Kitáb-i-Aqdas

Notes

 

  1. We perceive that which secretly and stealthily diffuseth from thee.   ¶164

    This passage is a reference to the intrigues of a group of Azalís, followers of Mírzá Yahyá (see note 190), associated with the city of Kirmán. They include Mullá Ja'far, his son Shaykh Ahmad-i-Ruhí and Mírzá Áqá Khán-i-Kirmání (both sons-in-law of Mírzá Yahyá), as well as Mírzí Ahmad-i-Kirmání. They not only sought to undermine the Faith, but involved themselves in political intrigues which culminated in the assassination of Násiri'd-Dín Sháh.
