Tahirih arrived in Baghdad in early 1847 and immediately resumed her public teaching. She used her translations of the Bab’s Writings such as the Qayyumu’l Asma, the first book that He had revealed.
“The Qayyumu’l-Asmá is a new Qur‘án which is centered on the drama of Joseph...emphasizes the peaceful nature of Joseph’s dispensation.” (Dr. Todd Lawson)
The chief judge of Baghdad summoned Tahirih to an interview. He found her to be innocent of heresy but to be sure, he sent her to the home of Shaykh Alusi, a cleric who had previously tried another of the Bab’s disciples, Mulla Ali Bastami.
