deed an infinitely mighty Day, for in it the Divine
Tree proclaimeth from eternity unto eternity, 'Verily, I am God. No God is
there but Me'. Yet those who are veiled believe that He is one like unto
them, and they refuse even to call Him a believer, although such a title
in the realm of His heavenly Kingdom is conferred everlastingly upon the
most insignificant follower of His previous Dispensation. Thus, had the
people in the days of the Apostle of God regarded Him at least as a
believer of their time how would they have debarred Him, for seven years
while He was in the mountain, from access to His Holy House [Ka'bah]?
Likewise in this Dispensation of the Point of the Bayan, if the people had
not refused to concede the name believer unto Him, how could they have
incarcerated Him on this mountain, without realizing that the quintessence
of belief oweth its existence to a word from Him? Their hearts are

unto any other day. VIII, 9.

men, and we all verily plead for His grace. V, 19.

God loveth those who are pure. Naught in the Bayan and in the sight of God
is more loved than purity and immaculate cleanliness....
God desireth not to see, in the Dispensation of the Bayan, any soul
deprived of joy and radiance. He indeed desireth that under all
conditions, all may be adorned with such purity, both inwardly and
outwardly, that no repugnance may be caused even to themselves, how much
less unto others. V, 14.

Likewise consider the manifestation of the Point of the Bayan. There are
people who every night until morning busy themselves with the worship of
God, and even at p
