The Báb

The Báb was a religious leader and the founder of Bábism in the mid-19th century Persia (Iran). His teachings centered on renewing and advancing the spiritual and social principles of Islam, emphasizing divine justice and unity among humanity. The Báb declared himself a messenger guiding humanity toward a new revelation and prepared the way for his successor, Bahá'u'lláh, who founded the Bahá'í Faith. His movement faced persecution, and he was executed in 1850. The Báb's teachings continue to influence millions and promote ideals of peace, unity, and spiritual growth.
