As to those who deny Him Who is the Sublime Gate of God for them We have prepared, as justly decreed by God, a sore torment. And He, God, is the Mighty, the Wise… O peoples of the earth! I swear by your Lord! Ye shall act as former generations have acted. Warn ye, then, yourselves of the terrible, the most grievous vengeance of God. For God is, verily, potent over all things… By My glory! I will make the infidels to taste, with the hands of My power, retributions unknown of anyone except Me, and will waft over the faithful those musk-scented breaths which I have nursed in the midmost heart of My throne.
- The Báb (A few passages quoted by Shoghi Effendi in 'The Promised Day is Come')
