notes: Bahá’u’lláh’s most important doctrinal work, written in January 1861.

From bahai.org/library:
"A treatise revealed by Bahá’u’lláh in Baghdad in 1861/62 in response to questions posed by one of the maternal uncles of the Báb, translated by Shoghi Effendi and first published in English in 1931"

See also: A Description of the Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude by Shoghi Effendi (extract from God Passes By).

"... all the Scriptures and the mysteries thereof are condensed into this brief account. So much so, that were a person to ponder it a while in his heart, he would discover from all that hath been said the mysteries of the Words of God ..."
– Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Íqán, ¶ 266.

"... is not the object of every Revelation to effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a transformation that shall manifest itself, both outwardly and inwardly, that shall affect both its inner life and external conditions? ..."
– Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Íqán, ¶ 270.

"... This theme hath been set forth in the Book of Certitude, which is indeed the cynosure of all books ... Blessed is he that hath beheld it and pondered its contents for the love of God, the Lord of creation." – Bahá'u'lláh, The Tabernacle of Unity, paragraph 2.45)

"... Well may it be claimed that of all the books revealed by the Author of the Bahá’í Revelation, this Book alone, by sweeping away the age-long barriers that have so insurmountably separated the great religions of the world, has laid down a broad and unassailable foundation for the complete and permanent reconciliation of their followers."
– Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, pp.138-139.

Note that originally this book was known as Risáliy-i-Khál (Epistle to the Uncle), but later Bahá'u'lláh designated it as the Kitáb-i-Íqán. (Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh, volume 1, p. 158).
