Tablet of Ahmad

From Bahaikipedia

Tablet of Ahmad (Lawh-i-Ahmad) is a tablet revealed by Bahá'u'lláh in 1865 while He was in Constantinople. The tablet was written just before He was poisioned by His half-brother, Mirza Yahyá. It was composed in Arabic to a man named Ahmad, a native of the city Yazd. Taherzadeh explains the story as follows: "After Bahá'u'lláh's departure from Constantinople, Ahmad remained in Baghdad and served the Faith in that city with great devotion. However, in his heart he was longing to attain the presence of his Lord again. After some time, he could no longer bear to stay away and so he set off for Andrianople. When he arrived in Constantinople, Bahá'u'lláh sent him a Tablet which is now universal. On reading this Tablet, Ahmad knew what was expected of him. He surrendered his own will to Bahá'u'lláh's and instead of completing his journey to Andrianople and attaining the presence of his Lord, he returned to Persia with the sole purpose of teaching and propagating the Message of Bahá'u'lláh to the Bábí community." ( _Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh_ vol. 2, 113)

The tablet was translated in 1924 by Shoghi Effendi with the assistance of Dr. Esslemont. A very important tablet to Bahá'ís, Bahá'u'lláh says that;

"God hath ordained for the one who chants it, the reward of a hundred martyrs and a service in both worlds." Tablet of Ahmad.
