Selections From the Writings of the Báb
Bab, ʻAli Muhammad Shirazi
Babism; Bahai Faith
Truly other apostles have been laughed to scorn before Thee,(53) and Thou
art none other but the Servant of God, sustained by the power of Truth.
Ere long We shall prolong the days of such as have rejected the Truth by
reason of that which their hands have wrought,(54) and verily God will not
deal unjustly with anyone, even to the extent of a speck on a date-stone.
_Chapter LXXXVII._
“O ye peoples of the earth! By the righteousness of God, ...”
O ye peoples of the earth! By the righteousness of God, the True One, the
testimony shown forth by His Remembrance is like unto a sun which the hand
of the merciful Lord hath raised high in the midmost heart of the heaven,
wherefrom it shineth in the plenitude of its meridian splendour...
With each and every Prophet Whom We have sent down in the past, We have
established a separate Covenant concerning the Remembrance of God and His
Day. Manifest, in the realm of glory and through the power of truth, are
the Remembrance of God and His Day before the eyes of the angels that
circle His mercy-seat. _Chapter XCI._
“O Hour of the Dawn! Ere the resplendent glory of the ...”
O Hour of the Dawn! Ere the resplendent glory of the divine Luminary
sheddeth its radiance from the Dayspring of this Gate, call thou to mind
that the appointed Day of God will indeed be at hand in less than the

indeed the True One from God. Verily God is cognizant of all things
through the power of eternal Truth...
O ye that circle the throne of glory! Hearken unto My Call which is raised
from the midst of the Burning Bush, ‘Verily I am God and there is none
other God but Me. Hence worship Me, and for the sake of Him Who is the
Most Great Remembrance, offer ye prayers, purged from the insinuations of
the people, for verily your Lord, the One true God, is none other than the
Sovereign Truth. Indeed such as invoke others besides Him are deservedly
numbered among the inmates of the fire, while He Who is the Remembrance of
God verily abideth, firm and undeviating, on the Path of Truth amidst the
Burning Bush.’...
O peoples of the earth! Inflict not upon the Most Great Remembrance what
the Umayyads cruelly inflicted upon Ḥusayn in the Holy Land. By the
righteousness of God, the True One, He is indeed the Eternal Truth, and
unto Him God, verily, is a witness. _Chapter XVII._
