This book is the masterful Farsi translation of the second edition (2017, GRBooks) of the book from English by Dr. Abdu'l-Missagh Ghadirian. It examines the materialist concept of life and its destructive damage to individuals' welfare and societies' well-being worldwide. Material philosophy believes that matter takes precedence over mind and soul. According to such a concept, the human mind, consciousness, and soul are by-products of matter, and those who believe otherwise are "idealists." On the contrary, the Baha’i teachings advocate a logical and moderate balance between spiritual and material life as two pillars of a just civilization.

This book contains ten chapters each written by a scholar in this field - including Mojan Momen, Fereydun Vahman, and Nader Saeedi, compiled and edited by Dr. Fereydun Vahman. The book reveals the emergence of a new religion in nineteenth century Iran and its revolutionary teachings that, with the passion and sacrifice of its adherents, gradually penetrated Iranian society. Despite more than one and a half centuries of violent persecution, this religion not only continued to exist but also transformed and spread beyond the borders of Iran in the form of the Bahá’í Faith.

The importance of this unique work cannot be overstated. Firstly, because it is a lasting tribute of our generation to the Báb’s bicentenary birth, and secondly because of its original and novel contents on the Báb and the Bábí community of Iran. In Persian.
