About this eBook

Author ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, 1844-1921
Title A Traveler's Narrative Written to Illustrate the Episode of the Báb
Summary "A Traveler's Narrative Written to Illustrate the Episode of the Báb" by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of the life and significance of the Báb, an important figure in the Baha'i Faith, as well as the social and political conflicts surrounding his teachings in Persia. This work aims to clarify the misconceptions and divergent narratives that have been recorded about the Báb, intent on presenting a coherent summary of the facts about his life and influence. The opening of the narrative establishes a foundation for understanding the Báb's life and the origins of the Bábí Faith. It begins by addressing the mixed accounts of the Báb's actions and teachings circulating in Persian history and European chronicles. The passage discusses the early life of the Báb, his transition from a merchant in Shiraz to a revered religious figure, and the reactions of prominent scholars and officials to his declarations of Báb-hood. Notably, it describes the conflicts that arose as the Báb gained followers, prompting violent reactions from established religious authorities and culminating in his eventual imprisonment and execution. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the Báb's teachings and the repercussions that followed his final days. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
