Purpose and power: "God... hath called into being His creatures that they may know Him... He hath sent His Messengers, Whom He hath commissioned to announce unto men tidings of the Paradise of His good pleasure, and do draw them nigh unto the Haven of abiding security, the Seat of eternal holiness and transcendent glory." (Gl 144- 5) "By a word of His command all that are in heaven and on earth have come to exist, and by His wish, which is the Primal Will itself, all have stepped out of utter nothingness into the realm of being, the world of the visible." "Say: the essence of all power is God's, the highest and the last End of all creation." (Iqan 98; Gl 341) (31:1)
