Praise be unto God Who hath manifested the Point, hath
unfolded therefrom the knowledge of all things, whether of the past or of the
future—a Point He hath chosen to be the Herald of His Name and the Harbinger of
His Great Revelation which hath caused the limbs of all mankind to quake and
the splendour of His light to shine forth above the horizon of the world.
Verily, this is the Point which God hath ordained to be an ocean of light for
the sincere among His servants and a flame of fire to the froward amidst His
creatures and the impious among His people…
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
