Author of the Bayan
Our study group read a selection from the Bayan which seems to imply Baha'u'llah wrote that Book through the Bab: "And know thou of a certainty that every letter revealed in the Bayan is solely intended to evoke submission unto Him Whom God shall make manifest, for it is He Who hath revealed th...

Dear Jennifer: Welcome back, and welcome home. Your story is quite moving, but unfortunately not a gasping surprise. Jonah and iranpour left wonderful responses.

Qur'an and women's rights
We have heard that women were granted certain rights in the Qur'an, including the right to inherit and own property, and the right to choose their husband. The rights of inheritance and ownership have been found, but not the choosing of a husband. Any one know where this is? Searched in Ocean under ...

Equality of Men and Women in the Bab's Writings

Does it? If so, where might it be found? Also, where does the Báb say for women to remove the veil? ...

Need obscure historical details
Dear Friends; Sources say Tahirih was martyred while Baha'u'llah was in the Siyyah-Chal. Does anyone have something more specific, like in the first week after the attempt on the Shah, or two months later? Here's another one. In "Abdu'l-Baha in London," p. 115, the Master states about 70 d...
