The foundation of
the belief of the people of Bahá (may my life be offered up for them) is this:
His holiness the exalted One (the Báb) is the Manifestation of the unity and
oneness of God and the Forerunner of the Ancient Beauty (Bahá’u’lláh). His
holiness, the Abhá Beauty (Bahá’u’lláh) (may my life be offered up as a
sacrifice for His steadfast friends) is the supreme Manifestation of God and
the Day-Spring of His most divine Essence.
