O Ahmad! Bear thou witness that verily He is God and there
is no God but Him, the King, the Protector, the Incomparable, the Omnipotent. And
that the One Whom He hath sent forth by the name of Ali [1] was the true One
from God, to Whose commands we are all conforming.
Say: O people be obedient to the ordinances of God, which
have been enjoined in the Bayan by the Glorious, the Wise One. Verily He is the
King of the Messengers and His book is the Mother Book did ye but know.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablet of Ahmad; compilation: ‘Baha’i Prayers’)
