The aim of Bahá'u'lláh, the Prophet of this new and great
age which humanity has entered upon -- He whose advent fulfils the prophecies
of the Old and New Testaments as well as those of the Qur'án regarding the
coming of the Promised One in the end of time, on the Day of Judgment -- is not
to destroy but to fulfill the Revelations of the past, to reconcile rather than
accentuate the divergences of the conflicting creeds which disrupt present-day
society.
- Shoghi Effendi (Statement to the Special UN Committee on Palestine,
1947; World Order magazine, October 1947)
