Included here as well with these two major works are the Lawh-i-Haft Pursish (Tablet of the Seven Questions), addressed to Ustad Javan-Mard, a prominent early Baha'i of Zoroastrian background and former student of Manikchi Sahib, and two other Tablets also revealed to believers of the same origin. Together, these five Tablets offer a glimpse of Baha'u'llah's love for, and special relationship with, the followers of a religion that had arisen, many centuries before, in the same land that witnessed the birth of His own Faith.
