Featured in: The Martyrdom of the Bab
On July 9th 1850, the Bab, the forerunner to Baha’u’llah, was executed in Tabriz, Persia by a firing squad of 750 men. The Bab, which means “the Gate” in Arabic, was a Messenger of God whose role was to herald the coming of the latest Manifestation of God: Baha’u’llah. In 1909, after being hidden away for more than half a century, the Bab’s remains were finally interred on Mount Carmel, Israel.
Baha’i Blog is delighted to share an audio recording of one of our articles titled, “The Bab’s Revelation” in which we learn a little about the speed and beauty with which the Bab revealed sacred scripture. In this recording you’ll hear the voice of the article’s author, Sonjel Vreeland.
