The Kitáb‑i‑Íqán is one of the central doctrinal works of the Bahá’í Faith, revealed by Bahá’u’lláh in Baghdad in response to profound theological questions posed by a relative of the Báb. In this treatise, Bahá’u’lláh explains the nature of divine revelation, the continuity of the world’s religions, and the symbolic language of sacred scripture. Through luminous argument and poetic clarity, He unveils the principles that govern spiritual interpretation, the recognition of God’s messengers, and the unfolding of humanity’s collective destiny. Today, the Íqán stands as a foundational text for understanding Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings, offering readers a sweeping vision of unity, renewal, and the certitude born of spiritual insight.
