Gleanings — Paragraph 143

Source (Arabic)

پیدایش ایشان در جهان یکسان نه و هر یک برفتار و کردار جداگانه پدیدار و در میان خوردی و بزرگی نمودار ولی ایشان مانند ماه تابان است چنانچه او هر گاهی بنمایش جداگانه پدیدار با آنکه هیچ گاهی او را کاهش و نیستی نه پس دانسته شد که این نه بیشی و کمی است ولی

Translation

The measure of the revelation of the Prophets of God in this world, however, must differ. Each and every one of them hath been the Bearer of a distinct Message, and hath been commissioned to reveal Himself through specific acts. It is for this reason that they appear to vary in their greatness. Their Revelation may be likened unto the light of the moon that sheddeth its radiance upon the earth. Though every time it appeareth, it revealeth a fresh measure of its brightness, yet its inherent splendor can never diminish, nor can its light suffer extinction.
