DECLARATION OF THE BÁB (May 23)
Sammamish, WA, On May 22, the Bahá’ís of Sammamish will join Bahá’ís throughout the world in observing the anniversary of the Declaration of the Báb, the Prophet-Herald of the Bahá’í Faith. The Sammamish Bahá’í community’s cerebration of the Declaration of the Báb will be held on Sunday night, at 9:30 p.m., at Eastside Baha’i Center in Bellevue (16007 Northeast 8th). The event is open to the general public. The program commemorates the night of May 23, 1844 when a young man named Mirza ‘Alí-Muhammad declared, in Shiraz, Persia, that he was a prophet of God. He stated that his mission was to prepare the world for the appearance of the Lord of the Age-“Him Whom God shall make manifest.” He took the title, “The Báb,” which means, “The Gate,” and proclaimed that he was the herald of a new cycle in human history, the forerunner of another prophet who would soon usher in an age of world unity and peace. The first disciple of the Báb later wrote of the night when the Báb first declared his mission, “I sat spellbound by His utterance, oblivious of time and of those who awaited me. All the delights, all the ineffable glories, which the almighty has recounted in His Book as the priceless possessions of the people of Paradise-these I seemed to be experiencing.” The Baha'i Faith, founded in
Persia in 1844, is the youngest of the world's independent monotheistic religions
and is one of the fastest-growing, with approximately 170,000 members
throughout the United States and more than five million in the world. |
