After recent events, Iran has returned to the forefront of global news. Its main religious minority is the Bahá'í Faith, born in the mid-19th century in that country. According to many connoisseurs of Iranian society and history, the Bahá'ís have proven to be, in a century and a half, the great social and moral force capable of modernizing and democratizing that country, cradle of one of the most splendid civilizations in history. Its followers, however, have been and continue to be victims of great atrocities.

Tras los acontecimientos recientes, Irán ha vuelto al primer plano de la actualidad mundial. Su principal minoría religiosa es, después del islam, la Fe Bahá'í, nacida a mediados del siglo XIX en ese país. Según muchos conocedores de la sociedad e historia iraníes, los bahá'ís han demostrado ser, en un siglo y medio, la gran fuerza social y moral capaz de modernizar y democratizar a ese país, cuna de una de las civilizaciones más esplendorosas de la historia. Sus adeptos, sin embargo, han sido y siguen siendo víctimas de las mayores atrocidades por parte de la República Islámica.

This book, edited by Dr. Vahid Rafati, contains the account of the renown Sháh Khalil'u'lláh Fáráni on the history of the inception and development of the Bahá'í Faith in the city of Tún-Ferdows, applauded by Bahá'u'lláh as Fárán (Holy Spot where every Prophets received His Revelation-a holy spot wherein the divine attributes manifest), at the instruction of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith. The book also includes all the Tablets revealed by the Central Figures of the Faith to the Bahá'ís of Fárán and to the family of Sháh Khalil'u'lláh and his family.
