The Tajallíyát (Arabic: ﺍﻟﺘﺠﻠﻴﺎﺕ) was revealed circa 1885 while Baháʼu'lláh was in Bahjí in honour of Ustád ʻAlí-Akbar, who was one of the believers from the city of Yazd, and who designed the first Baháʼí House of Worship in Ishqábád.
The tablet is written as four tajallís, or effulgences, which are: The Kalimát-i-Firdawsíyyih (Arabic: ﺍﻟﻜﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﻔﺮﺩﻭﺳﻴﺔ) was revealed by Baháʼu'lláh two years before his death in honour of his trusted disciple Ḥájí Mírzá Ḥaydar-ʻAlí.
He states that living in seclusion or practising asceticism is not acceptable, and that instead all should work towards the betterment of humanity rather than that what profits themselves; he extols the praiseworthiness of charity and the use of sciences and arts to promote the well-being of humankind.

In the opening of the tablet, Baháʼu'lláh bestows his bounties upon Hands of the Cause ʻAlí-Akbar and Trustee of Huqúqu'lláh, Amín who were imprisoned in Qazvin.

The Súriy-i-Vafá (Arabic: ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻮﻓﺎ) was written to S͟hayk͟h Muḥammad Ḥusayn, one of the early believers of Shiraz, surnamed Vafá (Fidelity) by Baháʼu'lláh.
The Kitáb-i-ʻAhd (Arabic: ﻛﺘﺎﺏ ﻋﻬﺪﻱ literally "Book of My Covenant") is Baháʼu'lláh's Will and Testament, where he selects ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as his successor.
