The Apostles of Bahá’u’lláh lived during a time of intense physical suffering when thousands of Bábís and Bahá’ís in Persia were imprisoned, tortured and martyred. Their own stories are filled with severe tests and persecution, and yet they gleam with transcendent qualities: complete detachment from the things of this world, tranquillity and steadfastness in the face of bitter opposition, sacrifice of everything except their faith in the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, and an indomitable passion for teaching the Faith at all costs. This book explores the lives of these 19 inspiring souls designated as ‘Apostles of Bahá’u’lláh’ in the photo montage compiled for the Bahá’í World Volumes by Shoghi Effendi.
