Bayan-i-Arabi (Arabic Bayan)
|
A condensed form of the Persian Bayán, written in the language of divine verses. While much shorter in length than the Persian Bayán, the Arabic Bayán contains eleven full unities, whereas the Persian Bayán ends with gate 10 of the ninth unity. The parts of the Arabic Bayán that are not matched by the Persian Bayán (from gate 11 of the ninth unity to the end of the eleventh unity) were written after the Persian Bayán was completed. This work is sometimes assumed to have been written before the Persian Bayán for the simple reason that it seems as if the latter is an elaboration of the former. In reality, however, like the Persian Bayán, most of the Arabic Bayán was written in Mákú, although the last sections may have been written in Chihriq.

Kitáb-i-Aqdas (Most Holy Book)
|
The ‘mother book’ of the Bahá’í Dispensation, announcing to the kings of the earth the promulgation of the ‘Most Great Law’; formally ordaining the institution of the House of Justice; prescribing the obligatory prayers; designating the time and period of fasting; formulating laws surrounding marriage and inheritance; ordaining the institution of the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár (houses of worship); establishing the Nineteen Day Feasts; abolishing the institution of priesthood; and specifying punishments for murder, arson, adultery, and theft. Apart from these laws, He reminds his followers of the twin duties of recognition and obedience; exhorts them to fellowship with the adherents of all religions; warns them to guard against fanaticism, sedition, pride, dispute, and contention; enjoins on them cleanliness, truthfulness, chastity, hospitality, fidelity, courtesy, forbearance, justice, and fairness; and counsels them to be ‘even as the fingers of one hand and the limbs of one body’.

Kalimat-i-Maknunih (Hidden Words)

The Persian portion of His foremost ethical work, consisting of 82 aphorisms spoken in the voice of the Divine and declaring themselves to be the ‘inner essence’ of what was revealed to ‘the Prophets of old’, affirming the essential nobility and divinity of the human soul, prescribing its intimate communion with its Creator, proclaiming the oneness of the human race, and declaring our consequent responsibility to fellowship, love, fair-mindedness, and mutual aid for one another, especially the poor and downtrodden.
