  1. 2025-07. Evidences of Bahá'u'lláh's Theophanic Awakening and Disclosure before His Síyáh-Chál Experience. Bijan Ma'sumian, Adib Masumian. While the Síyáh-Chál was the birthplace of Bahá’u’lláh's mission, his awakening to his divine station might have gone through multiple stages, with his experience in the prison being the culmination of that process; some recognized his station earlier. Articles.
  2. 2023. Mi'ráj in Select Shaykhí, Bábí, and Bahá'í Texts, The. Sholeh A. Quinn. The ascension of the Prophet Muhammad to heaven, and commentary on its meanings by religious leaders associated with the the Shaykhí, Bábí, and Bahá'í movements. Link to article (offsite). Articles.
  3. 1992. Immanence and Transcendence in Theophanic Symbolism. Michael W. Sours. Bahá'u'lláh uses symbols to depict theophanies — the appearance of God and the divine in the realm of creation — such as "angel," "fire," and the prophets' claims to be incarnating the "face" or "voice" of God; these convey the transcendence of God. Articles.
  4. 1991. Baha'u'llah as 'World Reformer'. Christopher Buck. This article places Bahá'u'lláh in the context of Islamic reform by comparing him to several contemporary Iranian reformers. Bahá'u'lláh prosecuted his proposed reforms in three stages: (1) Bábí reform; (2) Persian reform; and (3) world reform. Articles.
  5. 1914. Reconciliation of Races and Religions, The. Thomas Kelly Cheyne. Early history of the Bábí and Bahá'í movements, life stories of their participants, and their contemporary religious context, written by a distinguished British Biblical scholar. Books.
