Definition von baha' ullah im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
- orig. Mrz oseyn Ali Nr born Nov. 12, 1817, Tehrn, Iran died May 29, 1872, Acre, Palestine Iranian religious leader, founder of the Bah faith. A Shite Muslim who allied himself with the Bb, he joined his half brother Mrz Yay (known as ob-e Azal) in leading the Bb movement after the Bb's execution. Sunnite Muslims exiled him to Baghdad, Kurdistan, and finally Constantinople, where in 1867 he declared himself the imam-mahdi foretold by the Bb and sent by God. This pronouncement split Bbism into two factions, with a small group (the Azal) adhering to its original beliefs and a larger group following him into what became the Bah faith. The Ottoman government banished him to Acre where, as Bah Ullh, he developed Bah into a teaching that advocated the unity of all religions and universal human brotherhood
