The Book of Ighan

and apprehend in this day; nay rather, by dominion is intended the dominion which appears during the days of the manifestation of each one of the Suns of Truth by Himself in Himself. It is that inward authority by which they prevail over all in the heavens and earth, and which afterward appears in the phenomenal world according to the capacity of the world, time and creatures. For instance, the sovereignty of His Holiness the Messenger (Mohammed) is now evident and manifest among people, whereas in the beginning, His Cause was as you have heard. How the people of unbelief and error the divines of that age and their followers afflicted that essence of Intuition and quintessence of Character! What thorns and refuse were strewn in the pathway of His Holiness! It is evident that according to their wicked and satanic imaginations, those persons considered injury to that Temple of Eternity conducive to their salvation. For all the learned of the age, such as Abdallah Obei, Abu-Amer the hermit, Ka'ab-Ibn-Ashraf and Nazr'Ibn-Harith falsely denied Him and accused Him of madness and calumny; such accusations that God forbids the ink to flow, the pen to move, or the page to speak in their mention. Yea, these accusations caused people to oppress His Holiness. It is evident and clear what will befall one whom the divines of the age reject, repudiate and consider faithless. It hath been seen what hath befallen this servant.
