The Birth of the Báb


Every religion has a herald, or forerunner, to prepare people for the coming of  that great Spiritual Counselor who is periodically sent by God to humankind to foster our spiritual development – that One whose divinely appointed mission it is to remind people to re-focus on what really matters, the eternal human spirit rather than the physical world, and to be helpful, kind, and loving to one another, rather than brutish, selfish and hateful, and to act with regard to one another responsibly and with justice in all aspects of life.
The Báb is that Herald for Bahá’ís – for those who recognize Baha’u'llah as the Creator’s guiding Voice and Spirit for this age. Today the 20th October, is the anniversary of the Báb’s birth, according to the Gregorian calendar, the date on which He was born in 1819 in the city of Shiráz, Iran.

The National Baha'i Council of Orthodox Baha'is of India, National Teaching Committee and Local Council of Thane and Mumbai extend the hearties greetings to all the Baha'is of the world.
On this special occasion we pray for the long life of beloved living guardian of the Baha'i Faith Joel Bray Marangella.

Who actually was Bab. Messiah, Prophet, Manifestation or God? And why next claimant of the prophet appeared so early. Who was Gholam Ahmad Qadiyani then? What is the status of Gauhar Shah of Pakistan? Can the Bahais answer these questions?

Dear Rasheed Ahmad,

The Bab was a Manifestation of God.
He together with Baha'u'llah ushered in the new Dispensation foretold in all the religions of God. In this day and age the appearance of Twin Manifestations of God is a sign of the greatness of this Day. I personally do not know about Gholam Ahmad Qadiyani or Gauhar Shah. But there are many great lesser prophets that appear in all ages.
Sincerely, Janice Franco

In 19th century Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani came with the holy book. He was the great prophet and Messaiah for the mankind. If without prejudice one investigates he will find that the cause and status of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is much higher than Bab or Baha.

Baha'u'llah was the manifestation of God and Qadyani was an imposter. If Qadyani was Mahdi then where are his followers? while the followers of Baha'u'llah are spread throughout the world! Even in the UN.

Mukhtar Ahmad said...

Say Ahmadiyyas not Qadiyanis. Ahmadiyyas are also spread all over the world. I think that Amy has little general knowledge. While Ghulam Ahmad was a true messiah or Mahdi, Baha'u'llah is an imposter and an agent of Israel (The head quarters of Baha'is) and America.The presence in UN doesn't prove the truthfulness of a religion.

I am an Ahmadi. What Mr Mukhtar Ahmad says is false. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadiyan did not come with any Holy Book.
