A selection of essays, articles and resource materials which further explore the life of the Báb and His mission.
Writings of the Báb
From the Persian Bayán
In this volume—written near the end of 1847 or the beginning of 1848—the Báb presented the essential elements of His religious laws and concepts, and anticipated the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh.
From an Epistle to Muhammad Shah
In this letter, the Báb challenged the Shah of Iran to reflect on the treatment which He had received and the nature of His mission.
From the Qayyúmu’l-Asmá
Originally regarded as the “Qur’an’ of the Bábís”, this volume was revealed by the Báb at the start of His ministry and established His Writings to be “new verses from God”. Bahá’u’lláh described the Qayyúmu’l-Asmá as “the first, the greatest and mightiest of all books”.
