Epistle to the Son of the Wolf

About “Epistle to the Son of the Wolf”

The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf is the last major work of Bahá'u'lláh, founder of the Baháʼí Faith. It was written in 1891 and addressed to Shaykh Muhammad Taqi, known as Áqá Najafi, a Muslim cleric in Isfáhán. His father, Shaykh Muhammad Báqir, was called the Wolf due to his role in the execution of the Nahrí brothers in 1879. Both the father and son persecuted the Baháʼís. The letter was written just before Bahá'u'lláh's death in 1892. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
