In the Súriy-i-Sabr,
[Surih of Patience] revealed as far back as the year 1863, on the very first
day of His arrival in the garden of Ridván, He thus affirms: “God hath sent
down His Messengers to succeed to Moses and Jesus, and He will continue to do
so till ‘the end that hath no end’; so that His grace may, from the heaven of
Divine bounty, be continually vouchsafed to mankind.”
(Shoghi
Effendi, ‘God Passes By’)
