Messengers Of God Are As One Soul

If thou be of the inmates of this city within the ocean of divine unity, thou wilt view all the Prophets and Messengers of God as one soul and one body, as one light and one spirit, in such wise that the first among them would be last and the last would be first. For they have all arisen to proclaim His Cause and have established the laws of divine wisdom. They are, one and all, the Manifestations of His Self, the Repositories of His might, the Treasuries of His Revelation, the Dawning-Places of His splendour, and the Daysprings of His light. Through them are manifested the signs of sanctity in the realities of all things and the tokens of oneness in the essences of all beings. Through them are revealed the elements of glorification in the heavenly realities and the exponents of praise in the eternal essences. From them hath all creation proceeded and unto them shall return all that hath been mentioned. And since in their inmost Beings they are the same Luminaries and the self-same Mysteries, thou shouldst view their outward conditions in the same light, that thou mayest recognize them all as one Being, nay, find them united in their words, speech, and utterance. ~ Bahá’u’lláh

My apologies to my Muslim brothers and sisters. I had used a Creative Commons-allowed photo of the Kol Sharif mosque in Kazan, Russia. The magnificent photo of the beautiful mosque was by Maxim Malkov. While I did not imply Mr. Malkov's endorsement of such use, I felt use of the Mosque with a quote from my Faith might be offensive to some Muslims. So, my heartfelt apologies, if this were the case. The mosque is certainly Divinely inspired. May God continue to bless it and the Muslims in Kazan.
