The government, the nation, the doctors of divinity and the
great personages desired to extinguish His[the Bab's] light, but they could not do so. At
last His moon arose, His star shone forth, His foundations became firmly
established, and His dawning-place became brilliant. He imparted divine
education to an unenlightened multitude and produced marvelous results on the
thoughts, morals, customs and conditions of the Persians. He announced the glad
tidings of the manifestation of the Sun of Bahá to His followers and prepared
them to believe.
The appearance of such wonderful signs and great results;
the effects produced upon the minds of the people, and upon the prevailing
ideas; the establishment of the foundations of progress; and the organization
of the principles of success and prosperity by a young merchant, constitute the
greatest proof that He was a perfect Educator. A just person will never
hesitate to believe this. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Some Answered Questions’)
