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. |
