Featured in: The Declaration of the Bab
On a spring evening on May 22rd, 1844, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad announced that He was the bearer of a Divine Revelation whose aim was to prepare the world for “Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest,” a Messenger of God known as Baha’u’llah. Baha’is refer to Siyyid Ali-Muhammad by His title, the Bab, which is Arabic for “the Gate,” and that eventful evening is celebrated every year by Baha’is around the world.
Baha’i Blog is delighted to share an audio recording of one of our articles titled, “The Other Witnesses: Khadijih Bagum and Haji Mubarak at the Declaration of the Bab” in which we learn a little about the wife of the Bab, Khadijih Bagum, and His servant, Haji Mubarak.
