Writings of Bahá'ú'lláh - Knowledge (XXG)

471:

Bahá’ú’lláh's revival of the Bábí community and his position as leader were his writings, His diverse style including obscure language as used by many of the Bábís, clear and assertive religious poetry, and direct, coherent prose. A considerable number of his writings consisted of letters addressed to individuals which were guaranteed a wide distribution by copyists. Whilst much of his output clarified new elements in regard to Bábí tradition, a major theme during this period was Bahá’ú’lláh's awareness of the divine presence, the significance of which he had first become aware during his four months of imprisonment in the Síyáh-Chál in Tehran. Of particular note in these writings is the Bábí-Baháʼí understanding of God's messengers, referred to as the Manifestations of God, Bahá’ú’lláh stressing their underlying unity and the continuity of divine revelation. A number of Bahá’ú’lláh's writings from this period demonstrate a knowledge of sections of the Bible which, in conjunction with his defence of Jews and Christians from a Muslim assertion that they had falsely altered Muslim scriptures, were extremely uncommon in nineteenth-century Muslim writing. Writings from this period include:

Bahá’ú'lláh's words as overwhelming and said Bahá’ú'lláh spoke so rapidly that Mírzá Áqá Ján sometimes had difficulty keeping up. Sometimes Bahá’ú'lláh uttered over 1000 verses in less than an hour without any apparent forethought, and on occasion during the early years this continued over extended periods lasting day and night, often involving visionary experiences. In order to copy down everything that Bahá’ú'lláh said at these times, Mírzá Áqá Ján developed his own style of speed writing. After, a clear version was prepared, forming the basis of a formal copy to be given to the recipient. When texts were assigned to individuals in Persia they were often sent to a copyist linked together on one document, and then re-copied as separate items. The abundance of hand copied texts undoubtedly accounts for the fact that Bahá’ú'lláh's writings, either in the original or in trusted transcriptions, have survived for posterity.

1085:, covering various aspects including an explanation of the principle of infallibility, a discussion of personal virtues, specifically trustworthiness, explains the authority pertaining to the Manifestations of God, and lists the nine Ishraqs (splendors), being: religion as the means of all human prosperity and progress; promotion of the ‘Lesser Peace’ by the rulers of the world; obedience to God's commandments; importance of upright character and performance of deeds of service; governments to rule with justice and equity; establishment of a universal language in order to bring unity to all mankind: education of children and important state of parenthood; responsibilities for the well-being of humankind given to the House of Justice; religion the most powerful instrument in establishing world unity. 1121:, constituting fifteen headings: the abolition of holy war, fellowship with the followers of all religions, adoption of a universal auxiliary language, obligation to serve just monarchs, obedience to government, establishment of the ‘Lesser Peace’, freedom in choice of clothing and facial hair, abandonment of monasticism, instead focusing on work for the betterment of humanity, abrogation of the Báb's law concerning the destruction of books, promotion of the study of arts and sciences, engagement in an occupation given the status of worship, entrusting the affairs of the people to the Universal House of Justice, abrogates the requirement of making special journeys to visit the graves of the dead, and commends a combination of a 777:, a book written in reply to questions from the judge of the Persian community in Istanbul concerning Baháʼu’lláh's claim to be the successor to the Bab, thus taking Mirza Yahya's place as head of the community. The judge noted that the Bab's intention had been to leave the completion of the Persian Bayan to ‘He whom God shall make manifest’, Baháʼu’lláh informing him that the Kitab-i-Iqan was its completion. Reference is made Mirza Yahya's treachery and rebelliousness, countering his claim that the Bab had given a position of authority. 1216:, Baháʼu'lláh's last major work, and third longest, addressed to the son of a prominent Shi’ite mulla in Shiraz who was known for his brutal persecution of the Baháʼís, and whose treatment of the Baháʼís was as merciless as that of his father. Baháʼu'lláh warns him regarding the consequences of his deeds, reveals for him a prayer through which to implore forgiveness, and shares with him a long summary of his principal teachings, quoting extensively from his own previous writings using slightly different wording from the original. 1103:, reiterates many of Baháʼu'lláh's social teachings including detachment from worldly desires, living a virtuous life, avoidance of contention and conflict, observance of courtesy, promotion of fellowship among all peoples and association with people of all religions, promotion of the Lesser Peace, adoption of a universal language and the universal education of children, the establishment of a constitutional government and recognition of the importance of agriculture. 1031:, one of the co-founders of the German Templer society and head of the community in Haifa, inviting him to ponder the ascendancy and sweetness of the word of God through which those who are abased are enabled to be exalted and vice versa. Baháʼu'lláh also uses the science of letters and their numerical values in order to explain the significance of specific names, and stresses that he and Hardegg are stirred by the same divine spirit. 1097:, setting out the teachings necessary for establishing world peace, including universal education, justice, unity, wisdom, moderation, consultation, service to the human race, the need for the rulers of the world to lay the foundations for the ‘Lesser Peace’, the establishment of a universal script and language, and respect for the power of human utterance, specifically he Word of God, the ‘master key for the whole world’. 1091:, announcing eleven ‘leaves of paradise’: fear of God; upholding the cause of religion; the golden rule; that rulers possess good character and practice justice, in contrast to Muḥammad Sháh; the importance of wisdom and its connection to reward and punishment; justice; unity of mankind; training and education of children; moderation; renouncing monasticism and asceticism; avoidance of religious strife and dissension. 993:. In this second tablet to the Ottoman Prime Minister ‘All Pasha, Baháʼu'lláh admonishes him for his cruelty and for his treatment of the Bahá’ís imprisoned in the citadel of ‘Akká, warning him of the impermanence of his worldly power. Baháʼu'lláh also reminds him of his previous Tablet sent whilst travelling to Akka from Edirne, in which he had requested a personal meeting with him, which never materialised. 456:, his reason being "to avoid becoming a subject of discord among the faithful, a source of disturbance unto Our companions, the means of injury to any soul, or the cause of sorrow to any heart." During Bahá’ú’lláh's two year withdrawal to Sulaymaniya he became aware of the nature of his mission, which he expressed through poems, prayers and meditations, a few of which survived, including: 1115:, comprising six headings relating to qualities which every individual should aim to achieve: knowledge of self and acquisition of a useful profession, fellowship with the followers of all religions, striving for a good character, practice of trustworthiness, importance of craftsmanship, acquisition of knowledge, and the importance of fairness and honesty in newspaper reporting. 33: 922:. The two groups, along with an armed escort, left Edirne together on 12 August 1868, with Baháʼu’lláh and his group arriving at ‘Akká by sea on 31 August. Conditions in the barracks-citadel during the first two years were atrocious, easing when in November 1870 the prisoners were moved to confinement in the city. As a result of the overthrow of 1210:, written during a visit to Mount Carmel in the style of a dialogue between Baháʼu'lláh and the mountain, in which he invites it to celebrate the fact that God had established his throne upon it; this is regarded as a prophecy predicting the building of the Shrine of the Báb and creation of the Baháʼí World Centre and Universal House of Justice. 1294:, a former Baháʼí, has offered a literary appraisal of the writings of Baháʼu'lláh. He writes that Baháʼu'lláh's poetic works "are written in an elegant yet uncomplicated style and possess considerable freshness". Likewise, he writes that several of Baháʼu'lláh's early writings in prose "are of real literary merit", for instance that the 1226:, the Most Great Branch, as His successor, and clarified that where in earlier works he alluded to ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, it was to ʻAbdu'l-Bahá that he was referring. Consequently, when on 28 May 1892 Baháʼu'lláh passed away the will was read publicly, there was no initial uncertainty as to whom the believers should turn to. 436:

It consists of two collections, one in Arabic, one in Persian, of mystical and ethical aphorisms. which Bahá’ú’lláh declared had descended from the divine world, completing the revelations of God's previous messengers. 1003:.
