Bahá’u’lláh proclaimed the Message of the Báb to the famous Núri clergy
“I have not come to this place,” Bahá’u’lláh observed, “to
pay you an official or formal visit. My purpose is to enlighten you regarding a
new and wondrous Message, divinely inspired and fulfilling the promise given to
Islám. Whosoever has inclined his ear to this Message has felt its irresistible
power, and has been transformed by the potency of its grace. Tell Me whatsoever
perplexes your mind, or hinders you from recognising the Truth.”
