Qne of the chief works of the Báb. It’s a commentary on the
Surih of Jospeh in the Qur'an and is regarded by the Babis as in effect their
Qur'an. In the first chapter of the Qayyúmu'l-Asmá, which was revealed when the
Báb communicated His Message to Mulla Husayn, He referred to the 'people of
Baha' as the only 'companions of the Crimson-Coloured Ark' moving upon the
'Crimson Sea'. The 'Crimson Ark' was a reference to the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh,
which was launched on the first day of Ridvan.

Baha'u'llah vol. 1’, by Adib Taherzadeh)
