| Ashraf |
|
| Pronunciation: ash-raff |
|
| A Bahá'í martyr whose steadfastness, as well as that of his mother, known as Umm-i-Ashraf (Mother of Ashraf), was often praised by Bahá'u'lláh. Ashraf, the son of a martyr, was born in the besieged fort of Zanján. He was arrested as a Bábí, sentenced to death and brutally beaten, yet refused to recant his faith. His mother was brought to the prison to persuade him to recant in order to save his life, but instead she told her son that she would disown him if he denied his belief. Áqá Siyyid As̲h̲raf was martyred in 1870. |
