The government, the nation, the clergy, and prominent
leaders sought to extinguish His [the Báb’s] light, but to no avail. At last
His moon rose, His star shone forth, His foundation was secured, and His
horizon was flooded with light. He trained a large multitude through divine
education and exerted a marvellous influence upon the thoughts, customs,
morals, and manners of the Persians. He proclaimed the glad-tidings of the
manifestation of the Sun of Bahá to all His followers and readied them for
faith and certitude.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in Akka, authenticated by
