RE: Kitab-i-Iqan pgs. 3-4 [letter 7]

[Khazeh Fananapazir]

This is from mighty Tablet addressed through Mirza Abu’l-Fad.l to Manakji Hataria [the Zoroastrian] representative in Iran. It starts on page 148 of Ma’idih ye Asmani As to thy question that in the Religion of Zoroaster it is stated: "This (Zoroastrianism) is superior and better than the religions of the past." By this is meant superiority relative to the past. These sanctified Beings in one station are all one. Their first is the last and Their last is the first. All have come from God; all have summoned mankind to God, and all have returned to Him. These matters are revealed in the Kitáb-i-Íqán, which is in truth the Lord of Books [Sayyid-i-Kutub], the Book that has flowed from the Pen of the Most High. Blessed is the one who hath seen it and been a witness to its testimony and hath pondered its contents for the love of God, the Lord of mankind.
