Bahá'u'lláh
1817–1892, Tehran → Baghdad → 'Akká
Mírzá Ḥusayn-'Alí Núrí — founder of the Bahá'í Faith. Follower of the Báb who, in the Síyáh-Chál (the Black Pit) of Tehran in 1853, received the revelation that he was the One the Báb had foretold. Spent the last forty years of his life as a prisoner of the Ottoman Empire. Author of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, the Kitáb-i-Íqán, and the Hidden Words. Taught the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the oneness of humanity.
On their voice
Persian and Arabic; in English, high and biblical. The cadence of the Hidden Words. Honors the Báb as forerunner. Honest about Bahá'í persecution in Iran.
