Translations

Súriy-i-Qamíṣ

From Bahaipedia
Jump to:navigation, search

Súriy-i-Qamíṣ, provisionally translated as Surah of the Garment, is a Tablet revealed by Bahá'u'lláh. It has not yet been officially translated, but a provisional translation exists.

Bahá'í scholar Stephen Lambden characterizes the Tablet as proclaiming Bahá'u'lláh's exalted status. He interprets the Tablet as containing many indications that Bahá'u'lláh is the One predicted by the Báb, 'He whom God shall make manifest', and other scriptures, and as identifying Bahá'u'lláh as the personification of a divine Book coming down from the heavens with new knowledge.

Lambden writes that the Tablet draws on the imagery of the Qayyúmu'l-Asmá', a notable Tablet of the Báb, and outlines that its predictions are fulfilled in the theophany of Bahá'u'lláh. Lambden also states that the Tablet instructs humanity to listen to the melodies of God which were to come forth from the "land of Saffron", which Lambden interprets as an allusion to Adrianople.

Lambden notes that the Tablet is addressed to humanity, but the latter portion contains passages addressed to individual Babis and concludes with a lengthy prayer.
