As there were no followers of the Bab or Baha'u'llah derived
from the religions of the Far East in Their days, this may be the reason that
They did not address any Tablets directly to these people. Also we must
remember that every religion springs from some root, and just as Christianity
sprang from Judaism, our own religion sprang from Islam, and that is why so
many of the teachings deduce their proofs from Islam.
