“By your deeds,” He, [Bahá’u’lláh] in another Tablet, anticipating the fall of the Sultanate and the Caliphate, thus reproves the combined forces of Sunní and Shí’ih Islám, “the exalted station of the people hath been abased, the standard of Islám hath been reversed, and its mighty throne hath fallen.”
- Shoghi Effendi (‘The Promised Day Is Come’)
