Baha'u'llah's Vision of Universal Peace and Unity

Baha'u'llah

Born in Tehran in 1817, Baha'u'llah was the founder of the Baha'i Faith. Initially a prominent follower of Babism, he faced severe persecution, imprisonment in the Siyáh-Chál, and eventual exile throughout the Ottoman Empire. In 1863, he announced his divine mission as the fulfillment of the Bab's prophecies. He authored core texts like the Kitáb-i-Íqán and Kitáb-i-Aqdas, advocating global peace, religious unity, and human equality until his death in Bahjí in 1892.
