A hundred thousand glad tidings be upon ye that the Sun of
the Reality of the Beauty of Abha hath shone forth from the Horizon of the
Contingent Being and hath illumined the regions with the lights of the Most
Great Guidance. The realities of the Old Testament and the Gospel are already
fulfilled and the Mysteries of the Heavenly Books have become manifest. This is
the century of the Merciful One and the Period of Joy and Gladness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Star of the West, vol. 7, no. 1, March 21, 1916)
