Baha’u’llah and the New Era

CHAPTER 11: VARIOUS ORDINANCES AND TEACHINGS
27/40

Consequently it is certain that those who are near the Divine Court are allowed to intercede, and this intercession is approved by God....
It is even possible that the condition of those who have died in sin and unbelief may become changed; that is to say, they may become the object of pardon through the bounty of God, not through His justice; for bounty if giving without desert, and justice is giving what is deserved.

As we have the power to pray for these souls here, so likewise we shall possess the same power in the other world, which is the Kingdom of God....

Therefore in that world also they can make progress.

As here they can receive light by their supplications, there also they can plead for forgiveness, and receive light through entreaties and supplications.
Both before and after putting off this material form, there is progress in perfection, but not in state....

There is no other being higher than a perfect man.
