Thank you for the notice. I was not previously aware.
Neither Sale nor Rodwell were Baha'is. I was not seeking to make a
comparison between Baha'i and Muslim perspectives.

Just to clarify, I am not engaging in, or attempting to engage in, a Muslim-Baha'i dialogue. Baha'u'llah wrote a Tablet of Visitation for Imam Husayn, to be read on the commemoration of his martyrdom. This Tablet is part of the Baha'i Holy Text.
