Kitáb-i-Aqdas

Its only dogma is belief in God and in his manifestations, Zoroaster, Moses, Jesus, etc., Bahá'u'lláh.

The principal works of Bahá'u'lláh are the Kitáb-ul-Íqán, the Kitáb-ul-Aqdas, and Kitáb-ul-Ahd, and numerous letters or tablets addressed to sovereigns or private individuals.

Ritual holds no place in the religion, which must be expressed in all the actions of life and accomplished in neighbourly love.

Everyone must have an occupation.

One of the great steps towards universal peace would be the establishment of a universal language.

Bahá'u'lláh commands that the servants of humanity should meet together and either choose a language which now exists or form a new one.

This was revealed in the Kitáb-ul-Aqdas, the Book of Laws, forty years ago.

It is there pointed out that the question of the diversity of tongues is a very difficult one.

Overlooking the falsehood and sheer calumny of this statement, it is a proof of his lack of information regarding the laws and ordinances of the Baha'i faith.

He is likewise ignorant of what has been explicitly revealed in the Book of Laws, Kitab al-Aqdas, concerning the organization of a House of Justice in every city of the world, the members of which, according to the conditions stated in the book, shall be elected by the people.

Such members must hold their consultations in the utmost purity of conscience and goodwill.

Moreover, in the Glad Tidings, which is one of the well-known tablets of this Most Great Manifestation, the substance of the last paragraph is as follows, quote, Although a republican form of government profits all the people of the world, yet the majesty of kingship is one of the signs of God.

Inasmuch as the original tablet is not at hand, the substance thereof is mentioned.

If a reference be made to the tablet of the Glad Tidings, which should be considered from all standpoints as to the beauty of expression in the heavenly utterances, surely the reader will exclaim, Blessed be God, the Most Excellent of Creators.

In one of the long tablets which is considered accessory to the Kitab al-Aqdas, he has illustrated the form of constitutional government and representative assembly by the British government.

The form of that great government has therefore met with his approval and sanction.

Its only dogma is belief in God and in His manifestations, Zoroaster, Moses, Jesus, etc., Bahá'u'lláh.

God, He told them, has made all men the drops of one sea and the leaves of one tree and all races pure.

Note thus we find in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, page twenty-eight, Bombay edition: God has withdrawn the order of impurity from all things and foreign peoples.

It is a favor of God who is in reality the Pardoner, the Benevolent One.

Everything was plunged in the sea of purity in the early days of the Ridván where we were transfigured above the universe by our glorified names and our supreme attributes.
