7.    The Order of Bahaullah
7.1  Baha’s Risala
PP. 102-103, ibid Risala, Mirza Husayn Ali says: Several times some people have expressed a desire to bind the available writings for disposal. No permission has as yet been given for the purpose as “None of the Divine Manifestations _ have undertaken such matters.” The Primal Point himself paid no attention to such matters, and stated that later they will be arranged in excellent order, saying “Well is it with him who looks at the order of Bahaullah, and renders thanks unto his Lord. Verily it will appear, and it is irrevocably [ordained] on the part of god in the Bayan.” Mirza Husayn Ali then goes on to say that Quran was bound after Muhammad, and the Gospel after Christ, and concludes by saying that the function of the Manifestation is to reveal verses and that of created being to publish them. My spiritual servants will assuredly appear, will collect the works of god and arrange them in excellent order.”
At Baha’s behest,(see Expurgation of Baha’s Writings), some of his writings such as the Aqdas, the Iqan and the Sura-i-Haykal were expurgated by two laymen, and then printed and published during Baha’s lifetime.
