Unfortunately, the manner by which he has joined these verses together has made many of his sentences meaningless or vague and translating some of these words into something that makes any sense at all, is very difficult. Those who have tried to translate these verses have usually altered some parts to make something meaningful out of them.

In the following table, we have shown which parts of the Quran he has used to create the first statements of the first page of the Qayyum al- Asma’. The copied sections have been highlighted.

Table 1:

Table II

The same trend is followed more or less throughout the book with exact or very similar replicas of whole verses being used in every page. There are multiple ways to convey a message using many different words and their combinations. Why insist on using exact replicas of the Quran and insist they are new revelations?

Now let us read all these phrases side-by-side to see if they make any sense:

All praise is to God who descended the Book unto His servant with truth so that he may be for the worlds a blazing lamp.

This is truly an exalted path with your Lord that has been straight above the Upright Truth in the Mother Book. He is exalted in the Mother Book that is with us and He is above the most great truth and he possessed wisdom in the presence of the Merciful. And it is a truth from God and in accordance with the pure religion. It was in the Mother Book inscribed near mount Sinai. This is verily the truth, the path of God in the skies and earth. Whoso wishes may take a path to God by the truth. This is verily the upright religion and God and he who possess the knowledge of the Book suffice as witnesses.

Say I do not ask you for a reward, for it is present with my Lord in the Mother Book. This is truly and above truth existant. My reward (will be given to me) by God, with the truth and above the truth. This has been ordained in the Day of Beginning. God and His angels send blessings on the Prophet and his family. Oh you who believe, send blessings on them like how God sent blessings on them and their followers. He is God who is truly witness to all things and He is God who encompasses all things.

These words don’t make much sense and are very similar to Sufi and mystic cult language designed to confuse the reader and create artificial esoteric sensations in them. The sentences usually do not convey a clear message and when they do, they are out of context and mostly unrelated to each other.

Another point that must be mentioned here is the fact that this book (commentary on the Surah of Joseph) was meant to be a commentary. A commentary is a series of explanatory notes which make clear the meanings of a sentence and remove any ambiguity therein. What the Bab has done is the exact opposite, not only has he not made the verses of the Surah Yusuf clear, for every verse he has written 2-3 pages of very conflicting and ambiguous words that are absolutely baffling.

Furthermore, anyone who reads this book will frequently encounter the words “bi l-haqq ‘ala l-haqq (with the truth above the truth)” which is meaningless even in its original Arabic form.

This is how Baha’is describe the revealing of the aforementioned verses by the Bab:

He [meaning the Bab] then proceeded to say: “Now is the time to reveal the commentary on the Surih of Joseph.” He took up His pen and with incredible rapidity revealed the entire Surih of Mulk, the first chapter of His commentary on the Surih of Joseph. The overpowering effect of the manner in which He wrote was heightened by the gentle intonation of

His voice which accompanied His writing. Not for one moment did He interrupt the flow of the verses which streamed from His pen. Not once did He pause till the Surih of Mulk was finished. I sat enraptured by the magic of His voice and the sweeping force of His revelation.

Pay attention to the description: incredible rapidity, overpowering effect, gentle intonation, not once did he pause, magic, and force of revelation. This is how Baha’is portray the revelation of these ambiguous words to make their audience believe they are divine inspirations and guidance brought from God. Not once do they tell their followers that most of these words are sections copied from the Quran, are a clear act of plagiarism, and most other sentences in this book are meaningless. Here is another sample: within the space of forty-eight hours, verses had streamed that equaled in number those of the Qur’an, which it took its Author twenty-three years to reveal

Since when did the sheer amount of sentences written down in a short time become a criterion for the truth? And when did Muhammad become the author of the Quran? It is only in the Babi and Baha’i creeds that a prophet writes down his own revelations and is the author of the Book of God.

Furthermore, according to popular Islamic beliefs that Baha’u’llah believed in, the Quran was revealed upon the Prophet of Islam’s heart all at once at the beginning of his proclamation but it was announced to the people in a form known as progressive revelation so that they would gradually become acquainted with its laws. Claiming that it took twenty years to reveal the Quran whilst the same was revealed by the Bab in 48 hours is a baseless claim made by Shoghi which shows the amount of knowledge he possessed. This statement serves no purpose but to degrade Islam and try to show a superior Bab.
