Súriy-i-'Ibád
Súriy-i-'Ibád, provisionally translated as Súrih of the Servants, is an Arabic Tablet revealed by Bahá’u’lláh in Adrianople. A portion has been officially translated by Shoghi Effendi and included in Gleanings.
Background[edit]
Adib Taherzadeh places the revelation of this Tablet early in the Adrianople period, and notes that it describes Bahá’u’lláh's exile from Baghdad and addresses the Bahá’ís of Iraq including some individuals specifically, calling for rectitude of conduct, steadfastness, and unity among the community.[1]
Stephen Lambden suggests that it may be the earliest Tablet revealed in Adrianople, and notes that it uses al-Badī` as the name of God, which is reportedly the 95th Name of God enumerated by Muhammad.[2]
It was revealed in honor of Siyyid Mihdíy-i-Dahají, a Bahá'í travel teacher who became caretaker of the House of Bahá’u’lláh after Bahá’u’lláh's exile.[3]
