"A most wonderful and thrilling motion will appear in
the world of existence," are 'Abdu'l-Bahá's own words, predicting the
release of spiritual forces that must accompany the completion of this most
hallowed House of Worship. "From that point of light," He, further
glorifying that edifice, has written, "the spirit of teaching ... will
permeate to all parts of the world." And again: "Out of this
Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, without doubt, thousands of Mashriqu'l-Adhkars will be
born." "It marks the inception of the Kingdom of God on earth."
- Shoghi Effendi (‘Citadel of Faith’)
