Báb citáty

Sajjid Alí Muhammad , většinou nazýván Báb, byl zakladatel bábismu. Narodil se v íránském Širázu. Byl kupcem, než se ve svých dvaceti pěti letech prohlásil za zvěstovatele 12. imáma mahdího. Poté, co toto prohlásil, přijal titul Báb, což by se dalo přeložit jako „brána“. Zanechal po sobě stovky dopisů a množství knih, ve kterých předesílá své mesianistické poslání a své učení. Prvním textem byl Qayyūm al-asmā. Po jeho vydání shromáždil 18 žáků . Ve své době si Báb získal tisíce příznivců, kteří ač vycházeli ze šíitského islámu, tvořili opoziční hnutí k tehdejšímu šíitskému kněžstvu. Když se Bábovi věřící na několika místech v Íránu pokusili o odpor proti ozbrojeným útokům královské armády, jež byly proti nim vedeny, začali být pronásledováni a zabíjeni. Toto pronásledování dostihlo i Bába, který byl v roce 1850 v íránském Tabrízu popraven.

Stoupenci víry Bahá'í tvrdí, že zakladatel Bahá'í víry Bahá’u’lláh je právě oním příslíbeným Poslem Božím či Projevem Božím, jehož zvěstovatelem byl Báb. Wikipedia

„Ve jménu Boha, Nejvznešenějšího, Nejsvětějšího. Posvátnému a slavnému dvoru Pána svrchovaného, Jenž v mystériu Podstaty Své vlastní božské od věčnosti dlí a po věčnost nadále dlíti bude, Jenž ve věčnosti Své nesrovnatelné od nepaměti přebývá a navěky nadále přebývati bude, povznesen nad dosah a obzor všech bytostí stvořených, chvála a sláva veškerá náleží. Znamením Zjevení Jeho nesrovnatelného, tak jak Jím utvořeno a do skutečnosti všech bytostí otisknuto bylo, nic jiného není nežli bezmocnost jejich Jej poznati. Světlo, jímž věci všechny zalil a zalévá, ničím jiným není nežli září Já Jeho vlastního. On Sám po všechen čas nad jakéžkoliv spojení s tvory Svými povýšen jest. On stvoření veškeré způsobem takovým utvořil, že by bytosti všechny, schopnostmi svými vrozenými, před Bohem v Den vzkříšení dosvědčiti mohly, že On druha žádného, ni Sobě rovného nemá a od jakéhožkoliv podobenství, podobnosti či srovnání oproštěn jest. On ve slávě transcendentní bytí Svého božského jediným a nesrovnatelným vždy byl, jest a navždy bude a v ušlechtilosti Panstva Svého svrchovaného nepopsatelně mocným vždy jest. Nikdo nikdy schopen nebyl náležitě Jej rozpoznati, ni člověk žádný nikdy neuspěje Jemu porozuměti tak, jak opravdu vhodné a patřičné jest, neboť jakážkoliv skutečnost, na niž se termín „bytí“ použíti dá, svrchovanou Vůlí Všemohoucího stvořena byla, Jenž ji září Já Svého vlastního zalil, která z postavení Jeho nejmajestátnějšího vyzařuje. On navíc dovnitř skutečností všech věcí stvořených emblém rozpoznání Svého vložil, by jistojistě každý věděti mohl, že On Počátkem i Koncem jest, Projeveným i Skrytým, Tvůrcem i Udržovatelem, Všemohoucím a Vševědoucím, Tím, Kdož věci všechny slyší a vnímá, Tím, Kdož v moci Své neporazitelným jest a v totožnosti Své vlastní jako svrchovaný stojí, Tím, Kdož oživuje i zemříti dá, Všemocným, Nepřístupným, Nejvznešenějším, Nejvyšším. Každé zjevení Podstaty Jeho božské znamením jest ušlechtilosti slávy Jeho, vznešenosti posvátnosti Jeho, nepřístupných výšin Jednosti Jeho a velebením majestátu a moci Jeho. Počátek Jeho počátku žádného nemá krom prvosti Jeho vlastní a konec Jeho konce žádného nezná vyjma poslednosti Jeho vlastní.

„Zjevení Skutečnosti božské s utajením jejím totožné věčně bylo a jest a utajení její zas totožné se zjevením jejím. „Zjevením Božím“ myšlen jest Strom Pravdy božské, který nikoho jiného nežli Jeho neoznačuje, a jest to právě tento Strom božský, jenž Posly pozvedával, pozvedává a pozvedávati bude a Písma zjevoval, zjevuje a vždy zjevovati bude. Od věčnosti po věčnost tento Strom Pravdy božské sloužil a vždy sloužiti bude jako trůn zjevení a utajení Boha mezi stvořeními Jeho a ve věku každém projeven jest skrze kohožkoliv, kdož Jemu se zlíbí.
V době zjevení Koránu On sílu Svou nesrovnatelnou prostřednictvím příchodu Muḥammada potvrdil a u příležitosti zjevení Bayánu moc svou svrchovanou prostřednictvím objevení se Bodu Bayánu projevil, a až Ten, Kohož Bůh projeví, zazáří, skrze Něj pravdu Víry Své uhájí, jak se Mu zlíbí, čímžkoliv se Mu zlíbí a pro cožkoliv se Mu zlíbí. On s věcmi všemi jest, leč s Ním nic není. On uvnitř věci žádné, ni nad ní, ni vedle ní není. Jakážkoliv zmínka o tom, že On na trůně usazen jest, znamená, že Zmocněnec Zjevení Jeho na stolci všepřesahující pravomoci usazen jest…
On věčně existoval a navěky nadále existovati bude. On pro lidi všechny nevyzpytatelným byl, jest a vždy bude, ježto všichni krom Něj skrze moc příkazu Jeho stvořeni vždy byli a vždy budou. On povznesen nad zmínku či chválu veškerou jest a posvěcen nad každé slovo pochvaly či srovnání každé. Žádná věc stvořená Jej nepochopí, zatímco On vpravdě věci všechny chápe. A když řečeno jest: „žádná věc stvořená Jej nepochopí“, toto vztahuje se na Zrcadlo Zjevení Jeho, tedy na Toho, Kohož Bůh projeví. Vskutku, příliš vznešený a povznesený On jest, by se o Něm kdožkoliv nepřímo zmiňovati mohl.

XVII, 11
The Kitáb-I-Asmá
Kontext: Should a person lay claim to a cause and produce his proofs, then those who seek to repudiate him are required to produce proofs like unto his. If they succeed in doing so, his words will prove vain and they will prevail; otherwise neither his words will cease nor the proofs he hath set forth will become void. I admonish you, O ye who are invested with the Bayán, if ye would fain assert your ascendancy, confront not any soul unless ye give proofs similar to that which he hath adduced; for Truth shall be firmly established, while aught else besides it is sure to perish.

“I am one of the sustaining pillars of the Primal Word of God. Whosoever hath recognized Me, hath known all that is true and right, and hath attained all that is good and seemly; and whosoever hath failed to recognize Me, hath turned away from all that is true and right and hath succumbed to everything evil and unseemly.”

We have created you from one tree and have caused you to be as the leaves and fruit of the same tree, that haply ye may become a source of comfort to one another. Regard ye not others save as ye regard your own selves, that no feeling of aversion may prevail amongst you so as to shut you out from Him Whom God shall make manifest on the Day of Resurrection. It behooveth you all to be one indivisible people; thus should ye return unto Him Whom God shall make manifest.

Thus they deprived themselves of beholding the countenance of God, and this for no other reason than mutual denunciations.

“In the time of the First Manifestation the Primal Will appeared in Adam; in the day of Noah It became known in Noah; in the day of Abraham in Him; and so in the day of Moses; the day of Jesus; the day of Muḥammad, the Apostle of God; the day of the ‘Point of the Bayán’; the day of Him Whom God shall make manifest; and the day of the One Who will appear after Him Whom God shall make manifest. Hence the inner meaning of the words uttered by the Apostle of God, ‘I am all the Prophets’, inasmuch as what shineth resplendent in each one of Them hath been and will ever remain the one and the same sun.”

Tablet to ‘Him Who Will Be Made Manifest’

“How great hath been the number of those who have falsely laid claim to a cause within Islám, and ye followed in their footsteps without having witnessed a single proof. What evidence can ye then produce in the presence of your Lord, if ye do but meditate a while?
Take ye good heed in your night lest ye be a cause of sadness to any soul, whether ye be able to discover proofs in him or not, that haply on the Day of Resurrection ye may not grieve Him within Whose grasp lieth every proof. And when ye do not discern God’s testimony in a person, he will verily fail in manifesting the power of Truth; and God is sufficient to deal with him. Indeed on no account should ye sadden any person; surely God will put him to the proof and bring him to account. It behooveth you to cling to the testimony of your own Faith and to observe the ordinances laid down in the Bayán.”

XVIII, 3
The Kitáb-I-Asmá

“The acts of Him Whom God shall make manifest are like unto the sun, while the works of men, provided they conform to the good-pleasure of God, resemble the stars or the moon… Thus, should the followers of the Bayán observe the precepts of Him Whom God shall make manifest at the time of His appearance, and regard themselves and their own works as stars exposed to the light of the sun, then they will have gathered the fruits of their existence; otherwise the title of ‘starship’ will not apply to them. Rather it will apply to such as truly believe in Him, to those who pale into insignificance in the day-time and gleam forth with light in the night season.
Such indeed is the fruit of this precept, should anyone observe it on the Day of Resurrection. This is the essence of all learning and of all righteous deeds, should anyone but attain unto it. Had the peoples of the world fixed their gaze upon this principle, no Exponent of divine Revelation would ever have, at the inception of any Dispensation, regarded them as things of naught. However, the fact is that during the night season everyone perceiveth the light which he himself, according to his own capacity, giveth out, oblivious that at the break of day this light shall fade away and be reduced to utter nothingness before the dazzling splendour of the sun.”

Tablet to ‘Him Who Will Be Made Manifest’

“In the Name of God, the Most Exalted, the Most Holy. All praise and glory befitteth the sacred and glorious court of the sovereign Lord, Who from everlasting hath dwelt, and unto everlasting will continue to dwell within the mystery of His Own divine Essence, Who from time immemorial hath abided and will forever continue to abide within His transcendent eternity, exalted above the reach and ken of all created beings. The sign of His matchless Revelation as created by Him and imprinted upon the realities of all beings, is none other but their powerlessness to know Him. The light He hath shed upon all things is none but the splendour of His Own Self. He Himself hath at all times been immeasurably exalted above any association with His creatures. He hath fashioned the entire creation in such wise that all beings may, by virtue of their innate powers, bear witness before God on the Day of Resurrection that He hath no peer or equal and is sanctified from any likeness, similitude or comparison. He hath been and will ever be one and incomparable in the transcendent glory of His divine being and He hath ever been indescribably mighty in the sublimity of His sovereign Lordship. No one hath ever been able befittingly to recognize Him nor will any man succeed at any time in comprehending Him as is truly meet and seemly, for any reality to which the term ‘being’ is applicable hath been created by the sovereign Will of the Almighty, Who hath shed upon it the radiance of His Own Self, shining forth from His most august station. He hath moreover deposited within the realities of all created things the emblem of His recognition, that everyone may know of a certainty that He is the Beginning and the End, the Manifest and the Hidden, the Maker and the Sustainer, the Omnipotent and the All-Knowing, the One Who heareth and perceiveth all things, He Who is invincible in His power and standeth supreme in His Own identity, He Who quickeneth and causeth to die, the All-Powerful, the Inaccessible, the Most Exalted, the Most High. Every revelation of His divine Essence betokens the sublimity of His glory, the loftiness of His sanctity, the inaccessible height of His oneness and the exaltation of His majesty and power. His beginning hath had no beginning other than His Own firstness and His end knoweth no end save His Own lastness.”

“In every nation thou beholdest unnumbered spiritual leaders who are bereft of true discernment, and among every people thou dost encounter myriads of adherents who are devoid of the same characteristic. Ponder for a while in thy heart, have pity on thyself and turn not aside thine attention from proofs and evidences. However, seek not proofs and evidences after thine idle fancy; but rather base thy proofs upon what God hath appointed. Moreover, know thou that neither being a man of learning nor being a follower is in itself a source of glory. If thou art a man of learning, thy knowledge becometh an honour, and if thou art a follower, thine adherence unto leadership becometh an honour, only when these conform to the good-pleasure of God.”

Everything thou beholdest hath been called into being through the operation of His Will. How can such a created thing, therefore, be indicative of His essential oneness? God’s existence in itself testifieth to His Own oneness, while every created thing, by its very nature, beareth evidence that it hath been fashioned by God.

Nay, and yet again, nay! Ye will go astray far beyond the peoples unto whom the Gospel, or the Qur’án or any other Scripture was given. Take good heed to yourselves, inasmuch as the Cause of God will come upon you at a time when you will all be entreating and tearfully imploring God for the advent of the Day of His Manifestation; yet when He cometh ye will tarry and will fail to be of those who are well-assured in His Faith.
Beware lest ye grieve Him Who is the Supreme Manifestation of your Lord; verily, He can well afford to dispense with your allegiance unto Him. Be ye careful and bring not despondency upon any soul, for surely ye shall be put to proof.”
