House of Bahá'u'lláh in Bag̲h̲dád | Copyright: 2013 H-Bahai | Bahá'í - House of Bahá'u'lláh in Bag̲h̲dád | The site of one of the foremost sacred Baha'i holy places, known as the the House of Baha'u'llah*, entitled The Most Great House, is the northern district of Bag̲h̲dád, ‘Iráq known as Al Kazimiyah or Kazmain District --- a District regarded as a holy area in S̲h̲í‘ah Islam. Musa al-Kazim, the Seventh Imam and his grandson, the Ninth Imam, Muḥammad at-Taqi, are both buried within the Al Kadhimiya Mosque-Shrine near to where the House of Baha'u'llah is located. S̲h̲í‘ah go on an annual pilgrimage to the Shrine in that district in August and September. The site of the House of Baha'u'llah remains in the possession of S̲h̲í‘ah leaders, known to be used as a pilgrimage hostel for those visiting the Shrine of the Holy Imams by Shí‘ah pilgrims, but off limits to the Baha'is. With recent political events in that country, and the re-establishment of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of ‘Iráq in 2004, after the banning of the Faith for over thirty years, could the House be returned in the coming years and become one of the foremost Baha'i Shrines and site of obligatory Bahá'í pilgrimage as envisioned by Bahá'u'lláh? *Update 27 June 2013: The Universal House of Justice announced in a letter dated 27 June 2013 , the destruction of the House of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad -- presumably by adversaries of the Baha'i Faith. |
