This is the first volume in the highly applauded three-volume "Self Study Notes for The Kitáb-i-Íqán, The Book of Certitude". According to Shoghi Effendi, the Kitáb-i-Íqán, the Book of Certitude, should be mastered by every Bahá'í and those who are interested in Bahá'í Faith.
The Book of Certitude was written by Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. As one of the main spiritual texts given to humanity, it is complex, intricate, and more beautiful each time it is read. With the help of this new self-study guide by Dr. Sohrab Kourosh, engage with the Book of Certitude on a deeper level than ever before. New meanings, connections, and allusions will become clear and lead you down new paths of spiritual study.
Kourosh has compiled a wide range of useful contextual information that identifies more obscure theological, philosophical, and religious terms. He shows the connections to other religious texts and sacred scriptures, and he provides more information about references to historical events.
Kourosh also deciphers the references to other Writings of Baha'u'llah, as well as Writings of the Báb, 'Abdú'l-Bahá, and Shoghi Effendi, which will help illuminate complex passages.
According to the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, spiritual texts are of no benefit if they can't be understood. Shoghi Effendi stated that this book should be thoroughly studied. Use this guide to honor His advice.
