Morning
In this most resplendent Dispensation, however, this most
mighty Sovereignty, a number of illumined divines, of men of consummate
learning, of doctors of mature wisdom, have attained unto His Court, drunk the
cup of His divine Presence, and been invested with the honour of His most
excellent favour. They have renounced, for the sake of the Beloved, the world
and all that is therein. We will mention the names of some of them, that
perchance it may strengthen the faint-hearted, and encourage the timorous.
Among them was Mullá Husayn, who became the recipient of the effulgent glory of the Sun of divine Revelation. But for him, God would not have been established upon the seat of His mercy, nor ascended the throne of eternal glory.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
Evening
Say: O people! We, verily, summoned you, in Our former Revelation, unto this Scene of transcendent glory, this Seat of stainless sanctity, and announced unto you the advent of the Days of God. Yet, when the most great veil was rent asunder, and the Ancient Beauty came unto you in the clouds of God’s decree, ye repudiated Him in Whom ye had believed aforetime. Woe betide you, O company of infidels! Fear ye God, and nullify not the truth with the things ye possess.
- Baha'u'llah (‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
