\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Prince Dalgourki” tried hard to overthrow “Mirza Taghi Khan Amir the Great” cooperated with” Mahd Oliya” (the Shah’s mother) to support the Babis particularly “Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri<\/a><\/span>” (Bahaullah). He made “Mirza Agha Khan Nouri” return. The one who was hated at “Mirza Aghasi’s” period of time and had been exiled and made him be the chancellor. So, Mirza Agha Khan Nouri was always thanking and helping him.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mirza Agha Khan Nouri (E\u2019temad Al-Doleh Nouri) was appointed as the chancellor\u2026 Thus, he wrote a letter to the Excellency Bahaullah and invited him to Tehran city. He headed off towards Tehran after receiving the letter and entered into Tehran city in the lunar month of Rajab. Mirza Agha Khan sent his brother “J’afar Qoli Khan to welcome the Excellency Bahaullah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Excellency Bahaullah resided in the minister’s brother’s house for a month and the chancellor commissioned his brother to entertain the Excellency (Kashani, 1268: 239).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri (Bahaullah) thanked the Czar government by naming his daughter “Bahieh” because the Iranian government was previously called Ellyieh and Britain as Fakhimeh and Russia<\/a> as Bahiyeh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri sought asylum to Russian embassy, he promised to call his religion as Baha’i. Not only the Excellency Mirza kept his promise, but also the called his daughter as Bahiyeh to prove his serving to the Russian government (Mostafavi, 1297: 239).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In Bagdad city, the two brothers (Hussein Ali Nouri and Yahya Sobhi Azal) had disagreements with each other and each brother insulted the other one. At those days, Bahaullah (Hussein Ali Nouri) claimed for being \u201cthe one whom God will manifest\u201d. Due to disagreements, the two brothers had to emigrate to Aderneh, Ottoman. They had disagreements there too and the Ottoman government had to separate the two brothers. Azalis were exiled to Cyprus and the Baha’is to Acre. Azalis were destroyed after Mirza Yahya Sobhi Azal’s death, but the emigration of the Baha’is can be considered as the onset of their activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalgouski writes in his diary: A part of the embassy’s job was limited to providing tablets and managing the activities. As soon as there was disagreement between Mirza Hussein Ali and Mirza Sobhi Anal, Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri became the one in whom God will manifest, but he was uneducated to read the tablets we had provided (Avareh, 1918-1921 : 239).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Later on, Mirza Hussein Ali claimed for prophethood and then for divinity.<\/strong><\/p>\n
