General facts
The Cause found birth in 1844 when a Persian youth, the "Bab", proclaimed this to be the "New Day" of social and spiritual reconstruction, and himself the "forerunner" of one who would be the centre of spiritual force, through which the world would be awakened. (HB 1929)
La doctrine a pris naissance en 1844, date à laquelle un jeune
Persan, le « Bab », a proclamé que le « nouveau Jour » de la reconstruction sociale et
spirituelle était venu et que lui-même précédait Celui qui serait le centre de la force spirituelle par laquelle le monde serait éveillé. En 1863, Baha'u'llah déclara qu'il était celui
qu'attendaient toutes les religions. Il est mort en exil à Akka (Palestine), ayant apporté mie révélation nouvelle et établi les fondations d'un ordre mondial nouveau qui donne la solution des problèmes de race et des problèmes sociaux et économiques de notre temps. (HB 1936).

In 1863 Baha'u'Uah declared Himself to be the Promised One of all religions. He died in exile, in Akka, Palestine, having brought a new Revelation and laid the foundations of a New World Order giving a solution of racial, social and economic problems for this Age. (HB 1938)
