Slott (2:16), J. Heath [track 8], J. Heath | The Mother Book of the Bábí Dispensation. Comprising nine vahids (unities) of nineteen chapters or babs (gates)—with the exception of the last unity, which has only ten gates—the greater part of the work was written in the prison of Mákú, but, contrary to some prevalent assumptions, the last parts may have been written in Chihriq, after the Báb was interrogated by the clerics in Tabriz. The Persian Bayán abrogates Islamic laws and traditions and sets down new laws and teachings. However, the various laws are discussed as symbols referring to deep spiritual meanings and vehicles to prepare the people for the advent of Him Whom God shall make manifest. Both the form and content of the book affirm the underlying metaphysics of unity in which all things are manifestations of an inner reality which is the revelation of God within them. | @the Word of God; influence and centrality of, @superiority; incomparability of the Word of God, @return of the Manifestations of God, @transcendence; unknowability of God, @progressive revelation; renewal of religion, @divine unity [tawhid] and degrees of unity, @The Primal Will; self-generation of the Primal Will, @the divine emanation; the all-pervading bounty of God, @the Bab; the Primal Point; station and claims of the Bab, @proofs of the Manifestations of God, @the Imamate; the Caliphate, @names and attributes of God, @He Whom God Shall Make Manifest; the Bab and Baha'u'llah, @inmost heart [fu'ád], @modes; manner; speed; size of divine revelation, @station of the Manifestation of God, @twofold; threefold station of the Manifestation of God, @Islamic rituals; holy days; practices; etc., @rejection, opposition and persecution, @oneness or innumerability of the Manifestations of God, @Word of God the cause of creation, @Word of God is its own standard, @lack of formal education of the Manifestation of God, @Manifestation of God as mirror, @Qur'an and Hadith quotation and interpretation, @Letters of the Living, @Primal Will and the Word; Remembrance; Manifestation of God, @Manifestation of God speaking in the voice of Divinity, @suffering and imprisonment, @the Bayan, its laws and their abrogation, @The Holy Spirit, @purpose; goal of creation, @Manifestation of God as sun, @God's knowledge, @attaining good pleasure of God, @the Twelfth Imam; the Qa'im, @predictions and prophecies, @identity; relationship of Manifestation of God to God, @chastisement and requital, @knowledge; recognition of God, @unity of existence [wahdatu'l-wujud] | 3 | * | - | NSS.045-049, BRHL.59, MSBR.204-205, AHDA.442.1, MMAH.007, SRC.083-084, SRC.181-184, SRC.280, GOH.035, GOH.281-298, GOH.308-338, GPB.025x | see also BB00020, Arabic Bayan |

Presents the essential outlines of the Lesser Peace. Argues that religion is the greatest instrument for achieving true civilization, but warns that it can be diverted to the wrong ends. Rejects the possibility of a secular morality based on an "innate sense of human dignity", since "self-love is kneaded into the very clay of man".

Opens with an exordium on the names and attributes of God, which move "in the firmament of perfection in descending and ascending arcs", and "in the orbits of sanctity and circles of glorification", occupying "spiritual spheres" which are "subtle", "fluid", and "vibrating". Explains that since motion is intrinsic to existence, and this motion must be governed that order and perfection may be maintained, a universal attractive force was brought into being between the "holy and resplendent suns" and their planets and satellites. Emphasizes that the creation of God has no limits. Clarifies that the preceding are "spiritual truths pertaining to the spiritual world" and that material truths can also be inferred from this, for "physical things are signs and imprints of spiritual things". Describes the interconnected and relative nature of "earthly" and "heavenly", "material" and "spiritual", "accidental" and "essential", "particular" and "universal", "foundation" and "structure". States, quoting a Hadith, that particular and universal realities in both the physical and spiritual realms are infinite. Explains that the divine grace is manifested according to capacity, both individually in the human reality and collectively in this new cycle: thus "in this most great manifestation ... the gates of revelation and discovery have been thrown wide open". Clarifies that it is not possible that God's grace should have appeared all at once, but that a gradual and progressive revelation is necessary. Warns that the knowledge and sciences of past ages are "superstitious fancies" compared to those realities which have become unveiled in this Revelation, and so all matters must be weighed in the balance of this Cause. Directs that all things be investigated "in a methodical and scientific way", and that conventional wisdom be rejected, in order "to discover the undisclosed verities and the hidden mysteries, which are concealed in the inmost heart of the universal realities". Reiterates that the discoveries and opinions of earlier philosophers, including those regarding the celestial spheres, were unsound, since it is only in this age that the mathematical sciences have been systematized. Defends the statements of the Prophets about the celestial spheres, that they merely referred to the orbits of the planets. Affirms that the planets move within a subtle, fluid and vibrating substrate, and that "the heavens are a restrained wave because a void is impossible and inconceivable". Rejects the notion that the celestial spheres are solid and glassy. Returns to the topic of the errors of the ancient philosophers, in relation to the orbit of the Earth around the sun: while Pythagoras, Plato and Aristarchus affirmed the correct theory, their opinions were based on presentiment and not on evidence; while most of the sages, including al-Farabi, followed the erroneous theory of Ptolemy (in contradiction to the explicit text of Qur'an 36:38). Reiterates that sound scientific theories are supported by logical proofs and careful observation, as well as being "in conformity with the principles of the universal themes expounded in the divine sciences". Praises the careful observations of Copernicus. Closes with a prayer in praise of God and this Day and asking for steadfastness. | @celestial spheres [aflak]; planets; astronomy, @infinity and eternity, @interconnectedness; all things involved in all things; chain of being, @microcosm and macrocosm ['alam-i-akbar and 'alam-i-asghar], @all things are in motion; kinds of motion, @growth and progress is gradual and according to capacity, @the divine emanation; the all-pervading bounty of God | 1 | * | - | |||
