Station of the Báb

O ye peoples of the earth! Hearken unto My call, ringing forth from the precincts of this sacred Tree—a Tree set ablaze by the pre-existent Fire: There is no God but Him; He is the Exalted, the All-Wise. O ye the servants of the Merciful One! Enter ye, one and all, through this Gate and follow not the steps of the Evil One, for he prompteth you to walk in the ways of impiety and wickedness; he is, in truth, your declared enemy. [cf. Qur’an 2:163-164]

- The Báb  (From Qayyumu’l-Asma; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)

The “religion of God” is “indivisible” – “free from distinction”

Become as true brethren in the one and indivisible religion of God, free from distinction, for verily God desireth that your hearts should become mirrors unto your brethren in the Faith, so that ye find yourselves reflected in them, and they in you. This is the true Path of God, the Almighty, and He is indeed watchful over your actions. 

- The Báb  (From Qayyumu’l-Asma; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)

The Báb calls on the “peoples of the West” to “aid God”

Issue forth from your cities, O peoples of the West and aid God ere the Day when the Lord of mercy shall come down unto you in the shadow of the clouds with the angels circling around Him, [Qur’an 2:206]exalting His praise and seeking forgiveness for such as have truly believed in Our signs. Verily His decree hath been issued, and the command of God, as given in the Mother Book, hath indeed been revealed.… 

- The Báb  (From Qayyumu’l-Asma; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)

The Báb refers to His book the Qayyumu’l-Asma as the Qur’án

Recite ye as much as convenient from this Qur’án both at morn and at eventide, and chant the verses of this Book, by the leave of the eternal God, in the sweet accents of this Bird which warbleth its melody in the vault of heaven. 

- The Báb  (From Qayyumu’l-Asma; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)

God assures the Báb that soon His Teachings will be embraced by all people

…Thy [the Báb’s] hidden Mystery hath, of a truth, been recorded upon the Tablet of creation in the midst of the Burning Bush. Erelong God will bestow upon Thee rulership over all men, inasmuch as His rule transcendeth the whole of creation. - The Báb  (From Qayyumu’l-Asma; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
