[3] Stephen Lambden describes the Kitabu'l-Asmáʼ as "one of the most theologically weighty or important writings of the Bab".
[1] In The sources for early Bábí doctrine and history, the Kitabu'l-Asmáʼ is described as a work that could be of "much interest to the psychologist of religious inspiration".
[9] In a stream of consciousness style,[10] the Báb explores many divine names and attributes[6] and describes how humanity can be spiritualized by recognizing the Manifestation of God.
(29:423-24, Provisional translation by Nader Saiedi ) [12] "Say: God verily cultivateth on earth, as He pleaseth, at His bidding.
Verily that which I attest with regard to both the rulers and the peasants amongst you, is the same thing: all have arisen at the bidding of God."
