What did Bahá’u’lláh write to Pope Pius IX?
O Pope! Rend the veils asunder. He Who is the Lord ofLords is come overshadowed with clouds, and the decreehath been fulfilled by God, the Almighty, theUnrestrained…. He, verily, hath again come down fromHeaven even as He came down from it the first time. Bewarethat thou dispute not with Him even as the Phariseesdisputed with Him (Jesus) without a clear token or proof.On His right hand flow the living waters of grace, and onHis left the choice Wine of justice, whilst before Him marchthe angels of Paradise, bearing the banners of His signs.Beware lest any name debar thee from God, the Creator ofearth and heaven. Leave thou the world behind thee, andturn towards thy Lord, through Whom the whole earth hathbeen illumined…Arise in the name of thy Lord, the God ofMercy, amidst the peoples of the earth, and seize thou theCup of Life with the hands of confidence, and first drinkthou therefrom, and proffer it then to such as turn towards itamongst the peoples of all faiths….
Bahá’u’lláh, Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 83

Consider the hour at which the supreme Manifestation of God revealeth Himself unto men. Ere that hour cometh, the Ancient Being, Who is still unknown of men and hath not as yet given utterance to the Word of God, is Himself the All-Knower in a world devoid of any man that hath known Him. He is indeed the Creator without a creation. For at the very moment preceding His Revelation, each and every created thing shall be made to yield up its soul to God. This is indeed the Day of which it hath been written:   "Whose shall be the  Kingdom this Day?" And none can be found ready to answer! Bahá’u’lláh,  Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh , p. 15

What did Bahá’u’lláh write to the world’s religious leaders?

O ye leaders of religion! Who is the man amongst you that can rival Me in vision or insight? Where is he to be found that O leaders of religion! Weigh not the Book of God with such standards and sciences as are current amongst you, for the Book itself is the unerring balance established amongst men. In this most perfect balance whatsoever the peoples and kindreds of the earth possess must be weighed, while the measure of its weight should be tested according to its own standard, did ye but know it….  dareth to claim to be My equal in utterance or wisdom? No, by My Lord, the All-Merciful! All on the earth shall pass away; and this is the face of your Lord, the Almighty, the Well-Beloved. O concourse of divines! When My verses were sent down, and My clear tokens were revealed, We found you behind the veils. Those divines…who are truly adorned with the ornament of knowledge and of a goodly character are, verily, as a head to the body of the world, and as eyes to the...
