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 |
