Description

Epistle to the Son of the Wolf is Bahá’u’lláh’s final major work, revealed around 1891 at the Mansion of Bahjí . Addressed to Shaykh Muhammad‑Taqí‑y‑Najafí — a cleric known for his persecution of the Bahá’ís — the text serves as both admonition and testament. Within its pages, Bahá’u’lláh recounts the history of His revelation, quotes extensively from earlier tablets, and calls the Shaykh to justice, humility, and recognition of divine truth. The work stands as a sweeping spiritual summation of Bahá’u’lláh’s mission, offering readers a final, authoritative window into His teachings, His sufferings, and His vision for humanity’s future.
