| Ḥájí Mírzá Ḥaydar-'Alí |
|
| Pronunciation: haw-gee-mere-zaw-hay-dar-al-lee |
|
| Redirected from: The Angel of Mount Carmel |
|
| Born into a S̲h̲ayk̲h̲í family of Iṣfáhán, Ḥaydar-'Alí was for a time a disciple of Karím K̲h̲án, the S̲h̲ayk̲h̲í opponent of the Báb. But after studying the Báb's Writings and seeing the behaviour of the martyrs, Ḥaydar-'Alí became a Bábí. When Bahá'u'lláh declared Himself to be the Promised One, Ḥaydar-'Alí accepted Him and met Bahá'u'lláh in Adrianople. He was sent to Egypt where the Persian consul had him arrested. At the end of ten years' imprisonment in the Sudan, he was sent by Bahá'u'lláh to Persia and Iraq where he spent some twenty-five years travelling throughout the land, encouraging and inspiring the Persian Bahá'ís. After the passing of Bahá'u'lláh, Ḥaydar-'Alí devoted himself to ‘Abdu'l-Bahá and was a staunch defender of the Covenant. He spent his last years in Haifa where he became known as ‘the Angel of Mount Carmel' and wrote his memoirs, The Delight of Hearts. He died in 1920 and is buried in the Bahá'í cemetery at the foot of Mount Carmel. |
