" "I am one of the sustaining pillars of the Primal Word of God.

About Báb
The Báb باب [Siyyid `Alí Muhammad سيد علی محمد ] (20 October 1819 – 9 July 1850) the founder of Bábism, was a merchant from Shiraz, Persia, who at the age of twenty-four claimed to be a new and independent Manifestation of God and the promised Qá'im (or Mahdí). After his declaration he took on the title of the Báb meaning the "Gateway", by which he is primarily known. Several years after the Báb's execution by firing squad Bahá'u'lláh claimed to fulfill his prophecy of "He whom God shall make manifest " and founded the Bahá'í Faith.

Glorified is He before Whom all the dwellers of earth and heaven bow down in adoration and unto Whom all men turn in supplication.
