The earth bore witness in my support and so did the heaven. In this way, the heaven and the earth have affirmed that. I am the Vicegerent of Allāh. But in keeping with the prophecies, it was inescapable that I too should be denied. Therefore, those whose hearts are in veils do not accept me. I know well that God will surely support me as He has always supported His Messengers. None can ever succeed against me. [Eik Ghalaţi Kā Izālah, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 18, p. 210]. Since I am a follower of the Prophets who was invested with all human excellences and whose law was most perfect and complete in all its aspects and was designed to reform the whole world, therefore, I have been invested with all the capacities that are needed for the reform of the whole of mankind. .
