Gems of Divine Mysteries

by Bahá'u'lláh

"Gems of Divine Mysteries" by Bahá'u'lláh is a lengthy Arabic epistle written during his time in Baghdad between 1853-1863. Composed in response to a religious leader's question about the transformation of the Promised One, the work explores profound spiritual themes including the rejection of prophets, the dangers of literal scripture interpretation, the continuity of divine revelation, and the meaning of concepts like resurrection and judgment. Written and delivered in a single day, it contains intimations of Bahá'u'lláh's approaching declaration.
