Stuff That Bab Wrote

There is so much that Bab wrote in his Bayan – which offers an insight into his mind, his thought process…

Incidentally the Bayan was an incomplete “revelation” (if one can call it that. Or lets see what Bahais call it after reading this article). It remained in force for about 7 years – the shortest “revelation” ever till it was abrogated by Bahaullah. The Bahais claimed that the Babi Faith abrogated Islam. How it did that is still a matter of question considering that the words of the Bab probably never even left the shores of Iran leave alone the Asian hemisphere. How could it have abroagated Islam, a religion which by then was a world religion with adherents all over the globe.

Nevertheless, the topic for discussion is the Bayan. The following article shows what what revealed in the Bayan. How much sense did it actually make. And whether any self respecting Bahai will still call it a revelation from God. Incidentally Bahaullah does.

Here goes.

The Bab and his book, Bayan hold a special importance for Bahai’s. This is what Bahaullah says about the book of Bayan:
Refer to it, for a letter from it will suffice the entirety of the people of the earth. And surely God has stated all things in the evident book.
Asad-Allah Fazil Mazandarani, Asrar al-athar khususi, vol. 2, p. 102

huh?

He also says:
I [swear by] He who in His hand is my soul and my essence, a single letter from the Bayan is dearer to me than everything that is in the heavens and the earth.
Asad-Allah Fazil Mazandarani, Asrar al-athar khususi, vol. 5, p. 333

Really, I doubt if Bahaullah actually read the Bayan!
