We have underlined the word ḥaqq (meaning truth) in the facsimile. This word has been added to the verses of the Quran nine times in eight lines. As if adding the word truth between his distortions will make them any more true! The same trend is used in all the book. The word truth has also been added five times between the distorted Quranic verses in the six ending lines of the book. We have shown these in bold-face. In the next table the ending sentences of the book have been examined:

The same trend is followed more or less throught the book with exact or very similar replicas of whole verses being used in every page. There are multiple ways to convey a message using many different words and their combinations. Why insist on using exact replicas of the Quran and insist they are new revelations?

Now let us read all these phrases side-by-side to see if they make any sense:

All praise is to God who descended the Book unto His servant with truth so that he may be  for the worlds a blazing lamp. This is truly an exalted path with your Lord that has been straight above the Upright Truth in the Mother Book. He is exalted in the Mother Book that is with us and He is above the most great truth and he possessed wisdom in the presence of the Merciful. And it is a truth from God and in accordance with the pure religion. It was in the Mother Book inscribed near mount Sinai. This is verily the truth, the path of God in the skies and earth. Whoso wishes may take a path to God by the truth. This is verily the upright religion and God and he who posseesses the knowledge of the Book suffice as witnesses.

Say I do not ask you for a reward, for it is present with my Lord in the Mother Book. This is truly and above truth existant. My reward (will be given to me) by God, with the truth and above the truth. This has been ordained in the Day of Beginning. God and His angels send blessings on the Prophet and his family. Oh you who believe, send blessings on them like how God sent blessings on them and their followers. He is God who is truly witness to all things and He is God who encompasses all things.

These words don’t make much sense and are very similar to Sufi and mystic cult language designed to baffle the reader and create artifical esoteric sesnations in them. The sentences usually do not convey a clear message and when they do, they are out of context and mostly unrelated to each other. The remainig sections of this book are also of this form and contain many grammatical errors that we will not point out to for they are inapropriate for a non-Arabic audience.

Another point that must be mentioned here is the fact that this book (commenatry on the Sura of Joseph) was meant to be a commentary. A commentary is a series of explanatory notes which make clear the meanings of a sentence and remove any ambigiuty therein. What the Bab has done is the exact opposite, not only has he not made the verses of the Sura of Joseph clear, for every verse he has written 2–3 pages of very conflicting and ambigious words that are more baffling than any ambigious verse that one might encounter in the Quran.

Furthermore, anyone who reads this book will frequently encounter the catchphrase “bi l-haqq `ala l-haqq (with the truth above the truth)” which is meaningless even in its original Arabic form.

This is how Baha’is describe the revealing of the aforementioned verses by the Bāb:

He [meaning the Bāb] then proceeded to say: “Now is the time to reveal the commentary on the Sūrih of Joseph.” He took up His pen and with incredible rapidity revealed the entire Sūrih of Mulk, the first chapter of His commentary on the Sūrih of Joseph. The overpowering effect of the manner in which He wrote was heightened by the gentle intonation of His voice which accompanied His writing. Not for one moment did He interrupt the flow of the verses which streamed from His pen. Not once did He pause till the Sūrih of Mulk was finished. I sat enraptured by the magic of His voice and the sweeping force of His revelation.[3]

Pay attention to the description: incredible rapidity, overpowering effect, gentle intonation, not once did he pause, magic, and force of revelation. This is how Baha’is portray the revelation of these ambiguous words to make their audience believe they are divine inspirations and guidance brought from God. Not once do they tell their followers that most of these words are sections copied from the Quran, are a clear act of plagiarism, and most other sentences in this book are meaningless. Here is another sample: 

within the space of forty-eight hours, verses had streamed that equalled in number those of the Qur’ān, which it took its Author twenty-three years to reveal[4]

Since when did the sheer amount of sentences written down in a short time become a criterion for the truth? And when did Muḥammad become the author of the Quran? It is only in the Bābī and Baha’i creeds that a prophet writes down his own revelations and is the author of the Book of God.

Furthermore, according to Shia Islamic beliefs that Baha’u’llah believed in, the Quran was revealed upon the Prophet of Islam’s heart all at once at the beginning of his proclamation but it was announced to the people in a form known as progressive revelation so that they would gradually become acquainted with its laws. Claiming that it took twenty years to reveal the Quran whilst the same was revealed by the Bab in 48 hours is a baseless claim made by Shoghi which shows the amount of knowledge he possesed. This statement serves no purpose but to degrade Islam and try to show a superior Bāb.
