This is the
foundation of the belief of the people of Baha (may my life be offered up for
them): "His Holiness, the Exalted One (the Bab), is the Manifestation of
the Unity and Oneness of God and the Forerunner of the Ancient Beauty. His
Holiness the Abha Beauty (may my life be a sacrifice for His steadfast friends)
is the Supreme Manifestation of God and the Dayspring of His Most Divine
Essence. All others are servants unto Him and do His bidding." Unto the
Most Holy Book every one must turn, and all that is not expressly recorded
therein must be referred to the Universal House of Justice.

Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
