and cast into fire that which befitteth it. Thus hath it been decreed by
your Lord, the Mighty, the Loving, in this promised Day. He, verily,
ordaineth what He pleaseth. There is none other God save He, the Almighty,
the All-Compelling.
THE CLERGY AND PEOPLE OF VARIOUS FAITHS
"At one time We address the people of the Torah and summon..."
At one time We address the people of the Torah and summon them unto Him
Who is the Revealer of verses, Who hath come from Him Who layeth low the
necks of men.... At another, We address the people of the Evangel and say:
'The All-Glorious is come in this Name whereby the Breeze of God hath
wafted over all regions.'... At still another, We address the people of
the Qur'an saying: 'Fear the All-Merciful, and cavil not at Him through
Whom all religions were founded.'... Know thou, moreover, that We have
addressed to the Magians Our Tablets, and adorned them with Our Law.... We
have revealed in them the essence of all the hints and allusions contained
in their Books. The Lord, verily, is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.

hidden from mortal eyes is come! His all-conquering sovereignty is
manifest; His all-encompassing splendour is revealed. Beware lest thou
hesitate or halt. Hasten forth and circumambulate the City of God that
hath descended from heaven, the celestial Kaaba round which have circled
in adoration the favoured of God, the pure in heart, and the company of
the most exalted angels. O how I long to announce unto every spot on the

glad-tidings of this Revelation--a Revelation to which the heart of Sinai
hath been attracted, and in whose name the Burning Bush is calling: 'Unto
God, the Lord of Lords, belong the kingdoms of earth and heaven.' Verily
this is the Day in which both land and sea rejoice at this announcement,
the Day for which have been laid up those things which God, through a
bounty beyond the ken of mortal mind or heart, hath destined for
revelation. Ere long will God sail His Ark upon thee, and will manifest
the people of Baha who have been mentioned in the Book of Names.
