notes

"... Prophets are in general of two kinds. Some are independent Prophets Who are followed, while others are not independent and are themselves followers.

– 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, chapter 43

"There are three kinds of divine Prophets. One kind are the universal Manifestations, which are even as the sun. ... These Souls... have been sent forth to the entire world and the generality of mankind. Another kind of Prophets are followers and promulgators, not leaders and law-givers, but they are nonetheless the recipients of the hidden inspirations of God. Yet another kind are Prophets Whose prophethood has been limited to a particular locality."

–'Abdu'l-Bahá, Twelve table talks given by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in ‘Akká
