Morning
Seize your chance, inasmuch as a fleeting moment in this Day excelleth centuries of a bygone age... Neither sun nor moon hath witnessed a day such as this... It is evident that every age in which a Manifestation of God hath lived is divinely ordained and may, in a sense, be characterized as God’s appointed Day. This Day, however, is unique and is to be distinguished from those that have preceded it. The designation ‘Seal of the Prophets’ fully reveals and demonstrates its high station.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
Evening
Doth it seem strange to the people that We should have
revealed the Book to a man from among themselves in order to purge them and
give them the good tidings that they shall be rewarded with a sure stance in
the presence of their Lord? He indeed beareth witness unto all things...
When the verses of this Book are recited to the infidels they say: ‘Give us a book like the Qur’án and make changes in the verses.’ Say: ‘God hath not given Me that I should change them at My pleasure.’ I follow only what is revealed unto Me. Verily, I shall fear My Lord on the Day of Separation, whose advent He hath, in very truth, irrevocably ordained. [cf. Qur’án 10:16]
- The Báb (From the Qayyumu’l-Asma, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
