Book Overview

'These pages will relate the story of Bah 'u'll h, as well as the story of the retrogression of a nation under the yoke of the Q j rs.'

With these words, Mr Balyuzi introduces this biography of the Founder of the Bah ' Faith.

The life and times of Bah 'u'll h are presented in their historical setting both in Iran and in the world at large.

Much of its story is taken from the unpublished memoirs of His companions who themselves observed the events they describe. Details are given of Bah 'u'll h's ancestry and family, His several journeys when banished from Iran, with the names of those who accompanied Him to Constantinople and into the citadel of 'Akk ; the horrific martyrdom of Bad ', His messenger to the Shah; the background of the marriage of 'Abdu'l-Bah , His eldest son; the machinations of the Azal s in Constantinople which brought Him anxiety and sorrow in His last years; and the closing months of His life at Bahj .

Currently the best biography

Carefully researched and beautifully written biography of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith. This book also includes many photos and illustrations. Covers His entire life, from childhood in Iran to His last days in prison in the Holy Land. I am not aware of any other book in English that has this much detail. Describes how the Shah of Iran and the Sultan of Turkey tried and failed to destroy the Baha'i Faith and its Founder. Also includes a detailed account of His letters to the Kings and Rulers of his time: Napolean, Emperor Franz Josef, etc.
