129. the Mother Book # 103 |
|
|
The term “Mother Book” is generally used to designate the
central Book of a religious Dispensation. In the Qur’án and
Islamic Hadíth, the term is used to describe the Qur’án
itself. In the Bábí Dispensation, the Bayán is the Mother
Book, and the Kitáb-i-Aqdas is the Mother Book of the
Dispensation of Bahá’u’lláh. Further, the Guardian in a
letter written on his behalf has stated that this concept can
221
also be used as a “collective term indicating the body of the
Teachings revealed by Bahá’u’lláh”. This term is also used
in a broader sense to signify the Divine Repository of
Revelation.
