While the Tablet of the Branch, composed in the Adrianople period had clearly signaled a high station for "the Branch of Holiness" and the Kitáb-i-Aqdas has specified that this high station involved leadership of the Baháʼí community after Baháʼu'lláh's passing, it was only with the unsealing of the Kitáb-i-ʻAhd after the passing of Baháʼu'lláh that it was confirmed that the Branch referred to was indeed ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. Lawḥ-i-Arḍ-i-Bá (Tablet of the Land of Bá)See online text hereBaháʼu'lláh wrote the Tablet of the Land of Bá () on the occasion of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's visit to Beirut, which is what is referred to as the Land of Bá. In the tablet, Baháʼu'lláh extolls the station of the Master and Most Mighty Branch, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá.
