Earl Elder Notes
2. Al-kawthar is, according to Islamic belief, the name of a river in Paradise (See commentaries on Qur'an 108:1 and books of Islamic eschatology). The meaning of the passage here is that when the Bab appeared with al-Bayan, the followers of other religions were turned back, except those who thirsted for the Water of Life.
