Bábís |
 | | After his revelation then, Mirza Ali Muhammed soon assumed the higher title of Nuqta[?] ("Point"), and the title Báb, thus left vacant, was conferred on his ardent disciple, Mullá Husayn[?], but He was generally still referred to as "The Báb" by non-Bábiis and is thus still referred to that way today. |
 | | The Báb was succeeded on his death by Mirza Yahyâ of Nur (at that time only about twenty years of age), who escaped to Bagdad, and, under the title of Subh-i-Ezel (the Morning of Eternity),'became the pontiff of the sect. |
 | | Mirza Husayn 'Ali, entitled Bahá'u'llah ("the Glory of God")', who thus gradually became the most conspicuous and most influential member of the sect, though in the Iqan, one of the most important polemical works of the Bábis[?], composed in 1858-1859, he still implicitly recognized the supremacy of Subh-i-Ezel. |
