417 quote(s) | Page 16 / 17

T hou hadst inquired which of the Prophets of God should be regarded as superior to others. Know thou assuredly that the essence of all the Prophets of God is one and the same. Their unity is absolute. God, the Creator, saith: There is no distinction whatsoever among the Bearers of My Message.

quote 4620 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

T hey all have but one purpose; their secret is the same secret. To prefer one in honour to another, to exalt certain ones above the rest, is in no wise to be permitted. Every true Prophet hath regarded His Message as fundamentally the same as the Revelation of every other Prophet gone before Him.

quote 4619 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

T he measure of the revelation of the Prophets of God in this world, however, must differ. Each and every one of them hath been the Bearer of a distinct Message, and hath been commissioned to reveal Himself through specific acts.

quote 4618 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

W herefore, should one of these Manifestations of Holiness proclaim saying: “I am the return of all the Prophets,” He, verily, speaketh the truth. In like manner, in every subsequent Revelation, the return of the former Revelation is a fact, the truth of which is firmly established....

quote 4617 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

I t is clear and evident to thee that all the Prophets are the Temples of the Cause of God, Who have appeared clothed in divers attire.

quote 4616 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

T hese attributes of God are not, and have never been, vouchsafed specially unto certain Prophets, and withheld from others. Nay, all the Prophets of God, His well-favoured, His holy and chosen Messengers are, without exception, the bearers of His names, and the embodiments of His attributes.

quote 4615 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

A rise, O wayfarer in the path of the Love of God, and aid thou His Cause.

quote 4614 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

B estir yourselves, O people, in anticipation of the days of Divine justice, for the promised hour is now come. Beware lest ye fail to apprehend its import and be accounted among the erring.

quote 4613 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

G reat indeed is this Day! The allusions made to it in all the sacred Scriptures as the Day of God attest its greatness. The soul of every Prophet of God, of every Divine Messenger, hath thirsted for this wondrous Day.

quote 4612 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

B end your energies to whatever may foster the education of men.

quote 4611 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

S how forbearance and benevolence and love to one another.

quote 4610 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

N ow is the time to cheer and refresh the down-cast through the invigorating breeze of love and fellowship, and the living waters of friendliness and charity.

quote 4609 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

I t is incumbent upon all the peoples of the world to reconcile their differences, and, with perfect unity and peace, abide beneath the shadow of the Tree of His care and loving-kindness.

quote 4608 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

T he Revelation which, from time immemorial, hath been acclaimed as the Purpose and Promise of all the Prophets of God, and the most cherished Desire of His Messengers, hath now, by virtue of the pervasive Will of the Almighty and at His irresistible bidding, been revealed unto men.

quote 4607 | The Writings of Bahá’u’lláh

W ere any of the all-embracing Manifestations of God to declare: “I am God!” He verily speaketh the truth, and no doubt attacheth thereto. For it hath been repeatedly demonstrated that through their Revelation, their attributes and names, the Revelation of God, His name and His attributes, are made manifest in the world.

quote 4606 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

T he heart must needs therefore be cleansed from the idle sayings of men, and sanctified from every earthly affection, so that it may discover the hidden meaning of divine inspiration, and become the treasury of the mysteries of divine knowledge.

quote 4605 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

W ould that the hearts of men could be cleansed from these manmade limitations and obscure thoughts imposed upon them! Haply they may be illumined by the light of the Sun of true knowledge, and comprehend the mysteries of divine wisdom.

quote 4604 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

I nasmuch as the Christian divines have failed to apprehend the meaning of these words, and did not recognise their object and purpose, and have clung to the literal interpretation of the words of Jesus, they therefore became deprived of the streaming grace of the Muhammadan Revelation and its showering bounties.

quote 4603 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

E very discerning observer will recognise that in the Dispensation of the Quran both the Book and the Cause of Jesus were confirmed. As to the matter of names, Muhammad, Himself, declared: “I am Jesus.” He recognised the truth of the signs, prophecies, and words of Jesus, and testified that they were all of God.

quote 4602 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

L eaders of religion, in every age, have hindered their people from attaining the shores of eternal salvation, inasmuch as they held the reins of authority in their mighty grasp.

quote 4601 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

N ot one single Manifestation of Holiness hath appeared but He was afflicted by the denials, the repudiation, and the vehement opposition of the people around Him

quote 4600 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

C onsider the past. How many, both high and low, have, at all times, yearningly awaited the advent of the Manifestations of God in the sanctified persons of His chosen Ones. How often have they expected His coming, how frequently have they prayed that the breeze of divine mercy might blow, and the promised Beauty step forth from behind the veil of concealment, and be made manifest to all the world. And whensoever the portals of grace did open, and the clouds of divine bounty did rain upon mankind, and the light of the Unseen did shine above the horizon of celestial might, they all denied Him, and turned away from His face -- the face of God Himself.

quote 4599 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

T hey that tread the path of faith, they that thirst for the wine of certitude, must cleanse themselves of all that is earthly -- their ears from idle talk, their minds from vain imaginings, their hearts from worldly affections, their eyes from that which perisheth.

quote 4598 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

N o man shall attain the shores of the ocean of true understanding except he be detached from all that is in heaven and on earth

quote 4597 | The Kitáb-i-Íqán

B eware lest the desires of the flesh and of a corrupt inclination provoke divisions among you. Be ye as the fingers of one hand, the members of one body.

quote 4596 | The Kitáb-i-Aqdas
