əhaullahın yazıları arasında “Kitabi-Əqdəs” müstəsna əhəmiyyətə malikdir. “KitabiƏqdəs”in qanunları üç sahəni əhatə edir: insanın Allahla əlaqəsi; bəşəriyyətin rifahı ilə bağlı həyatın maddi və mənəvi tərəfləri; insan və cəmiyyət arasındakı əlaqə. “Kitabi-Əqdəs”də ayrı-ayrı dövlət başçılarına və millətlərə ünvanlanmış mesaj və tövsiyələr də yer almışdır. Bunlar aşağıdakılardan ibarətdir: Amerika qitəsinin respublika başçılarına ədalət uğrunda ayağa qalxmağa çağırış; ümumdünya yazı və beynəlxalq dilin yaradılması ilə bağlı dünya başçılarına tövsiyə; I Vilhelmə etdiyi xəbərdarlıqlar; Avstriya imperatoru Frans İosifi qınaması; “Reyn sahillərinə”də (Almaniyaya) müraciətində “Berlin fəryadı”nın (iki dünya müharibəsində Almaniyanın məğlubiyyətinə işarə) qeyd edilməsi; İstanbulda ucaldılmış “istibdad taxtını” qınaması və “xarici əzəmətini” itirməsi və sakinlərinin başına gələcək çətinliklər haqqında peyğəmbərliyi; doğma şəhəri Tehrana müraciət edərək, Allahın onu “bütün bəşəriyyət üçün sevinc mənbəyi” seçdiyini söyləməsi

SUMMARY

Among the writings of Bahá’u’lláh, The Holy Book «Kitabi-i-Aqdas» has a exceptional importance. The Laws of the Holy « Kitabi-i-Aqdas « cover three areas: man’s attitude toward God; material and spiritual aspects of life related to the prosperity of mankind; the relationship between 27 man and society. Messages and recommendations addressed to individual heads of state and nations also have found their place in Kitab-i-Aqdas. These include: a call to the leaders of the American continent to stand up for justice; recommendation to world leaders on the creation of a universal writing and international language; Warnings to William 1st, winner of Napoleon 3rd; Condemnation of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph; Mentioning the «Berlin Scream» in his appeal to the «Rhine Coast» (Germany); Condemnation of the «throne of tyranny» erected in Istanbul and the loss of its «exterior splendor» and prophecy about the difficulties that will befall its inhabitants; addressing his hometown of Tehran, saying that God had chosen the town as «a source of joy for all mankind.»
