2. Since when did Bab become the Prophet herald of Bahaullah, when during his lifetime he claimed to be the door to Imam Mehdi (pbuh)?

3. If Bab was the forerunner for Bahaullah, then why did he appoint Bahaullah’s brother as his successor and not Bahaullah?

4. Why did Bab’s successor and most of the special companions of Bab (Huruf-e-Hayy) not accept Bahaullah’s claims?
