Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Paradise and The Day of Resurrection: To The Bab

Paradise and The Day of Resurrection:
To The Bab

"There is no paradise, in the estimation of the believers in the Divine Unity, more exalted than to obey God’s commandments, and there is no fire in the eyes of those who have known God and His signs, fiercer than to transgress His laws and to oppress another soul, even to the extent of a mustard seed. On the Day of Resurrection God will, in truth, judge all men, and we all verily plead for His grace."

The Báb1

The Day of Resurrection
is the day of the appearance
of God's Manifestation.

Paradise--
nearness to God--
is revealed through
the Divine Manifestation.

Divine Unity
is the common foundation
of all religions.

The Resurrection
has occurred,
the door to paradise
and world peace
is open
inviting humanity in.
