Regarding his instruction to the N.S.A. of Iran to the
effect that Baha’u’llah’s writings in Arabic should not be translated into
Persian; this applies to the translation of the revealed words into Persian
only. Your Assembly, therefore, may proceed with its plan for the rendering of
the Tablet of Ahmad, the three daily obligatory prayers and other Tablets, into
Urdu.
