Lawḥ-i-Siráj
The Lawh-i-Siráj, provisionally translated as Tablet of the Luminary, is a Persian Tablet of Bahá’u’lláh revealed in Adrianople. It has been partially translated by Shoghi Effendi.
Subject[edit]
The Tablet is a long refutation of several misrepresentations of Bahá’u’lláh made by Mírzá Yaḥyá and his followers.[1] It also explains the reasoning for why the Báb appointed Yaḥyá to a high position in the Bábí community and addressed him with several titles while Bahá’u’lláh condemned him in several Tablets.[2]
History[edit]
The Tablet was revealed for Mullá 'Alí-Muhammad-i-Siráj of Isfahan, the brother of the second wife of the Báb, who asked Bahá’u’lláh about the station of Mírzá Yaḥyá and his followers. Siráj was a follower of Yaḥyá and remained a follower after receiving the Tablet.[1] Stephen Lambden has speculated that it was likely revealed in 1867 between May and July.[3]
