Siyyid Kázim-i-Rashtí,… to his disciples, as his days drew
to a close,…had significantly declared: “Verily, I say, after the Qá’im the
Qayyúm will be made manifest. For when the star of the former has set the sun
of the beauty of Husayn will rise and illuminate the whole world. Then will be
unfolded in all its glory the ‘Mystery’ and the ‘Secret’ spoken of by Shaykh
Ahmad.... To have attained unto that Day of Days is to have attained unto the
crowning glory of past generations, and one goodly deed performed in that age
is equal to the pious worship of countless centuries.”
- Shoghi Effendi (‘God
Passes By’)
