Bayán
Scripture in Bábism, written by the Báb around 1848
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Bábism, Bayán (Arabic: بیان), or exposition, denotes the whole body of the works of the Báb. It also refers more specifically to a set of two books written by the Báb around 1848:
- Persian Bayán, written in Persian
- Arabic Bayán, written in Arabic[1][2]
Some modern Bábís (followers of the Báb) call themselves 'Bayaní' after this title of the Báb's writings.[3] Baháʼís also see the Bayán as holy, since they consider their founder, Baháʼu'lláh, to be the fulfillment of the Báb's main prophecy.
