The Báb, born as Siyyid 'Ali Muhammad Shirazi in 1819, emerged as a key figure in Persia, proclaiming a new message that challenged the existing religious order. His teachings, which called for the coming of a new prophet that would fulfill the spiritual aspirations of humankind, gained a considerable following within Persia, sparking fear among the Shia Muslim rulers and clerics who perceived him as a significant threat to their authority. Arrested multiple times, the Báb was ultimately put on trial for heresy and insurrection against the state. On the morning of July 9, 1850, in Tabriz, following a failed assassination attempt on the Shah, the Báb was brought forth for his execution. In a dramatic confrontation, he and a group of his followers were lined up to be shot. His brave demeanor in the face of death became a hallmark of his legacy. The soldiers, however, found the Báb to be unscathed even after the initial volley but shot him again, ultimately leading to his death. His execution did not silence the Bábí movement; rather, it became a catalyst for the growth of the Bahá'í Faith, founded by Báb's follower, Bahá'u'lláh, who viewed Báb's martyrdom as a fulfillment of prophecy and a pivotal moment in the spiritual transformation of humanity.
