"If this Cause be of God," He thus addresses the Minister of the Shah in Constantinople, "no man can prevail against it; and if it be not of God, the divines amongst you, and they that follow their corrupt desires, and such as have rebelled against Him, will surely suffice to overpower it." (90:2) "Of all the peoples of the world," He, in another Tablet, observes, "they that have suffered the greatest loss have been, and are still, the people of Persia. I swear by the Daystar of Utterance which shineth upon the world in its meridian glory! The lamentations of the pulpits, in that country, are being raised continually. In the early days such lamentations were heard in the Land of Ta (Tihran), for pulpits, erected for the purpose of remembering the True One - exalted be His glory - have now, in Persia, become places wherefrom blasphemies are uttered against Him Who is the Desire of the worlds."
(90:3)
