Verily in this Day all that dwell on earth are the servants
of God. As to those who truly believe in God and are well assured in the signs
revealed by Him, perchance He will graciously forgive them the things their
hands have committed, and will grant them admission into the precincts of His
mercy. He, in truth, is the Ever-Forgiving, the Compassionate. But the verdict
of divine chastisement is pronounced against those who have turned away
disdainfully from Me and have repudiated the conclusive proofs and the unerring
Book with which God hath invested Me, and on the Day of Severing they shall
find no protector or helper.
- The Báb (Extracts from an Epistle to Muhammad
Shah of Persia, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
