The Blessed Beauty was born in Tehran on 12th November, 1817 in the family of a Persian Vazir (Minister). Baha’is worship the Ancient Beauty as the Manifestation of God on the earth, the Prophet of the Baha’i Religion and the Promised One of all ages. His intimate proclamation took place at the “Black Pit” of Tehran in 1853 when He was 36. He proclaimed His mission to the world by sending out tablets from Adrianople to the Rulers of States, Kings, Emperors, Presidents and Religious Leaders during the year 1867 to 1873. The duration of His Prophethood was 39 years. Over a hundred volumes were revealed from his Pen, among which we can name the Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book), The Hidden Words, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, Tablets to the Leaders of the World, Kitab-i-Iqan (The Book of Certitude), The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys, many tablets to various believers and many prayers. The Glory of God, Baha’u’llah revealed in Kita-b-i-Aqdas:
"Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths. Take heed that ye do not vacillate in your determination to embrace the truth of this Cause. A Cause through which the potentialities of the might of God have been revealed and His sovereignty established. With faces beaming with joy, hasten you unto Him. This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future. Let hath refused to seek it verily; God is Self Sufficient, above need of His creatures."
(Kitab-i-Aqdas, quoted in A Synopsis and Codification of the Laws and Ordinances of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, pp 27-28)
