Author:
The Bábà and Baháʾà Faiths represent two of the most important religious movements of modern times. This book relates the story of the evolution of the BábÃ-Baháʾà community, beginning with the birth of its founder, Siyyid ʾAlÃ-Muhammad, known as the Báb, in 1819 and then traced over the next century and a half in the city of his birth, ShÃráz. Its author, MÃrzá HabÃbuʾlláh Afnán, was himself born in the house of the Báb, reared by the widow of the Báb, who shared with him many stories of the Bábâs life, then spent nearly a year with Baháʾuʾlláh in the ʾAkka-Haifa area, and some ten years in close proximity to Baháʾuʾlláhâs son ʾAbduʾl-Bahá. He served for the next half century as the hereditary custodian of the house of the Báb, and as such was uniquely qualified to tell the story of the BábÃ-Baháʾà Faiths in the city of ShÃráz in remarkable and moving detail.
