"Because of you the Apostle (Muḥammad) lamented, and the Chaste One (Fátimihs) cried out ..."







"BECAUSE of you the Apostle (Muḥammad) lamented, and the Chaste One (Fátimihs) cried out, and the countries were laid waste, and darkness fell upon all regions. O concourse of divines! Because of you the people were abased, and the banner of Islám was hauled down, and its mighty throne subverted. Every time a man of discernment hath sought to hold fast unto that which would exalt Islám, you raised a clamour, and thereby was He deterred from achieving His purpose, while the land remained fallen in clear ruin."

-Bahá'u'lláh, Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 103-104
