BB00330: Declaration of Qa’imiyyat

…Verily, I am the Qa’im Whose Day all await, and through Whom all have been promised. God hath created Me by His command and made Me to stand over every soul by virtue of what God hath vouchsafed unto Me.

The first to prostrate before Me was Muhammad, then Ali. These are the witnesses after Him, then the Gates of Guidance—they who hastened to the Cause of their Lord, and they are the triumphant ones. Verily, the beginning of that Cause is the first Day of Resurrection when all shall be brought before God.

Say: He was raised among the Arabs, then after forty years God revealed verses unto Him and made Him His Messenger to all the worlds. Say: I was raised among the Persians, and God revealed unto Me, after twenty-five years of My life had passed, verses which all are powerless to produce.

The Day of Judgment hath come to pass, and We, as We promised aforetime in the Qur’an, are recording what ye used to do. We desire that…
