The Báb “in the words of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá”

He Who was, in the words of ‘Abdu’lBahá,

  • the “Morn of Truth” and
  • “Harbinger of the Most Great Light,”
  • Whose advent at once signalized the termination of the “Prophetic Cycle” and the inception of the “Cycle of Fulfillment,”
  • had simultaneously through His Revelation banished the shades of night that had descended upon His country, and
  • proclaimed the impending rise of that Incomparable Orb Whose radiance was to envelop the whole of mankind. 
- Shoghi Effendi  (Chapter 4, God Passes By)
