Nabil-i-Azam recorded several statements which were made by
Bahá'u'lláh to certain Persian princes in Baghdad on the subject of the future
nobility of mankind:
“My purpose in coming to this corrupt world where the
tyrants and traitors, by their acts of cruelty and oppression, have closed the doors
of peace and tranquility to all mankind, is to establish, through the power of
God and His might, the forces of justice, trust, security and faith. For
instance [in the future] should a woman ..., who is unsurpassed in her beauty
and adorned with the most exquisite and priceless jewels, travel unveiled and
alone, from the east of the world to the west thereof, passing through every
land and journeying in all countries, there would be such a standard of
justice, trustworthiness and faith on the one hand, and lack of treachery and
degradation on the other, that no one would be found who would wish to rob her
of her possessions or to cast a treacherous and lustful eye upon her beauteous
chastity!...”
“Through the power of God I shall transform the peoples of
the world into this exalted state and shall open this most great door to the
face of all humanity.”
- Baha'u'llah (Words of Baha’u’llah quoted by Nabil-‘A’zam in Panj
Kanz (Five Treasures), unpublished, printed in ‘The Revelation of Baha’u’llah,
vol. 2’, by Adib Taherzadeh)
