And from the inception of the Revelation of the
Apostle of God--may the blessings of God be upon Him--till the day of His
ascension was the Resurrection of Jesus--peace be upon Him--wherein the Tree
of divine Reality appeared in the person of Muhammad, rewarding by His
Word everyone who was a believer in Jesus, and punishing by His Word
everyone who was not a believer in Him. And from the moment when the Tree
of the Bayan appeared until it disappeareth is the Resurrection of the
Apostle of God, as is divinely foretold in the Qur'an; the beginning of
which was when two hours and eleven minutes had passed on the eve of the
fifth of Jamadiyu'l-Avval, 1260 A.H.,(66) which is the year 1270 of the
Declaration of the Mission of Muhammad. This was the beginning of the Day
of Resurrection of the Qur'an, and until the disappearance of the Tree of
divine Reality is the Resurrection of the Qur'an. The stage of perfection
of everything is reached when its resurrection occurreth. The perfection
of the religion of Islam was consummated at the beginning of this
Revelation; and from the rise of this Revelation until its setting, the
fruits of the Tree of Islam, whatever they are, will become apparent. The
Resurrection of the Bayan will occur at the time of the appearance of Him
Whom God shall make manifest. For today the Bayan is in the stage of seed;
at the beginning of the manifestation of Him Whom God shall make manifest
its ultimate perfection will become apparent.
