The Childhood of the Báb
The Báb, even in His earliest moments, was a child unlike any other. On the first day of the Islamic year, October 20th, 1819, a child was born in the city of Shíráz, in south-western Iran, that would come to change the world. In the upper chamber of His uncle’s house, He was brought into the world-His birth foretold by the vast expanse of time, by centuries that had long waited for such a soul. He was named Alí-Muhammad, after the Prophet Muhammad and His Successor, 'Alí. In this very house, the woman who would one day become His wife, Khadijah, was destined to be born as well.
His family was distinguished, their lineage tracing back to the martyr Husayn, and ultimately to the Prophet Muhammad Himself. His father, Muhammad-Ridá, though a cloth-seller by trade, came from a noble family, and His mother, Fátimih, carried a grace and dignity befitting their heritage. The family's respect in the region was renowned-not for their wealth, but for their integrity, their purity of heart, and their steadfast devotion to the highest ideals of truth and righteousness. The people of the region loved and revered them.
From the very start of His life, it was apparent that the Báb was not like other children. His mother often spoke of how He remained serene and unruffled, an angelic calmness surrounding Him even as an infant. There was no crying, no signs of displeasure. He did not demand the usual attention of a child; rather, His presence seemed to transcend earthly concerns. His mother, at times, would be overwhelmed with anxiety, unsure whether to be concerned by His unusual tranquility. But the Báb, even in those first years, was deeply connected to the Divine, and He exhibited a quiet certainty of His own purpose, a wisdom beyond His tender years.
As a small child, the Báb's behavior captivated all who encountered Him. Friends, strangers-everyone was struck by His extraordinary presence. Even at a mere few years of age, He would raise His hands to the heavens, reciting prayers that seemed far too mature for someone so young. In the stillness of the night, He would rise from His slumber to pray, His voice trembling with the devotion and sorrow of someone much older. There was a profound sense of otherworldliness about Him, as though His spirit was ever-attuned to the celestial realms. His moods would fluctuate between joy and sorrow, sometimes overwhelmed with rapture, at other times seeming lost in deep reflection.

By the grace of God, I attended the World Congress in NYC.
I was there too, a wonderful experience.
Your voice is very gentle and soft, thank you. Please make a longer meditation.
Thank you, that's very kind of you. ❤
No one should sadden another, even for a second. I must bear this in mind at all times.
So beautiful! Rest In Peace Jimmy Seals in the Seas of Light. Allah'u'Abha to all the Baha'is everywhere!

I have created a playlist of my favourite videos from your channel, and I watch them over and over. I always choose the videos that present Baha’i scripture in order to use them for my daily devotions.
I see you're created several great playlists, thank you so much for including some of mine. 🙏
Thank you again. I watch your videos regularly and do enjoy the wonderful visuals.
Thank you so much for watching & rewatching😉
Bravo!
Thank you for taking the time to watch, much appreciated!
A wonderful document indeed, thanks for making it available here! I specially treasured the portion about prayer. and I realised that at least one quotation from book 1 may be from this text. It is referenced as quoted by J.E. Esslemont in Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era. He might have taken it from this book.
That's interesting. It's been a long time since I read B.N.E., I'm just going from memory, but didn't the Master edit the first three chapters? I need to look into this. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautiful and soul-stirring. Thanks for creating this and sharing it with the rest of us.
Glad you found it and enjoy it, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.🌼
It would b good and or better if u stay the source?@@irenicvisuals3802
Your selection of quotes are beautiful thank you
Thank you for taking the time to comment, it helps the visibility of the video and is much appreciated. There are pearls everywhere one looks in the Bahá'í writings.😊
Beautiful song, love listening to it. First time I’ve seen this video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just to see her blessed face our hearts are soothed
Nice work. Great visuals and narration of the writings. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Thank you so much, I’ve listened to the original more than once. This sounds great!!
Thank you, when I came across the software that allowed me to restore audio, this talk was one of the first things that came to mind.
I cried twice as I was moved by this wonderful story and how it was presented. Thank you. I could relate to the cosmic mystical elements playing out in his life adventure and reflect on significant aspects of my own spiritual development. What fun and fulfilling it is to try and understand the meaning of our lives. Again, thank you so much!! ✨🙏
Thank you so much for sharing, yes it is a truly remarkable story. Comments such as yours make all the effort worthwhile. 🌞
Beautifully uplifting!🙏
Thank you Elham🌹
Wow I am blown away by your comprehensive, inclusive, sensitive, visually exquisite, artistic presentation of this vitally important topic. Once all fear is removed about dying then we can focus on living up to our potential to be as pure and noble beings as we can possibly be. I saw Renee's full video many years ago and it galvanised my soul to be true to my true self and to die to that insistant self that leads us astray. I wish your video gets a million likes and helps educate this unheeding generation to seek truth for itself and not follow in blind imitation current misunderstandings.
Thank you so much Helen for your beautiful comment, and you are so right about Reinee. I wish I could do a video version of some of the chapters of her book. Her book is so powerful - I highly recommend it. The Baha’i Faith and the NDE reinforce and confirm each other in so many ways. I could literally do six or seven more videos like this one without exhausting the subject. I’m of the opinion that the NDE can enhance our appreciation of the Baha’i Faith. For those who have experienced an NDE, the Baha’i Faith confirms everything in the core NDE described by Dr. Raymond Moody in his first book. Moreover, both have the same transformational effect - which was the primary point of this video - along with their description of what Abdu’l Baha called the spiritual realm, “the garden of reunion.” Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful an insightful comment.
Such exquisite visuals enhance the beauty of these stories which impact our hearts and expand our comprehension of spiritual realities at the centre of our love of God.
Thank you so much Helen, comments like yours make it worth the time it took to create this video👃❤
Best meditation I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much Elham for your kind message!🌹🌞

Abdu’l-Baha always speaks in such clear and logical ways.

Thanks Rick!
God, her eloquence and poise…her convincing rhetoric and sound logic. Her analysis of the times and of the threat to scientific Newtonian worldview. This is as close to prophecy as you’ll ever get. Let’s try to tune into our note and be among those “The Just!” I saw that she went home in 2020. Rest well Reinee you helped many and used your gifts well. You’re family should be so proud ❤️
Beautifully expressed. It's hard to believe, but her book takes her account to the next level. Highly recommend it.
Thank you so much fior your wonderful channel. It's perfect , inspiring , educational and uplifting. Beautiful comforting visuals as well. ❤
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, and for watcching & taking the time to comment.🌹
I have been a Baha'i over 50 years and have longed for us to enrich and enhance the exquisite Words of Baha'u'llah with visual and auditory visuals such as you are now doing. May the divine affirmations confirm your efforts. Many thanks.❤

The Tomp of Salladin is in Damasqus not in Palestine. Or is he talking about different Salladin and not Sallahudin Eyubi.
The Mausoleum of Saladin holds the resting place and grave of the medieval Muslim Ayyubid Sultan Saladin. It is adjacent to the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria.[1] It was built in 1196, three years after the death of Saladin.[2] In addition to the tomb, the tomb complex included Madrassah al-Aziziah, of which little remains, except a few columns and an internal arch adjacent to the renovated tomb.[3] The mausoleum presently houses two sarcophagi: one made of wood, said to contain Saladin's remains, and one made of marble, was built in homage to Saladin in late nineteenth century by Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II and was later restored by German emperor Wilhelm II.[4][5] from Wikipedia
This made me really appreciate how forrtunate we are to have so many original documented sources. Even a journalist in his hotel room a few hours after a conversation got so many things wrong. Imagine in the distant past when the teachings were shared orally for decades and written down🤔half a century later. We are indeed most fortunate.
The description of the suffering and persecution is attributed to his father, Bahá’u’lláh as the prophet founder of the Baha’i Faith.
Yes, he got quite a few things wrong, but it was nice to hear the impression of someone who wasn't himself a Bahá'í, yet still was so moved by the Master.
Yes he wasn’t a Profit. The perfect Exemplar of the teachings of his Father Bahaullah, the Founder of the Baha’i Faith
There happened to be three religious groups to which this area is very important. There are the Muslims there are other Jews there are other Christians and there's a fourth one the Baha'i.
Long history for sure, they even discovered remains of Neanderthals on Mt. Carmel.
Good prayer.
Thank you for conducting all the research for this video and then creating it!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thank you for digitizing and placing this talk on TH-cam for others to hear. I have a VHS copy of this talk from the 1980s and the content stirred my interest in the worlds beyond this life. I served as an EMT for 5 years and treated maybe a dozen patients in accidents/heart attacks who ultimately were pronounced dead in the ER. Having listened to Reniee's description of her NDE I began repeating prayers for the patients we were working on with hopes they might provide some comfort to the them as their soul moved onward.
Thank you for sharing that Scott, that's beautiful what you did! Her book is available on Amazon and you will love it, so powerful.
I enjoyed listening to this. An uplifting recounting with many interesting details.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amen oh sweet alomands
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us!
You are most welcome, it was a wonderful surprise for me too when I recently came across this gem. Thanks for taking the time to comment.🌼🌷🌼
Lovely, strong women, both-- true servants. Thank you for this tribute--- so well done.
Thank you too!
BAB and BAHA-ULLAH should not have been cruelly persecuted. Their message /faith was not cruel at all. They were asking people to do good things--- not evil things.
Thank you, the message is a call to unity with an empahsis on justice, love, and the unfettered search after truth.
BAHA-ISM faith seems to be all- inclusive. Bab and BAHA-ULLAH should not have been persecuted by PERSIAN /IRANIAN society.
