Among them was one woman, Zarrín Táj Baragháni, a poetess, who later received the name of Ṭáhirih (the Pure). These eighteen disciples were later to be known as the Letters of the...

The Báb was brought back to Tabríz from Chihríq, so that He could be shot by a firing squad. The night before His martyrdom, as He was being conducted to H...
In most of his prominent writings, The Báb alluded to a Promised One, most commonly referred to as man yazhiruhu'lláh, "He whom God shall make manifest", and that He Himself was "but a ring upon the hand of Him Whom God shall make manifest."

In his earliest years he focused on the theme that His teachings represent "true Islam" "until the day of resurrection". While many Islamic injunctions remained in force in His writings, the Báb claimed that He had ...
Unfortunately, most of the writings of the Báb have been lost. The Báb himself stated they exceeded five hundred thousand verses in length; the Qur'án, in contrast, is 6300 verses in length. If one assumes 25 verses per page, that would equal 20,000 pages of text. Nabíl-i-Zarandí, in The Dawn-breakers, mentions nine complete commentaries on the Qur...

Born in Shiraz, a city in southern Iran, on 20 October 1819, the Báb was the symbolic gate between past ages of prophecy and a new age of fulfilment for humanity.
