Bahá’u’lláh, originally named Ḥusayn-Ê»AlÃ, established the Bahá’à Faith and faced significant adversity throughout his life. Born into Persian nobility, he was exiled for his devotion to the Bábà Faith. In 1863, he proclaimed his divine revelation from God, which led to further confinement in the Ottoman Empire. Among his numerous religious writings, the Kitáb-i-Aqdas and the Kitáb-i-Ãqán are the most renowned. As a prophet and messenger of God, Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings continue to inspire millions. He passed away in BahjÃ, now part of Israel, where he is also interred.
