Writings by Bahá’u’lláh

 

This is the Súrah of the Arabs which has been revealed by One Who is the Revealer, the Ancient of Days

He is the Sanctified, the Transcendent, the Exalted, the Most Effulgent

These are the verses of God which have been sent down from the heaven of wondrous glory, and which God has made to be a proof and testament from Him unto the worlds. Within it are mentioned the servants of God who recognized God in His own Self, who were not shut out as by a veil on account of the outcry of the idolators, who entered the shelter of His loving providence and reposed in the precincts of His mercy which surpasses all contingent things – this, indeed, is a great bounty.

 

The Tablet of the Clouds, revealed by God, the Possessor of all men

In God’s Name, the Omniscient, the All-Wise

This is a missive from the All-Merciful to those who have turned toward Him Who is the Point of Adoration unto all in the heavens and on earth, that they may be gladdened by the verses of God, be attracted thereby unto the horizon of Revelation, and be drawn nigh to a station wherein all things proclaim that there is none other god but Me, the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
