Issues of Successorship

"while in some quarters this Tablet has become known as the Will and Testament of the Bab, the Research Department has, to date, found no explicit evidence to suggest that the Bab, Himself, designated the Tablet as such. Indeed, from a perusal of the attached material, Mr. Villar will see that the Tablet bears no title. He will also see that, while the Tablet is addressed to Azal, there is nothing in its contents pertaining to questions of successorship and authority. Rather, the recipient is enjoined to promote and protect the Faith and to invite people to follow what has been revealed in the Bayan. To date, no authorized English translation of the Tablet is available."
