This is an epistle from the letter Thá [1] unto Him Who will
be made manifest through the power of Truth—He Who is the All-Glorious, the
Best-Beloved—to affirm that all created things as well as myself bear witness
for all time that there is none other God but Thee, the Omnipotent, the
Self-Subsisting; that Thou art God, there is no God besides Thee and that all
men shall be raised up to life through Thee.
- The Báb (‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
[1] This is the first letter of Thamarih which
means “fruit.” Shoghi Effendi, in his writings, refers to the Báb as the
Thamarih (fruit) of the Tree of God’s successive Revelations. (See Shoghi
Effendi’s letter to the Bahá’ís of the East dated Naw-Rúz 110, page 5.)
