Praise be to God Who existed ere all things were brought into being, and with Whom nothing can be compared. He was manifest when there was none other to contemplate His reality. He is the One Whose essence the hearts of the knowing have longed to fathom, yet fail utterly to apprehend even the most infinitesimal glimpse of His attributes [4o]... …The glory of glories and the most resplendent light rest upon Thee, O my God. Thy majesty is so transcendent… O my God, my Lord and my Master! I have detached myself… I adjure Thee by Thy might, O my God!... O My God, O my Lord, O my Master! I beg Thee to forgive me |

Shoghi Effendi writes in " God Passes By", p. 26: "The Báb was still in Máh-Kú when He wrote the most detailed and illuminating of His Tablets to Muḥammad Sháh. Prefaced by a laudatory reference to the unity of God, to His Apostles and to the twelve Imáms; unequivocal in its assertion of the divinity of its Author and of the supernatural powers with which His Revelation had been invested; precise in the verses and traditions it cites in confirmation of so audacious a claim; severe in its condemnation of some of the officials and representatives of the Sháh’s administration, particularly of the “wicked and accursed” Ḥusayn Khán; moving in its description of the humiliation and hardships to which its writer had been subjected, this historic document resembles, in many of its features, the Lawḥ-i-Sulṭán, the Tablet addressed, under similar circumstances, from the prison-fortress of ‘Akká by Bahá’u’lláh to Náṣiri’d-Dín Sháh, and constituting His lengthiest epistle to any single sovereign." |

و وقتی بمناسبت سئوالات حاضرین فرق مابین مطالب و اقوال انبیا و متصوفین بیان مینمودند ... شخصی پرسید فرق این امر و صوفیه چیست فرمودند من آنرا بیان کردم حضرات صوفیه به دو مقام مومنند مقام حق و مقام خلق |

The adherents of all the religions of the world are expecting the coming of a Promised One and they pray for his advent.... In principle they agree with the religionists, but in the mode of expression and phraseology they differ from each other. (KHH: Even the naturalists [are expectant]. However, their expectation is not like the religionists who claim, ‘He will come from some unknown city,,,') |
