I have fashioned all created things for Thy sake, and I have, by virtue of
My Will, set Thee sovereign Ruler over all mankind. Moreover, I have
decreed that whoso embraceth My religion shall believe in My unity, and I
have linked this belief with remembrance of Thee, and after Thee the
remembrance of such as Thou hast, by My leave, caused to be the 'Letters
of the Living', and of whatever hath been revealed from My religion in the
Bayan. This, indeed, is what will enable the sincere among My servants to
gain admittance into the celestial Paradise.
Verily, the sun is but a token from My presence so that the true believers
among My servants may discern in its rising the dawning of every
Dispensation.
In truth I have created Thee through Thyself, then at My Own behest I have
fashioned all things through the creative power of Thy Word. We are
All-Powerful. I have appointed Thee to be the Beginning and the End, the
Seen and the Hidden. Verily We are the All-Knowing.
No one hath been or will ever be invested with prophethood other than
Thee, nor hath any sacred Book been or will be revealed unto any one
except Thee. Such is the decree ordained by Him Who is the
All-Encompassing, the Best Beloved.
The Bayan is in truth Our conclusive proof for all created things, and all
the peoples of the world are powerless before the revelation of its
verses. It enshrineth the sum total of all the Scriptures, whether of the
past or of the future, even as Thou art the Repository of all Our proofs
in this Day.
