Baha’u’llah is the prophet of the Baha’i Faith. His name means “Glory of God” in Arabic. Baha’u’llah was wealthy, but was a devout person and did not want that life. He became a Babi, or a follower of the Babi Faith that said a new prophet was coming.

He was arrested for his faith, along with other Babis. They were placed in the Ciyah-Chal (the Black Pit). It was a deep, dark, underground prison. This is where he received his first revelation from God that He was to be the new prophet. He is the only prophet to have written His faith’s holy book.
