Abstract	The article is devoted to one of the most mystical and fairly early writings of the founder of the Babi Faith, the Bab’s Commentary on the Surih “al-Kawthar”. Though the latter consists of four lines only, the Commentary being over two hundred pages long on top of interpreting every letter of the words comprising the Surih in their manifold aspects also treats some fundamental religious issues such as “the hidden imam”, “the divine proof”, the nature of divine verses as signs from God etc. The book is full of imagery while the mission of the bearer of a new religious revelation which the Bab claimed for himself is indicated by special symbolism employed by the founder of the Bábí Faith in this book. The study is based on the text of a very early manuscript which originated during the Báb’s life-time.
