Within the continent of Asia is the "cradle of the
principal religions of mankind ... above whose horizons, in modern times, the
suns of two independent Revelations ... have successively arisen ... on whose
Western extremity the Qiblih of the Baha'i world has been definitely
established ..."
- The Universal House of Justice (Quoting a passage from
Shoghi Effendi dated October 1953 in ‘Dawn of a New Day’; ‘Messages from the
Universal House of Justice 1963-1986’)
