“A race of men,” is His [Bahá’u’lláh’s] written
promise, “incomparable in character, shall be raised up which, with the feet of
detachment, will tread under all who are in heaven and on earth, and will cast
the sleeve of holiness over all that hath been created from water and clay.”
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 25 December 1938, published as ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’; also
included in a compilation on ‘A
New Race of Men’ prepared by the Research
Department of the Universal House of Justice and attached to a letter dated 15
September 2013 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an
individual believer)
