Look at the history of the world and
try to find a parallel instance in which a native of the East has come to the
countries of the West, particularly America, and called out to them in the
churches and meetings there, raised the divine call in many of the large cities
and invited everyone to the Abhá Kingdom, with no one taking exception. Nay, on
the contrary, those present at the gatherings have heard him with patience and
unbounded joy. These things have been achieved solely through the confirmations
of the Abhá Kingdom.
(Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, 13 September 1912, Chicago, USA;
‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
