The government, the nation, the clergy, and prominent
leaders sought to extinguish His 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 ‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some
Answered Questions’ – 2014 revised translation by the Baha’i World Centre)
