| Summary |
"The Kitáb-i-Íqán" by Bahá'u'lláh is a religious text written in the mid-19th century. The work addresses fundamental questions about the nature of faith, the recognition of divine manifestations, and the historical patterns of denial and acceptance faced by prophets throughout the ages. At the start of the book, the author emphasizes the necessity of detachment from worldly concerns in the pursuit of true understanding and divine knowledge. He reflects on the consistent pattern of opposition faced by prophets such as Noah, Moses, and Jesus, detailing the spiritual significance of their experiences and the reactions of their contemporaries. This introduction serves to underscore the challenges of recognizing divine revelation amid societal expectations and entrenched beliefs, setting the stage for Bahá'u'lláh’s exploration of the unity of all religious teachings and the role of the Manifestations of God.
