Mírzá Músá

	Mírzá Músá Mírzá Músá (‎; d. 1887) was the only full brother of Baháʼu'lláh, meaning that they shared the same mother and father. He was later named by Shoghi Effendi as one of the nineteen Apostles of Baháʼu'lláh. The life of Mírzá Músá was so bound up with that of Baháʼu'lláh himself, that his life and background mirror the life and travels of Baháʼu'lláh. He was an integral part of correspondence between Baháʼu'lláh and the Baháʼís. He experienced the same imprisonment, exile, assaults, and degrading circumstances that were given to the small band of family members associated with Baháʼu'lláh and ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. Mírzá Músá remained a loyal and faithful follower until he died. Baháʼu'lláh used Mírzá Músá as an example to show his respect for the law. When an official expressed hesitation to inflict punishment on one of the followers of Baháʼu'lláh who had committed a crime, he replied: :"Tell him, no one in this world can claim any relationsh ...

	Apostles Of Baháʼu'lláh The Apostles of Baháʼu'lláh were nineteen prominent followers of Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith. The apostles were designated as such by Shoghi Effendi, head of the religion in the earlier half of the 20th century, and the list was included in ''The Baháʼí World'', Vol. III (pp. 80–81). These individuals played a vital role in the development of the Baháʼí Faith, consolidating its adherents and bringing its teachings around the world. To Baháʼís, they filled a similar role as the sons of Jacob, the apostles of Jesus, Muhammad's companions, or the Báb's Letters of the Living. List of Apostles Many of the stories of the Apostles are well known to Baháʼís. The names of the apostles were: # Mírzá Músá - a.k.a. Kalím, the brother of Baháʼu'lláh # Badíʻ - a.k.a.

He was born in Tehran to an aristocratic family. At the age of eight, his father was imprisoned during a government crackdown on the Bábí Faith and the family's possessions were looted, leaving them in virtual poverty. His father was exiled from their native Iran, and the family established their residence in Baghdad in Iraq, where they stayed for ten years.

picture info	Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí ( 16 December 1853 – 10 December 1937) was the second surviving son of Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith, and the first from Baháʼu'lláh's second wife Fatimih. He is well-known for an attempted schism in which he claimed leadership over his half-brother ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, and was rejected by the overwhelming majority of Baháʼís, who regard him as a Covenant-breaker. The only result of his unsuccessful leadership attempt was to alienate most of the family of Baháʼu'lláh from ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. His schism was short lived and no longer exists; by the 1960s his descendants had largely melded into Muslim society and had no collective religious life. Muhammad ʻAlí was born in Baghdad among the group of Iranians exiled from Iran for their adherence to the Bábí Faith. He would follow the family into further exiles into Istanbul, Edirne, and `Akka. As a teenager in Edirne, he began transcribing the writings of Baháʼu'lláh, and att ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
