O people of the city! Ye have disbelieved your Lord. If ye
are truly faithful to Muhammad, the Apostle of God and the Seal of the
Prophets, and if ye follow His Book, the Qur’án, which is free from error, then
here is the like of it—this Book, which We have, in truth and by the leave of
God, sent down unto Our Servant. If ye fail to believe in Him, then your faith
in Muhammad and His Book which was revealed in the past will indeed be treated
as false in the estimation of God. If ye deny Him, the fact of your having
denied Muhammad and His Book will, in very truth and with absolute certainty,
become evident unto yourselves.

from the Writings of the Báb’)
