The Báb, the Exalted One, is the Morn of Truth, the splendor
of Whose light shineth throughout all regions. He is also the Harbinger of the
Most Great Light, the Abha Luminary. The Blessed Beauty is the One promised by
the sacred books of the past, the revelation of the Source of light that shone
upon Mount Sinai, Whose fire glowed in the midst of the Burning Bush.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated 8 February 1934,
published in ‘The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
