He [the Báb] Who communicated the original impulse to so
incalculable a Movement was none other than the promised Qá’im (He who
ariseth), the Sáhibu’z-Zamán (the Lord of the Age), Who assumed the exclusive
right of annulling the whole Qur’ánic Dispensation, Who styled Himself “the
Primal Point from which have been generated all created things … the Countenance
of God Whose splendor can never be obscured, the Light of God Whose radiance
can never fade.”
- Shoghi Effendi (‘God Passes By’)
