Commemorate
Prophet-founder
. On May 29 Baha'is around the
world, commemorated the Ascen-
sion of Baha'u'llah, Prophet-Fotin
der of the Baha'i Faith. On this day
in 1892 at the age of ,75 years
Baha'u'llah . passed on to the
heavenly kingdom. He had spent
more than forty years of his life in
exile and in prison ,because of his
teachings. The final years of his
life were spent as a prisoner of the
Turkish government at Bahji, near
the prison city of Acca in what is
today Israel. At Bahji is lOcated the
tomb of Baha'u'llah, considered
holy shrine and a place Of
pilgrimage bY Bahals. •
Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah
is the latest in a series of divine
messengers sent by God since the
beginning, of mankind's existence
on the earth. They believe that he
fulfils the promises and prophecies
left to, mankind in the holy
scriptures of the divine messengers
of the past. They regard his
teachings and laws as necessary for
the realization of world peace,
world unity and the Kingdom, of
,God on earth.
Among the last tablets revealed
by Baha'u'llah is his will and
testament, In' this document
Abdu'l-Baha, his eldest son, was
appointed his successor and the
centre Of his covenant • with
mankind. This will and testament,
is unique in the history of mankind,
for never before had a messenger
of God 'so explicitly established a
conversant to be the foundation and
protection of his faith. Ndr had a
divine messenger till this time
named a successor whOse purpose
was to keep pure his word,
preserve the unity of his folldwers
and prevent sectarianism and
corruption. It is on this rock of the
covenant that a new world order is.
being built.
Baha'is do not have pictures or
photographs of Baha'u'llah. He
wished that the. Baha'is' worship
God, rather than ' himself, a
messenger'of God. A messenger of
God is a reflector of the perfections
of God, not himself the perfection
which is God alone.
The followers of Baha'u'llah,
called Baha'is, are now established
in over 330 countries and territories
around- the globe. The writings -of
Baha'u'llah have' been 'translated
into over 570' languages.
