Bahá'u'lláh (ba-haa-ol-laa "Glory of God") (
November 12,
1817 -
May 29,
1892), born Mírzá usayn-`Alí , was the founder of the
Bahá'í Faith. He claimed to fulfill the
Bábí prophecy of "
He whom God shall make manifest", but in a broader sense he also claimed to be the "supreme Manifestation of God"., referring to the fulfillment of the
eschatological expectations of a
prophetic cycle beginning with
Adam, and including
Abrahamic religions, as well as
Zoroastrianism, the
Indian religions, and others. Bahá'ís see Bahá'u'lláh as the initiator of a new religion, as
Jesus or
Muhammad — but also the initiator of a new cycle, like that attributed to Adam.
