Ridván


The 1st Day of Ridván

Arise, and proclaim unto the entire creation tidings that He Who is the All-Merciful has directed His steps toward the Ridván and entered it. Guide, then, the people unto the garden of delight which God hath made the Throne of His Paradise. We have chosen thee to be our most mighty Trumpet, whose blast is to signalize the resurrection of all Mankind.

~Bahá'u'lláh


The 9th Day of Ridván

Verily, I say, this is the day in which Mankind can behold the Face, and hear the Voice, of The Promised One. The Call of God hath been raised, and the light of his countenance hath been lifted up upon men. It behoveth every man to blot out the trace of every idle word from the tablet of his heart, and to gaze, with an open and unbiased mind, on the signs of His Revelation, the proofs of His Mission, and the tokens of His glory.

~Bahá'u'lláh


The 12th Day of Ridván

I was but a man like others, asleep upon My couch, when lo, the breezes of the All-Glorious were wafted over Me, and taught Me the knowledge of all that hath been. This thing is not from Me, but from One Who is Almighty and All-Knowing. . . . His all-compelling summons hath reached Me, and caused Me to speak His praise amidst all people. I was indeed as one dead when His behest was uttered. The hand of the will of the Lord, the Compassionate, the Merciful, transformed Me.

~Bahá'u'lláh
