History of the Bahá'í Faith
It originates from the Iranian "Bab" doctrine. A traveler prophesied that soon Allah would send a Messenger and his name would be Baha'u'llah. They consider Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and the Bab to be the central figures of their religion.
In 1844, a different idea spread against Shi'ism in Iran. It first flourished under the leadership of Bahá'u'lláh. He was sentenced to death in 1850 for preaching false and contradictory doctrines against Islam . This doctrine gained popularity in the Iranian and Ottoman Empires.
It spread to Europe and America under the leadership of his son, Abdu'l-Bahá. 1921 is the year of Abdul Baha's death which is considered a revolutionary year for them. Said Ali Muhammad, who was known as 'Bab', also claimed to be Imam Mahdi.
