Shoghi Effendi, our beloved Guardian gave this succinct description of the Kitab-i-Aqdas in chapter 12 of God Passes By, his incomparable history of the first hundred years of the Cause:
"In this Charter of the future world civilization its Author—at once the Judge, the Lawgiver, the Unifier and Redeemer of mankind—announces to the kings of the earth the promulgation of the 'Most Great Law'; pronounces them to be His vassals; proclaims Himself the 'King of Kings'; disclaims any intention of laying hands on their kingdoms; reserves for Himself the right to 'seize and possess the hearts of men'; warns the world’s ecclesiastical leaders not to weigh the 'Book of God' with such standards as are current amongst them; and affirms that the Book itself is the 'Unerring Balance' established amongst men. In it He formally ordains the institution of the 'House of Justice,' defines its functions, fixes its revenues, and designates its members as the 'Men of Justice,' the 'Deputies of God,' the 'Trustees of the All-Merciful,' alludes to the future Center of His Covenant, and invests Him with the right of interpreting His holy Writ; anticipates by implication the institution of Guardianship; bears witness to the revolutionizing effect of His World Order; enunciates the doctrine of the 'Most Great Infallibility' of the Manifestation of God; asserts this infallibility to be the inherent and exclusive right of the Prophet; and rules out the possibility of the appearance of another Manifestation ere the lapse of at least one thousand years."
Peter Terry will give a brief synopsis of the Baha'i doctrine of the Most Great Infallibility of the Manifestation of God.
