I am reading Kitab-e-Iqan by Bahaullah and it occurred to me that Bahaullah does not say in it in clear and unequivocal terms about the things written in this book that these has been revealed on/to him by/from G-d. Right, please?
I will appreciate if somebody gives quotes from Iqan, if I am wrong.
As explained above.
Baha'u'llah wrote this book as a Babi to answer a question by the Uncle of the Bab as to how His Nephew could be a Messenger from God.
As Baha'u'llah had not yet made a declaration that He was the One Promised by the Bab, that would have gone beyond the question asked, and would have been a public declartaion.
That would be like Christ telling plainly that he was Christ before the appointed time, before the Baptisim with John.
God doeth as He willeth. It is a rare few that can see a Messenger before they declare thier Mission, but there are many that knew who Baha'u'llah was prior to His declaration. All remained silent until the appointed time.
You will not find Baha'u'llah by looking for His declaration in the Kitab-i-iqan, he had not made it yet. The appointed time had nit arrived.
The Quran confirms this;
"...They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only, all of a sudden will it come to you." They ask thee as if thou Wert eager in search thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone), but most men know not."
