Bahá’u’lláh’s reference to His Revelation during the period of His retirement in Kurdistan

Small wonder that Bahá’u’lláh Himself should have, in the Lawḥ-i-Maryam, pronounced the period of His retirement as “the mightiest testimony” to, and “the most perfect and conclusive evidence” of, the truth of His Revelation. 

- Shoghi Effendi (‘God Passes By’, chapter 7)
