مقام ديگر مقام تفصيل و عالم خلق و رتبه حدودات بشريّه است در اين مقام هر کدام را هيکلی معيّن و امری مقرّر و ظهوری مقدّرو حدودی مخصوص است چنانچه هر کدام باسمی موسوم و بوصفی موصوف وبامری بديع و شرعی جديد مأمورند چنانچه ميفرمايد: ﴿تِلکَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلىَ بَعْضٍ مِنهُمْ مَنْ کَلَّم اللّهُ وَرَفَعَ بَعضَهُمْ دَرَجَاتٍ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَی ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ البَيّنَاتِ وَأيَّدنَاهُ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The other station is the station of distinction, and pertaineth to the world of creation, and to the limitations thereof. In this respect, each Manifestation of God hath a distinct individuality, a definitely prescribed mission, a predestined revelation, and specially designated limitations. Each one of them is known by a different name, is characterized by a special attribute, fulfills a definite mission, and is entrusted with a particular Revelation. Even as He saith: “Some of the Apostles We have caused to excel the others. To some God hath spoken, some He hath raised and exalted. And to Jesus, Son of Mary, We gave manifest signs, and We strengthened Him with the Holy Spirit.”
