Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas
Bahá'u'lláh
Bahai Faith -- Doctrines
In such manner hath the Kitáb-i-Aqdas been revealed that it attracteth and
embraceth all the divinely appointed Dispensations. Blessed those who
peruse it. Blessed those who apprehend it. Blessed those who meditate upon
it. Blessed those who ponder its meaning. So vast is its range that it
hath encompassed all men ere their recognition of it. Ere long will its
sovereign power, its pervasive influence and the greatness of its might be
manifested on earth. Verily, thy God is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
O My Name! Hearken thou unto My Voice coming from the direction of My
Throne. He wisheth to make mention of thy name at all times inasmuch as
thou hast proved thyself steadfast in extolling His virtues amongst men.
Indeed thy Lord loveth fidelity as found in the realm of creation, and He
hath given it precedence over most of the praiseworthy qualities. Verily,
He is Potent and Powerful.
Know thou moreover that We have heard the praise thou hast uttered in thy
communion with God, thy Lord, the Exalted, the Gracious. Great indeed is
the blessedness awaiting thee, inasmuch as thou hast curtailed thine own
affairs in favour of this inviolable, this mighty and enlightened Cause.
We entreat God to make thy call a magnet which will attract the
embodiments of names in the world of existence that all beings may
spontaneously hasten to heed it. No God is there besides Him, the Exalted,
the Pre-Eminent, the Ever-Blessed, the Sublime, the Most August, the Most
Glorious, the Most Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
LAWḤ-I-BURHÁN (TABLET OF THE PROOF)
_This Tablet was revealed after the martyrdom of the King of
Martyrs and the Beloved of Martyrs (see God Passes By pages
200–201) and was addressed to Shaykh Muḥammad Báqir, denounced by
Bahá’u’lláh as the ‘Wolf’. In this Tablet Bahá’u’lláh refers to
Mír Muḥammad Ḥusayn, the Imám Jum’ih of Iṣfáhán, surnamed the
‘She-Serpent’, who was Shaykh Muḥammad Báqir’s accomplice in the
persecution of the Bahá’ís. (See God Passes By, pages 198, 200–201
and 219). The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf was addressed to
Shaykh Muḥammad Taqíy-i-Najafí, the son of Shaykh Muḥammad Báqir._
