Dumb-Bab

“Bab”

HAJI: Then honor is not rendered without reason. O dumb in the realms of words and dumb in the realms of ideas, what virtue do you then possess?

Bab: I can recite eloquent words.

“Praise be to God who created the heavens” (pronouncing the last word with final fat-ha).

The Prince: (smiling) That which forms its plural in Alif and Taa is pointed with Kasra alike in the objective and dependant cases.

Bab: ‘My name Ali Mohammed corresponds with “Rabb” (Lord)’

(The sum of the letters in Ali Mohammed is 202 which is also the numerical equivalent of Rabb)

HAJI: Every Ali Mohammed and Mohammed Ali corresponds to Rabb. Besides then in that case you should claim to be the Lord, rather than the Bab.

Bab: I am that person for whose appearance you have waited a 1,000 years.

HAJI: That is to say, you are Mahdi, the Lord of the Religion?

Bab: Yes.

HAJI: The same in person, or generically?

Bab: In person.

HAJI: What is your name and what is the names of your father and mother? Where is your birthplace and how old are you?

Bab: My name is Ali Mohammed; my mother was named Khadija, and my father Mirza Reza the cloth seller; my birth-place is Shiraz; and of my life behold, 35 years have passed.

HAJI: The name of the Lord of the Religion is Mohammed; his father was named Hassan and his mother Narjis; his birthplace was Samarrah; and his age is more than 1,000 years. There is the most complete variance.

HAJI: And besides I did not send you.

Bab: Do you claim to be God?

HAJI: Such an Imam is worthy of such a God.

Bab: I can in one day write 2,000 verses. Who else can do this?

HAJI: When I resided at the Supreme Shrines, I had a secretary who used to write 2,000 verses a day. Eventually he became blind. You must certainly give up this occupation, or else you too will go blind.

The conference then broke up, and the Báb was taken back to the house of Muhammad Kazim Khan.

This is the final nail in the coffin! Bab’s claims and prophecies revolved around the Mehdi. He claimed to be the Bab to the Mehdi (the 12th Shiite Imam), and now had upgraded his claim to being the Mehdi himself. He never announced that he was the forerunner of Bahaullah as claimed by the Baha’is!

What this debate, if we may call it one, proves that Bab was but a mere pawn on the board for the powers of that era, who were moving him around for their machinations against Islam. Hopefully, this should open the eyes of those who have been sucked into Bab’s vitreous claims.
