Bahá'u'lláh was the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. He was born in 1817 to Khadíjih Khánum and Mírzá Buzurg of Nur (in the province of Mazandaran), a Persian nobleman, and went on to be a leader in the Bábí movement, and then established the Bahá'í Faith in 1863.〔 Bahá'u'lláh's family consists of his three wives and the children of those wives. ==Titles of descendants== One of Bahá'u'lláh's titles is Sadratu'l-Muntahá, which translates from Arabic as ''the tree beyond which there is no passing'' (a quote from Qur'an 53:14). In this connection, Bahá'u'lláh entitled his descendants with terms relating to the Sadratu'l-Muntahá. His male descendants were given the title of Aghsán (Arabic for "Branches") which in singular form is "''Ghusn''". In particular, three of his sons were given specific "branch" titles: * `Abdu'l-Bahá (given name, Abbás): ''Ghuṣn-i-A`ẓam'' ((アラビア語:الغصن الأعظم) "The Most Great Branch").〔 * Mírzá Muhammad `Alí: ''Ghuṣn-i-Akbar'', ((アラビア語:الغصن الأکبر) "The Greater Branch").〔〔''Ghusn-i-A‘ẓam'' and ''Ghusn-i-Akbar'' can both be translated as "the great branch", "the greater branch" or "the most great branch". ''A‘ẓam'' carries a higher status in Arabic (see , or ), so Bahá'í authors and others translate `Abdu'l-Bahá's title as "Most Great" and Muhammad `Alí's title as "Greater" (Taherzadeh, 2000, p. 256.). The designations of ''Ghusn-i-A‘ẓam'' and ''Ghusn-i-Akbar'' are clear. (Browne, 1918, p. 61, & p. 85 ())〕 * Mírzá Mihdí: ''Ghuṣn-i-Athar'', ((アラビア語:الغصن الأطهر) "The Purest Branch").〔 His daughters were given the title of ''Varaqat'' (translated from Arabic as "Leaves"). Thus Bahá'u'lláh's eldest daughter, Bahíyyih (given name, Fatimih), was given the title of the ''Greatest Holy Leaf''. During Bahá'u'lláh's lifetime, he referred to his eldest son, Abbás, by terms such as "Sirru'lláh" (Mystery of God), or "Sarkár-i-Áqá" (the Master). After the death of Bahá'u'lláh, he chose the title "`Abdu'l-Bahá" (Servant of Bahá). Bahá'u'lláh did not give his descendants any direct right to the property of others.〔 This contrasts with Shi'a Islam in which sayyids were given special financial entitlements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bahá'u'lláh's family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
