In the Persian Bayan, the Báb stated: "Well is it with
him who fixeth his gaze upon the Order of Bahá'u'lláh, and rendereth thanks
unto his Lord. For He will assuredly be made manifest. God hath indeed
irrevocably ordained it in the Bayan." Shoghi Effendi identifies this
"Order" with the System Bahá'u'lláh envisages in the Aqdas, in
which He testifies to its revolutionizing effect on the life of humanity and
reveals the laws and principles which govern its operation. The features of the
"new World Order" are delineated in the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh and
'Abdu'l-Bahá and in the letters of Shoghi Effendi and the Universal House of
Justice.
