First of four volumes on the Writings of the Founder of the Baha'i Faith during His forty-year ministry, describing their contents, including much as yet un-translated, with fascinating descriptions of the circumstances of the time and the persons addressed. Volume 1 covers Baha'u'llah's period of exile in Baghdad, 1853-63.
The Revelation of Baha'u'llah
The ‘Revelation of Baha’u’llah’ comprises of four volumes. As the pages turn, Adib Taherzadeh lifts veil after veil for us, so we can gaze at the countenance of Baha'u'llah, whom the western scholar, Professor E.G. Browne, described as "One Who is the object of a devotion and love which kings might envy and emperors sigh for in vain.” These volumes unveil the Beauty and Majesty of Baha’u’llah. Adib Taherzadeh masterfully uses his pen to show the magnetic personality of Baha’u’llah. The love emanating from Baha’u’llah hugs your soul, and you realize, that you have come home, after your long, and weary wandering, making you fall in love with Him.Adib Taherzadeh follows the journey of Baha’u’llah from the prison of Siyah Chal, to Bahji, his final resting place. He welcomes us with humility, to behold the unfoldment of a glorious new day of God. Baha’u’llah himself describes “This is the King of Days, the Day that hath seen the coming of the Best Beloved, ... the Desire of the World."
My favorite series of the life of Bahá’u’lláh
I first read this series in my teen years and have revisited it occasionally to refresh my memory. I usually recommend this series to young people or new Baha’is who ask for books with more details about the full history of the life of Bahá’u’lláh. Taherzadeh is a fantastic author and the stories add details that help one fall in love with the Person of Bahá’u’lláh and His Family. A necessary element of every Baha’i library.
