"Every true Prophet hath regarded His Message as fundamentally the same as the Revelation of every other Prophet gone before Him...

The Bab made a covenant concerning the Blessed Beauty of Baha'u'llah and gave the glad tidings of His coming... Baha'u'llah made a covenant concerning a Promised One Who will become manifest after one thousand or thousands of years." (Bwf 358) (95:5)

"The ideal safeguard, namely, the religion of God, prevents both the manifest and the concealed crime, trains man, educates morals, compels the adoption of virtues and is the all- inclusive power which guarantees the felicity of the world of mankind. But by religion is meant that which is ascertained by investigation and not that which is based on mere imitation, the foundation of Divine religions and not human imitations." (Bwf 289) (95:6)
