Kitab-i-Iqan (The Book of Certitude) is the most important book of the Baha’is after the book Aqdas. In their eyes, the material is divine revelation and the word of God. This book has been reviewed and criticized in two ways; one, the arguments and interpretations of Baha'u'llah; and the other, with a methodological approach.
In this article, 9 manuscripts or prints of the book of Iqan are examined to show the deliberate changes that Baha'is did to correct the inaccuracies in this book. The differences in these nine versions can be divided into five groups:Eliminating the position of Mirza Yahya Subh-i-Azal;
Correcting the wrong quotes from verses of the Quran; Changing the vocabulary; Correction of Arabic literary errors; and Correction of Persian literary errors.
This article deals specifically with the first group. The omission of the phrase “Hidden Word “which, according to the historical background refers to the spiritual guardianship and leadership of Mirza Yahya Subh-i-Azal over Babis and his succession to Seyed Ali Mohammad Bab. A sign of the false claim of Mirza Hussein Ali Baha’u’llah of being the Man Who Will Be Appeared by God. In addition, the correction of various inaccuracies in the book of Iqan by the Baha'is is in contradiction with their claim that this book is divine.
