9 Qudrat 164 B.E. - Monday, November 12, 2007 about 10:23 AM PST
Baha'u'llah, a title which means the "Glory of God, was born on November 12, 1817 in the city of Tehran, Persia (now Iran). At birth he was given the name Husayn Ali and his father was Mirza Buzurg-i-Nuri. His father was a wealthy, a government minister and could trace his ancestry back to the dynasties of Persia's past.
Last night at the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas, Nevada we celebrated the Birth of Baha'u'llah. We celebrated with prayers, dancing (the youth performed for the community), singing and slide shows depicting the life of Baha'u'llah. This isn't a time of giving gift, but rather of prayer and praise.
There is a new website about Baha'u'llah. If you click on the title to this post you will be redirected to the site, The Life of Baha'u'llah.
