Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas eBook
Bahá'u'lláh
That which is conducive to the regeneration of the
world and the salvation of the peoples and kindreds
of the earth hath been sent down from the heaven of
the utterance of Him Who is the Desire of the world.
Give ye a hearing ear to the counsels of the Pen of
Glory. Better is this for you than all that is
on the earth. Unto this beareth witness My glorious
and wondrous Book.
LAWH-I-ARD-I-BA (TABLET OF THE LAND OF BA)
PRAISE be to Him Who hath honoured the Land of Ba(86)
through the presence of Him round Whom all names revolve.
All the atoms of the earth have announced unto all
created things that from behind the gate of the Prison-city
there hath appeared and above its horizon there hath
shone forth the Orb of the beauty of the great, the
Most Mighty Branch of God—His ancient and
immutable Mystery—proceeding on its way
to another land. Sorrow, thereby, hath enveloped
this Prison-city, whilst another land rejoiceth.
Exalted, immeasurably exalted is our Lord, the Fashioner
of the heavens and the Creator of all things, He through
Whose sovereignty the doors of the prison were opened,
thereby causing what was promised aforetime in the
Tablets to be fulfilled. He is verily potent over
what He willeth, and in His grasp is the dominion
of the entire creation. He is the All-Powerful,
the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
Blessed, doubly blessed, is the ground which His footsteps
have trodden, the eye that hath been cheered by the
beauty of His countenance, the ear that hath been
honoured by hearkening to His call, the heart that
hath tasted the sweetness of His love, the breast
that hath dilated through His remembrance, the pen
that hath voiced His praise, the scroll that hath
borne the testimony of His writings. We beseech
God—blessed and exalted be He—that
He may honour us with meeting Him soon. He is,
in truth, the All-Hearing, the All-Powerful, He Who
is ready to answer.
EXCERPTS FROM OTHER TABLETS
“GOD testifieth that there is none other God but...”
GOD testifieth that there is none other God but Him
and that He Who hath come from the heaven of divine
revelation is the Hidden Secret, the Impenetrable
Mystery, Whose advent hath been foretold in the Book
of God and hath been heralded by His Prophets and
Messengers. Through Him the mysteries have been
unravelled, the veils rent asunder and the signs and
evidences disclosed. Lo! He hath now been
made manifest. He bringeth to light whatsoever
He willeth, and treadeth upon the high places of the
earth, invested with transcendent majesty and power.
Blessed is that strong one who will shatter the gods
of vain imaginings through the potency of the Name
of his Lord, He Who ruleth over all men.
O My Afnan! We would fain mention thy name as
a token of grace on Our part, that the sweet savours
of My remembrance may attract thee unto My Kingdom
and draw thee nigh unto the Tabernacle of My majesty
which hath been hoisted through the power of this
Name—a Name which hath caused every foundation
to tremble.
