He…was none other than the promised Qá’im (He who ariseth),
the Sáhibu’z-Zamán (the Lord of the Age), Who assumed the exclusive right of
annulling the whole Qur’ánic Dispensation, Who styled Himself “the Primal Point
from which have been generated all created things ... the Countenance of God
Whose splendor can never be obscured, the Light of God Whose radiance can never
fade.”
- Shoghi Effendi (‘God Passes By’)
