Morning
We call to mind at this juncture Muhammad-‘Alí,[1] whose
flesh was mingled with that of his Master, his blood with His blood, his body
with His body, and his bones with those of his Lord, the Exalted, the
Bountiful. My Supreme Pen testifieth that he attained what no one had attained
before him, and there befell him that which no ear had heard. Upon him be My
glory, and the glory of My Kingdom and My Realm on high, and the splendour of
the dwellers of the city of justice and equity.
Blessed art thou, O Muhammad, in that thou hast drunk from the wine of utterance proffered by thy Lord, the All-Merciful. Thus hath the Sun of divine proofs shed its light from the horizon of the blessings of Thy God, the Lord of all mankind.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh’; Baha’i Reference Library of the Baha’i World Center)
[1] Mírzá Muhammad-‘Alí Zunúzí, surnamed Anís, who was martyred with the Báb.
Evening
I testify before God to the greatness, the inconceivable greatness of this Revelation. Again and again have We, in most of Our Tablets, borne witness to this truth, that mankind may be roused from its heedlessness.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
