Bahá’u’lláh arrives in Baghdad

Bahá’u’lláh and His family arrived in Baghdad on 8 April 1853. The followers of the Báb increasingly turned to Bahá’u’lláh and found in His utterances the same spirit they had found in the Báb's teachings. The nobility of His character, the wisdom of His counsel, and the loving-kindness that He showered upon all revived the Bábí community.
