"The Manifestations of universal Prophethood... are, for example, Abraham, Moses, Christ, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah... for the independent Prophets are Founders; They establish a new religion and make new creatures of men; They change the general morals, promote new customs and rules, renew the cycle and the law. Their appearance is like the season of Spring, which arrays all earthly being in a new garment, and gives them a new life." (Saq 189)
(18:1)
