Nabil [the author of the Dawn-Breakers] was “a participant in some of the scenes which he recites”

Nabil-i-A'zam

Nabíl, himself a participant in some of the scenes which he recites, took up his lonely pen to recite the truth about men and women so mercilessly persecuted and a movement so grievously traduced. 

- Shoghi Effendi  (‘Introduction to ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
