==In all matters moderation is desirable==
"The word of God which the Supreme Pen hath recorded on the ninth leaf of the Most Exalted Paradise is this: In all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], ''[[Kalimát-i-Firdawsíyyih]]'', Words of Paradise)

==Anything passing beyond moderation will cease to exert a beneficial influence==

"Whatsoever passeth beyond the limits of moderation will cease to exert a beneficial influence. Consider for instance such things as liberty, civilization and the like."

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], ''[[Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh]]'', sec. [[gwbs:110|110]], p. [[gwb:216|216]])

==Speech must be moderated and combined with tact and wisdom==
Human utterance is an essence which aspireth to exert its influence and needeth moderation. As to its influence, this is conditional upon refinement which in turn is dependent upon hearts which are detached and pure. As to its moderation, this hath to be combined with tact and wisdom as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures and Tablets.

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], ''[[Lawḥ-i-Maqṣúd]]'')

==Moderation means an end to destructive excesses==

By moderation, Bahá’u’lláh is in no way referring to mere compromise, the dilution of truth, or a hypocritical or utopian consensus. The moderation He calls for demands an end to destructive excesses that have plagued humanity and fomented ceaseless contention and turmoil. Moderation in deliberation and action stands in contrast to the arbitrary imposition of views through power or insistence upon ideological aims, both of which obstruct the search for truth and sow the seeds of continuing injustice. A moderate perspective is a practical and principled standpoint from which one can recognize and adopt valid and insightful ideas whatever their source, without prejudice.

:(On behalf of the [[Universal House of Justice]], letter to three individuals 29 November 2017)

== He who cleaveth to justice can not transgress the limits of moderation==
Whoso cleaveth to justice, can, under no circumstances, transgress the limits of moderation. He discerneth the truth in all things, through the guidance of Him Who is the All-Seeing. The civilization, so often vaunted by the learned exponents of arts and sciences, will, if allowed to overleap the bounds of moderation, bring great evil upon men. Thus warneth you He Who is the All-Knowing. If carried to excess, civilization will prove as prolific a source of evil as it had been of goodness when kept within the restraints of moderation.

==What is covered in the Íqán (and "Some Answered Questions")==

"The first two books [Íqán and "Some Answered Questions"] will reveal to them the significance of this divine revelation as well as the unity of all the Prophets of old."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith]]'', [https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_deepening#106 106], in ''Pearls of Wisdom'', p. 77)

"The Íqán is the most important book written on the spiritual significance of the Cause."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Light of Divine Guidance|The Light of Divine Guidance]]'', vol. i., p. [[ldg1:37|37]])

"...the Íqán is the most important book wherein Bahá'u'lláh explains the basic beliefs of the Faith."

:(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 28 June 1930, published in ''Baha'i News'', [https://bahai-library.com/shoghieffendi_compilation_bahai_news#46 #46], November 1930, p. 2)

"He is very eager to have this wonderful book translated well, for it is the best means of grounding those who become interested in the fundamental teachings of the Faith. The Íqán and Dr Esslemont's book will be sufficient to make any seeker a true believer in the divine nature of the Faith."

:(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, quoted in ''A Companion to the Study of the Kitáb-i-Íqán'', p. 2)

"...‘the Book of Certitude' by Bahá'u'lláh...contains the very essence of the Teachings, and because of its clarity and its relative simplicity can greatly appeal to every thoughtful reader...the Íqán deepens the knowledge of the reader by acquainting him with some of the basic theological problems of the Faith. It is, therefore, indispensable for every student of the Movement..."

:(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, quoted in ''A Companion to the Study of the Kitáb-i-Íqán'', pp. 2-3)

"Shoghi Effendi hopes that you will exert all your effort to deepen your knowledge of the literature of the Movement, until you become fully acquainted with its spirit and tenets. Unless you do obtain such a firm hold you will never be able to teach others and render real service to the promulgation of the Faith. Of special importance is the Book of the Íqán which explains the attitude of the Cause towards the prophets of God and their mission in the history of society. Besides this there is Some Answered Questions of the Master and The Dawn-Breakers of Nabíl. Every Bahá'í should master these books and be able to explain their contents to others. Besides their importance, they are interesting and most absorbing."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of Shoghi Effendi]] to an individual believer, February 9, 1932, in ''[[Importance of Deepening our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith]]'', no. [https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_deepening#102 102] and in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1931|1931]])

"Although We did not intend to make mention of the traditions of a bygone age, yet, because of Our love for thee, We will cite a few which are applicable to Our argument. We do not feel their necessity, however, inasmuch as the things We have already mentioned suffice the world and all that is therein. In fact, all the Scriptures and the mysteries thereof are condensed into this brief account. So much so, that were a person to ponder it awhile in his heart, he would discover from all that hath been said the mysteries of the Words of God, and would apprehend the meaning of whatever hath been manifested by that ideal King."

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], The [[Kitáb-i-Íqán]], par. [[kip:266|266]], p. {{ki|237}})

"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."

:(On behalf of? [[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Dawn of a New Day]]'', February 17, 1939, p. [[dnd:78|78]])

"A model of Persian prose, of a style at once original, chaste and vigorous, and remarkably lucid, both cogent in argument and matchless in its irresistible eloquence, this Book, setting forth in outline the Grand Redemptive Scheme of God, occupies a position unequalled by any work in the entire range of Bahá'í literature, except the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, Bahá'u'lláh's Most Holy Book. Revealed on the eve of the declaration of His Mission, it proffered to mankind the ‘Choice Sealed Wine', whose seal is of ‘musk', and broke the ‘seals' of the ‘Book' referred to by Daniel, and disclosed the meaning of the ‘words' destined to remain ‘closed up' till the ‘time of the end'."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[God Passes By]]'', pp. [[gpb:138|138]]-139)

===The interpretation of the Return and last days is covered in the Íqán===

"The "return" which is mentioned in the Divine Scriptures is this: it is fully explained by the Supreme Pen[+F1 Bahá'u'lláh] in the Kitáb-i-Iqán. Refer to it, so that you may be informed of the truth of the divine mysteries."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Some Answered Questions]]'', p. [[saq:289|289]])

"Then it is said by Jesus in the Gospel, that similar signs would appear in the “last day”—or in other words—in the day when Christ will come the second time in this world."

"The interpretation of these statements is mentioned in the clearest manner and with the most wonderful proofs in the Book of Ighan2. His honor, Ali-Kuli-Khan, has already translated this Book which will soon be published in America3 . Then you will be informed of the explanation and interpretation of these verses and statements as elucidated by the Blessed Perfection. Therefore my interpretation is not necessary.

"2. During the time of BAHA’O’LLAH’S residence in Baghdad (the Dwelling of Peace), men of learning, including Jews, Christians and Mohammedans, visited Him seeking answer to religious and scriptural questions. Such answer He gave in the Book of Ighan, otherwise known as the Book of Explanations and Assurance. It concerns the Reality and Authority of the human Divine “Manifestations.”

"3. The book was published in 1904."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá]]'', vol. 1, p. [[tab:107|107]])

"Thou hast asked concerning reincarnation: Reincarnation as understood by the people, is untrue; but in the Gospel, “return” is referred to, and that is the return of qualities[2 I.e., the return of the qualities, powers and attributes in another human being] and not the return of entities. This matter is explained in detail in the Book of Ighan, which is translated and published. Study that Book."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá]]'', vol. 3, pp. [[tab:549|549]]-550)

==Importance of the Íqán==

"...it is the most fundamental book on the Bahá'í Revelation."

:(From a postscript in the hand of [[Shoghi Effendi]] on a letter written on his behalf to an individual believer, 25 August 1932; cited in "Some Interpretive Principles in the Bahá'í Writings", [https://bahai-library.com/fananapazir_fazel_interpretive_principles#E2 note 4])

"...unique repository of inestimable treasures...of unsurpassed preeminence among the doctrinal...writings of the Author of the Bahá'í Dispensation"

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[God Passes By]]'', pp. [[gpb:138|138]], [[gpb:139|139]])

"Foremost among the priceless treasures cast forth from the billowing ocean of Bahá'u'lláh's Revelation ranks the Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude)..."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[God Passes By]]'', pp. [[gpb:138|138]]-139)

"The Íqán has been described by Bahá'u'lláh in one of His Tablets at the World Centre as the ‘Siyyid-i-Kutúb' - the Lord of Books."

:(Hooper Dunbar citing phrase of Bahá'u'lláh, ''A Companion to the Study of the Kitáb-i-Íqán'', p. 3)

"A model of Persian prose, of a style at once original, chaste and vigorous, and remarkably lucid, both cogent in argument and matchless in its irresistible eloquence, this Book, setting forth in outline the Grand Redemptive Scheme of God, occupies a position unequalled by any work in the entire range of Bahá'í literature, except the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, Bahá'u'lláh's Most Holy Book. Revealed on the eve of the declaration of His Mission, it proffered to mankind the ‘Choice Sealed Wine', whose seal is of ‘musk', and broke the ‘seals' of the ‘Book' referred to by Daniel, and disclosed the meaning of the ‘words' destined to remain ‘closed up' till the ‘time of the end'."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[God Passes By]]'', pp. [[gpb:138|138]]-139)

"...this [the Íqán] is a very important and fundamental book..."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Light of Divine Guidance|The Light of Divine Guidance]]'', vol. ii, pp. [[ldg2:121|121]]-122)

"The Íqán is the most important book written on the spiritual significance of the Cause. I do not believe any person can consider himself well versed in the teachings unless he has studied it thoroughly."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Light of Divine Guidance|The Light of Divine Guidance]]'', vol. i., p. [[ldg1:37|37]])

"As the 'Iqan is the most important book wherein Bahá'u'lláh explains the basic beliefs of the faith, he thought a proper rendering of it would infinitely enhance the teaching work in the West. He hopes that this new rendering will be an improvement on the previous one, but he fully admits that it is far from perfect, far from the original itself. Shoghi Effendi has given the proper transliteration of the Eastern terms and wants you to abid by them, keeping every dash, point, accent or inverted comma. To help you in this, he has also on a separate sheet written these in their proper form. He wishes you further not to include the introduction that exists in the last edition, for he does not think it worthwhile and enlightening. Drop also the glossary that exists at the end of the last edition and form a glossary using the definitions that he has sent to be put in the forthcoming Bahá'í World. As Shoghi Effendi has been emphasizing the need of submitting all publications to the Reviewing Committee, he wants to be the first to abide by that rule, though he hopes that they will not make unnecessary delay. In Germany they have translated the 'Iqan from the last translation and they are waiting for Shoghi Effendi's rendering to make the necessary alterations and publish their own. The proceeds of the sale of the book Shoghi Effendi wishes to go to the American National Assembly in an unlabelled form. This is a gift of his own personal labors that he wishes to present that body and he wishes it to be considered as a token of appreciation for the help they have rendered him in carrying on his arduous task."

"Unable to find a good typist, I have had to do the work myself, and I trust that the proofreaders will find it easy to go over and will not mind the type errors which I have tried to correct. I would especially urge you to adhere to the transliteration which I have adopted. The correct title is, I feel, 'The Kitab-I-'Iqan,' the sub-title 'The Book of Certitude.' May it help the friends to approach a step further, and obtain a clearer idea of the fundamental teachings set forth by Bahá'u'lláh."

:(Postscript of [[Shoghi Effendi]], ''Baha'i News'', no. [https://bahai-library.com/shoghieffendi_compilation_bahai_news#46 46], November 1930, p. 2)

"Shoghi Effendi has been lately spending his leisure hours translating the Book of Iqan for he considers it to be the key to a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures, & [sic] can easily rank as one of the most, if not the most, important thing that Baha’u’llah revealed explaining the basic beliefs of the Cause. He who fully grasps the purport of that Book can claim to have understood the Cause."

==Writings encouraging its study==

===Íqán to be read===

"Thou didst ask as to acquiring knowledge: read thou the Books and Tablets of God, and the articles written to demonstrate the truth of this Faith. Included among them are the "Íqán", which hath been translated into English, the works of Mírzá Abu'l-Fadl, and those of some others among the believers. In the days to come a great number of holy Tablets and other sacred writings will be translated, and thou shouldst read these as well. Likewise, ask thou of God that the magnet of His love should draw unto thee the knowledge of Him. Once a soul becometh holy in all things, purified, sanctified, the gates of the knowledge of God will open wide before his eyes."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith]]'', no. [https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_deepening#49 49])

===The Íqán is the 'Preserved Tablet,' the 'Expanded Parchment,' the Divine Charter, the Firman of the Merciful which we should immerse ourselves in===

"O thou who are athirst for the water of Life! This manifest Book is the fountainhead of the Water of Life eternal. Drink so much as thou art able from the fountain of the living water. O thou who art seeking after the knowledge of God! Immerse thyself in the ocean of the explanation of the Beauty of the Merciful, so that thou mayest gather from its depths the pearls of the wisdom of God.

"This is a translation of the 'Preserved Tablet,' the 'Expanded Parchment,' the Divine Charter, the Firman of the Merciful, that is, the Book of Iqán which hath emanated from the Supreme Pen and proceeded from the pure lips of the Blessed Beauty (may my soul be a sacrifice to His beloved ones)."

===The Iqán to be read over and over again by everyone who wishes to serve the Movement and consider himself an active member===

"Books such as the Iqán, Some Answered Questions, the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Nabíl's Narrative and Dr. Esslemont's book should be read and read over again by every soul who desires to serve the Movement or considers himself an active member of the group."

==Use the Íqán to teach==

"He was particularly gratified to learn of your intention to make a thorough study of the ‘Kitáb-i-Íqán' during this summer...The friends, and particularly those who wish to become competent and useful teachers, should indeed consider it to be their first duty to acquaint themselves, as thoroughly as they can, with each and every detail contained in this Holy Book, so that they may be able to present the Message in a befitting manner.

"It is the Guardian's hope, therefore, that those among the believers who have thus far and for some reason or another, failed to make a serious study of this important work will be stimulated to do so, and will as a result deepen their comprehension of the essentials of the Faith."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], quoted in ''A Companion to the Study of the Kitáb-i-Íqán'', p. 3)

"Shoghi Effendi hopes that you will exert all your effort to deepen your knowledge of the literature of the Movement, until you become fully acquainted with its spirit and tenets.

"The Sacred Books are full of allusions to this new dispensation. In the Book of Íqán, Bahá'u'lláh gives the key-note and explains some of the outstanding passages hoping that the friends will continue to study the Sacred Books by themselves and unfold the mysteries found therein.

"The people, failing to comprehend the meaning of the symbols and the truth of the Sacred Verses, thought them to be myths and unrealizable dreams. It is the duty of the friends who have been endowed by Bahá'u'lláh with the power of discernment to study these Sacred Books, ponder upon their passages and teach the disheartened people of the earth the treasures of knowledge they enclose."

==Begin teaching with a history of the religions of the past and their Founders (as in the Kitáb-i-Íqán)==

"...begin teaching with the account of the history of the religions of the past and their Founders, similar to the accounts given in the Kitáb-i-Íqán. This would enable the inquirer to gain an insight into his own religion that he might recognize the truth and the reality of the Founder of his own Faith. When this state was reached, the individual would be ready to appreciate and understand the Cause of God for this day."

==Use Kitáb-i-Íqán (and other important books) in lessons/study meetings==

"Thou hast written that ….…. is giving lessons of [the Book of] Ighan [1 See page [[tab:107|107]]]; this news brought me real joy."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas]]'', Vol. I, p. [[tab:212|212]])

You should form study classes and read the important books that have been published, especially the ‘Íqán', which contains the basic tenets of the Faith. The one who ponders that book and grasps its full significance will obtain a clear insight into the old scriptures and appreciate the true Mission of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh."
