The first Tablet, known as the Lawh-i- Manikchi Sahib, is celebrated for its striking and well-known passages epitomizing the universality of Baha'u'llah's prophetic claim. Revealed, at Manikchi Sahib's bold request, in pure Persian, the Tablet responds to the questions he had raised and proclaims some of the central tenets of the Faith of Baha'u'llah: "Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements." "Turn your faces from the darkness of estrangement to the effulgent light of the daystar of unity." "Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch." "Whatsoever leadeth to the decline of ignorance and the increase of knowledge hath been, and will ever remain, approved in the sight of the Lord of creation."
