Praise be to God, that through the sufferings of Baha'o'llah souls are educated. Many there are shining from the horizon of eternal glory who sacrificed all, even to their lives and while under the sword cried, "Ya Baha El-Abha!" with radiant joy reflecting the power of Baha'o'llah. For love of him more than twenty thousand have quaffed the cup of martyrdom. While under the sword they danced with exultant joy. European historians bear witness to these facts and even the enemies of this cause have recorded stories of the martyrdoms, reputing to Baha'o'llah a supernatural power.
