Báb Quotes

A collection of quotes by Báb.

Báb, whose birth name was Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad, was born in Persia (present-day Iran) in 1819. He was the founder of the Bábí Faith, a religious movement that emerged as a forerunner to the Bahá'í Faith. The Báb claimed to be the bearer of a divine message and fulfilled prophecies of the coming of a new Prophet. His teachings emphasized spiritual transformation and the imminent arrival of a Promised One. His rapid following posed a challenge to the Persian authorities, leading to severe persecution. Báb was eventually executed in 1850, but his teachings had a significant impact on later religious movements in Persia and beyond.
