The Báb specified that the "Bayán" is not completed and that "He Whom God would manifest" (Bahá'u'lláh) would complete it, though not in its actual form, but only spiritually in the form of another book. The "Íqán" is believed to be its continuation.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated February 17, 1939, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, ‘Dawn of a New Day, Messages to India’)
