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. | Attaining good pleasure of God; Chastisement and requital; Divine unity [tawhid] and degrees of unity; God's knowledge; He Whom God Shall Make Manifest; the Bab and Baha'u'llah; Identity; relationship of Manifestation of God to God; Inmost heart [fu'ad]; Islamic rituals; holy days; practices; etc.; Knowledge; recognition of God; Lack of formal education of the Manifestation of God; Letters of the Living; Manifestation of God as mirror; Manifestation of God as sun; Manifestation of God speaking in the voice of Divinity; Modes; manner; speed; size of divine revelation; Names and attributes of God; Oneness or innumerability of the Manifestations of God; Predictions and prophecies; Primal Will and the Word; Remembrance; Manifestation of God; Progressive revelation; renewal of religion; Proofs of the Manifestations of God; Purpose; goal of creation; Qur'an and Hadith quotation and interpretation; Rejection, opposition and persecution; Return of the Manifestations of God; Station of the Manifestation of God; Twofold; threefold station of the Manifestation of God; Suffering and imprisonment; Superiority; incomparability of the Word of God; The Bab; the Primal Point; station and claims of the Bab; The Bayan, its laws and their abrogation; The divine emanation; the all-pervading bounty of God; The Holy Spirit; Being a channel for the Holy Spirit in teaching the Cause; The Imamate; the Caliphate; The Twelfth Imam; the Qa'im; The Word of God; influence and centrality of; Transcendence; unknowability of God; Twofold; threefold station of the Manifestation of God; Unity of existence [wahdatu'l-wujud]; Word of God is its own standard; Word of God the cause of creation | * | - | 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 |
