By the righteousness of Him Who hath called thee into being
and unto Whom erelong thou shalt return, if thou remainest, at the moment of
death, a disbeliever in the signs of thy Lord thou shalt surely enter the gates
of hell, and none of the deeds thy hands have wrought will profit thee, nor
shalt thou find a patron nor anyone to plead for thee. Fear thou God and pride
not thyself on thine earthly possessions, inasmuch as what God doth possess is
better for them that tread the path of righteousness.
- The Bab (From Tablet to Muhammad Shah; ‘Selections
from the Writings of the Báb)
