"Verily, no God is there save Him, the Almighty, the Most Generous."



"Káf. Zá’. 1 We call unto thee from beyond the sea of grandeur, upon the crimson land, above the horizon of tribulation. Verily, no God is there save Him, the Almighty, the Most Generous. Walk thou steadfastly in My Cause and follow not the ways of those who, upon attaining unto the object of their desire, denied God, the Lord of Lords. Erelong shall He lay hold upon them in His wrath, and He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the All-Subduing."

-Bahá'u'lláh, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, Lawh-i-Fu’ád, p. 177






1.The Lawh-i-Fu’ád was addressed to Shaykh Kázim-i-Samandar of Qazvín, one of the apostles of Bahá’u’lláh. Its subject, the former Ottoman statesman Fu’ád Páshá, died in France in 1869. The letter names Káf and  refer to the K and Z of Kázim.
