Hey, hey, hey Baha’i Blog readers! Here at Baha’i Blog, we love quizzes, so we’ve decided to start having a regular quiz post to help you all gauge just how much you may know about certain topics relating to the Faith.
With the commemoration of the Martyrdom of The Bab coming up, we’ve decided to dedicate our very first Baha’i quiz to the life of The Bab.
Go ahead – take the quiz and let us know if you enjoyed it in the ‘comments’ section. Good luck!
This was a great idea!!! Thanks! I hope I do well
😉
We are planning for this unforgettable commémoration. And the quiz will fit in. The history of the Bab is the first drop of this vast océan which fascinated me.
Yeah awesome job Naysan!!! Very cool 🙂
Glad you like it guys! We’ll hopefully be doing one of these every Baha’i month!
A special thanks also goes to Milan for his help with the questions, and to Siddharth for his awesome trivia app: http://codecanyon.net/item/jquizzy-premium-quiz-engine/242295
Is the creator of the quiz app a Baha’i?
He’s not a Baha’i but he’s someone I work with and was really kind to help us out with this.
Yeah, it’s a great app! Thinking about using it myself. Great job with the blog!
Enjoyable!
I took the quiz & got a 100% yes!!! 🙂
Hahaha brilliant man brilliant! I super love trivia quizes about the faith! Awesome job Naysan!!! …and I obviously need to revise a couple of things since i made two mistakes :S 😛
Great quiz. Always good to get one in when you’ve got a spare 5 minutes. Keep’m coming guys. Also what does ” one ” win when ” one ” achieves a perfect score 😉
Thanks to everyone who contributed for making this happen,.., great idea team:) keep it up
Very interesting
Great work Nayse, awesome to bring this in as we remember the heroism of the Bab that one day the whole world will come to admire. I love the questionnaire app, did you develop it?
Thanks Kim, glad u like it! The app was developed by a guy I work with called Siddharth – it’s very nice isn’t it?! Thanks for your support Kim, and please help us let everyone know about the quiz and Baha’i Blog. Cheers!
Really enjoyed it. Great work 🙂
Very nice! I love history and trivia. I hope you guys continue this, but don’t afraid to make them a little harder! haha
Great quiz! Baha’u’llah is next…?
Wonderful — beats those other night time games on the web.
Enjoyed it, more questions next time though! 🙂
Nice!!
Enjoyable activity and thx to Naysan & Husayn . Are you planning anymore ?
Thanks Heather,
Glad you enjoyed it!
We’re trying to do a lot more of these, perhaps once every Baha’i month before Feast, so they could potentially be used at Feast as an activity if needed. We just posted another one about ‘Abdul-Baha’s travels to the West’ and it’s our latest post so you’ll see it at the top of the home page. Here’s the link: http://bahaiblog.net/2011/09/13/abdu%E2%80%99l-baha%E2%80%99s-travels-to-the-west/
Thanks for your support, and also who’s ‘Husayn’?
Dear Naysan,
Thanks for the cute quiz. I’ll let my daughter try it. I hope there will be more difficult quizzes in the future.

Great work. It’s important that someone challenges us and that we rise to that challenge and find out what we know, and what we don’t know.
I’ve worked on gathering Q & A on Baha’i subjects for years. I’d be happy to share these with you.
One thing you might think about – to spur folks to investigate further – is to include the reference in the Baha’i literature for the answer.
You might also include a place where one can privately report an error. (sorry… I’m an editor!)

Thanks for the feedback Roger! If you’de like to share with us the Q&A you’ve been gathering and would like to make any other suggestions, please free to email me directly at: [email protected]
Thank you, it was great and i think i can ask the younger ones to do this. looking forward for more challenging ones.
Like the quiz

Glad you like the quiz Fuzzy! I hope you scored well!
This was great Naysan! I’m going to do this quiz with my BESS kids next week. They’re going to love it! Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Glad you like it Loretta! Thanks for your encouragement!
Loved the quiz got 1 wrong the first time and got them all the second time.
Thanks Gina! Here’s another one we did a while back about Abdu’l-Baha’s travels to the West in case you’re interested.
Put Bahai blog on my husbands iPad and we have just sat together and answered the questions.Excellent idea especially for Don who had a severe accident over 20yrs ago but has retained his love of the faith even though he cannot read write walk or talk apart from a few words. This allows him to still be part of the faith with like minded people so many thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi Margaret and Don, thanks so much for your support and encouragement! I’m so happy to hear that Baha’i Blog has helped Don especially continue to be a part of this wonderful Faith!
Hey guys I made it 🙂 ! I really got a 100 % I love this program more and more.
became a Baha’i by reading about the Bab many years ago so of course 100%!
Love and enjoyed the blog
Great Idea :-), please make it more difficult 🙂
Thanks Aimma, glad you liked it and we’ll work on some more difficult ones in the future. Thanks again! 🙂

No problem Monir! Glad you liked it and thanks for your support and encouragement! Hope to do more of them in the near future. 🙂
i really love this game is so much fun. its an advantage to bring u back to the books to refresh the brains
Great work keep it up and have more .. Thanks a million
I love it!
Really great app, got 7/10.
thinking about using this app at our Birth of The Bab Celebration tonight.
Question #1 should be May 22nd instead of May 23rd (1844).
“The beginning thereof was when two hours and eleven minutes [had passed] from the evening preceding the fifth of Jamadiyu’l-Ula, 1260 [A.H.]” (The Persian Bayan 2:7)
Turns out it was a Wednesday night.

Never too late. I just discovered this quiz on the Bab and got a good mark (100%!)due mainly to recently reading the Abridged Nabil’s Narrative. I have found it hard to just dip into the big book of The Dawnbreakers so I love the compact (195 pages), abridged and detailed version compiled by Zena Sorabjee. Thanks for the quizz love from Perth Australia. Xx
Nicely done on the quiz, Lynne! Congrats! 🙂
I have been a Baha’i less than a year and just heard about the blog. I enjoyed the quiz, and I scored 100%. This is a great activity for the youth.
Awesome! So glad you liked the quiz and so glad you’ve discovered Baha’i Blog! If you haven’t already, don’t forget to sign up to our mailing list, and follow us on Social media for more posts and updates! Thanks again!
Dearest Naysan
Thank you so much for all your hard work and devotion. We were travelling by car from Sydney to Melbourne and discovered these quizzes. We had fun and learned a lot.
With Baha’i love
Bahiyeh
Oh, that’s so awesome! You’re most welcome Bahiyeh jan! So glad you like them and hope you had a fun and educational car ride! 🙂
