Bahá’u’lláh’s trenchant apologia of His claims, by far His longest single work, written in the voice of one of His supporters, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the truth through the eye of the heart and refuting seven specific accusations levelled by a certain follower of Mírzá Yaḥyá. The answers emphasize the importance of ‘He Whom God shall make manifest’ in the writings of the Báb, declare Bahá’u’lláh’s claim to be the fulfilment of that promise, assert that the relationship between the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh is the same as that between John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, and warn the questioner of the wrath of God.

Admonishes the believers not to deny Him, not to forget the Covenant established in the Bayán and in all the sacred Books, and not to contend with His verses. Answers three questions out of more than twenty that were asked: regarding the station of man -- that all were created in God's nature and have been assigned predetermined measures of capacities and capabilities, which manifest according to their individual efforts; regarding His own station, which is greater than the creation of the heavens and the earth; and regarding the station of His sons, one of whom which will be manifested "through the power of the true Faith".
