O King of the Earth! Hearken unto the call of this Vassal: Verily, I am a Servant Who hath believed in God
abstract Bahá’u’lláh’s lengthiest tablet to any monarch, delivered in person to the Shah at the cost of the messenger’s life, urging the Shah to judge His cause fairly; disavowing any designs on worldly power; detailing the injustices He and His followers had suffered over the course of successive banishments; calling the clergy to account for their role in His rejection; and, citing the rejection of Jesus and Muhammad by the people of their day, urging the Shah to consider the possibility of the appearance of a new Manifestation of God in this day.
