![]() ![]() ![]() Before leaving Baghdad, Bahá’u’lláh and his followers lived for twelve days in a garden on the banks of the Tigris River. Bahá’ulláh was exiled several times in his life, first from Persia, then from Baghdad and from Constantinople (Istanbul), before ending up in Acre, modern day Israel. He called himself Bahá’ulláh, meaning the Glory of God in Arabic. A young adherent to Bábism, Mirza Husayn-‘Alí soon grew to prominence in the Bábí community. He soon gained a notable following, but was executed in 1850 by the Qajar Dynasty of Persia, which feared a growing Bábí religious minority. In 1844, “ the Báb ,” declared that he was the bearer of a divine revelation from God. Even students who aren’t particularly interested in religion might take interest in the article, as it touches on social issues, Marxism, and LGBTQ+ issues. Certain details are left out for the sake of brevity. Any misrepresentation of Bahá’í or any other religious or spiritual doctrine is the fault of the author. ![]() Disclaimer : This article aims neither to endorse or oppose any Bahá’í or other religious or spiritual doctrine, but rather to provide information to the NYU Shanghai community about one of the youngest world religions. ![]()
