Nabil’s Narrative, The Dawn Breakers, is a primary source for Baha’i History and was recommended by The Beloved Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, as a book to be studied by Baha’i youth, as well as a path providing depth to adults who wish to know the details of the emergence of the Baha’i Faith. The Dawn Breakers is replete with vignettes of both amazing, if not miraculous, happenings contrasted with the suffering of followers of the Báb.
The volume recounts stories about individual Letters of The Living, details of the battle at Shaykh Tabarsi, and the momentous effect of the Bábi Faith arriving as an spiritual storm to a society controlled by a clergy class.
Nabil recognized himself as a pivotal chronicler of the events transpiring and recorded each detail and identity so that future generations would have a genuine history of the Faith and not one written down centuries after the event. This is a book of priceless value.
