As for thy question concerning those righteous souls who
passed away ere they heard the Call of this Revelation, know thou that those
who ascended unto God ere they heard this Call, but who followed the precepts
of Christ and walked in the Straight Path — these verily attained, after
ascending to the Divine Kingdom, unto the Refulgent Light.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From
a Tablet; ‘Additional Tablets, Extracts and Talks’; Online Baha’i Reference
