Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), meaning in Arabic "The Glory of God," is the title of Mirza Husayn-Ali, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. The main theme of Baha'u'llah's message is unity. He taught that there is only one God, that all the world's religions represent one changeless and eternal Faith of God, and that all humanity is one race, destined to live in peace and harmony. The Bab (1819-1850), meaning in Arabic "the Gate," is the title assumed by Siyyid Ali-Muhammad, an independent Messenger of God, whose mission was to inaugurate a new cycle in humanity's spiritual development. His writings prepared the way for the mission of Baha'u'llah. Abdu'l-Baha, meaning in Arabic "Servant of the Glory," was the title assumed by Abbas Effendi (1844-1921), the eldest son and appointed successor of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. |
