Thus the fruit is within the supreme
testimony itself, not in the things derived therefrom. And know thou of a
certainty that every letter revealed in the Bayan is solely intended to
evoke submission unto Him Whom God shall make manifest, for it is He Who
hath revealed the Bayan prior to His Own manifestation. V, 8.
"In this Revelation the Lord of the universe hath deigned ..."
In this Revelation the Lord of the universe hath deigned to bestow His
mighty utterances and resplendent signs upon the Point of the Bayan, and
hath ordained them as His matchless testimony for all created things. Were
all the people that dwell on earth to assemble together, they would be
unable to produce a single verse like unto the ones which God hath caused
to stream forth from the tongue of the Point of the Bayan. Indeed, if any
living creature were to pause to meditate he would undoubtedly realize
that these verses are not the work of man, but are solely to be ascribed
unto God, the One, the Peerless, Who causeth them to flow forth from the
tongue of whomsoever He willeth, and hath not revealed nor will He reveal
them save through the Focal Point of God's Primal Will. He it is, through
Whose dispensations divine Messengers are raised up and heavenly Books are
sent down. Had human beings been able to accomplish this deed surely
someone would have brought forth at least one verse during the period of
twelve hundred and seventy years which hath elapsed since the revelation
of the Qur'an until that of the Bayan.
