A narrated story from the book "Release The Sun" by William Sears, The Babs' Declaration in 1844, Heralding in The New Era of Peace, as seen through the eyes of Mullá Husayn, The Babs' first disciple. The place is Persia, modern-day Iran, where Mullá Husayn was a follower of Sayyid Kazim, a Mullah who, through study of the Islamic writing, told his students the glad tidings about the coming of the Mahdi and the "Masih" meaning Messiah, a divinely guided leader who will appear at the end of times. After his passing in 1843, many of his students spread out around Asia, Europe and Africa in the search for the Promised One.

Mullá Husayn said: "Our departed teacher insistently exhorted us to forsake our homes, to scatter far and wide, in quest of the promised Beloved... Regarding the features of the Promised One, he told us that He is of a pure lineage, is of illustrious descent, and of the seed of Fatimih. As to His age, He is more than twenty and less than thirty. He is endowed with innate knowledge. He is of medium height, abstains from smoking, and is free from bodily deficiency."

(quoted in Shoghi Effendi's The Dawn-Breakers, p. 57)

When hearing about the Bahai teachings for the first time, about His plan to unite all mankind on our small, fragile, endangered planet into a world family rich in diversity of culture, many people realise that they also feel this way. They realise they have been Bahai all their lives, but have never even heard the word until recently.
If you feel this way, get in touch to learn even more.
The Baha’i faith is not a business, not a political party, not a cult nor a sect, nor a philosophy and does not want your money nor to brainwash you. It is democratic, empowers women and is not a new religion, but simply the spirit of our time. It is spiritual, divine in origin and mystical, but also common sense and in harmony with science.
There are no dogmas, ideologies, rituals, nor ceremonies as in past religions. It is a pure spring of spirituality, where the true seeker can quench his thirst for knowledge of the reality, meaning and purpose of life.
It is recognised by, for example, the United Nations, the German Supreme Court and the Pope in Rome as the youngest of the world’s monotheistic religions, equivalent to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism.
Bahaullah has abrogated the professional priesthood and, instead, introduced the local and national administrative spiritual assemblies, elected each April by local Baha’is.
The objective of the Baha’i teachings is the elimination of ignorance, superstition and prejudice, to allow all peoples of the world, irrespective of their skin colour, race, class, nationality, or mother religion to unite politically and spiritually into a world family, celebrating our rich diversity of cultures, as friends.
Call us if you would like to help construct a new world, where everyone, irrespective of ethnicity or mother religion, enjoys equal rights.
