1.1.2 Qiyamat-i Quran (Resurrection of Quran)
The Persian Bayan, Unity II, Chapter 7:
“And from the moment of the “manifestation” of the Tree of the Bayan [i.e. the BAB] until its disappearance is the Resurrection of the prophet of god, which god hath promised in the Quran; whereof the beginning was after two hours and eleven minutes had passed of the night of the fifth of Jamadi-ul-Awwal, A.H. 1260, which was the year of 1270 of the mission [of Prophet Muhammad].
[This was] the first day of the Resurrection of the Quran, and till the disappearance of the Tree of Truth [i.e. the BAB] the Resurrection of the Quran continueth. For of nothing doth the Resurrection occur till it reaches the stage of perfection. The perfection of the religion of Islam was consummated ere the beginning of this manifestation, and from the beginning till the moment of disappearance the fruits of the Tree of Islam, whatever they are, will become apparent. And the Resurrection of the Bayan is from the (first) appearance of ‘Him Whom God Shall Manifest’; for today the Bayan is in the stage of seed but at the beginning of the manifestation of ‘Him Whom God Shall Manifest’ the perfection of the Bayan. It will be apparent, when He shall gather the fruits of the Trees which have been planted.”
