Kitab-i Aqdas, the Most Holy Book, 1999, via Bahá'í library online website, August 20, 2015 (Bahá'u'lláh's book of laws and his most important work, dating from the early Akka period. This work is written in Arabic and its Arabic title is al-Kitab al-Aqdas, but it is commonly referred to by its Persian title, Kitab-i-Aqdas, which was given the work by Bahá'u'lláh himself. It is sometimes called "the Aqdas," "the Most Holy Book," "the Book of Laws," and occasionally "the Book of Aqdas." It is also referred to as "the Mother-Book" of the Bahá'í Revelation. The Aqdas is usually stated to have been revealed in the House of ʻUdi Khammar, Akka, in about 1873, a date confirmed by its reference to the fall of Napoleon III. There is some evidence, however, that part at least of the book may have been written even earlier. In the tablet called Ishraqat, a verse of the Aqdas is stated to have been revealed "upon Our arrival in the Prison City" (TB 128, dar awwal-i vurud-i-sijn), which would imply a date perhaps as early as 1868. In another tablet, Bahá'u'lláh states that after completing the Aqdas, he kept it back for some years before releasing a copy (AVK 1:10). Since we know that copies of the Aqdas reached Iran in 1290/1873-74 (AVK 1:11), this would again point to a date a few years before 1873 for its revelation. Thus although the completion of the Aqdas may have occurred in 1873, it seems clear that it was being revealed for several years prior to this.) <http://bahai-library.com/walbridge_encyclopedia_kitab_aqdas> |
