The Báb was a merchant from Shiraz in Qajar Iran who, in 1844 at the age of 25, began the Bábi Faith. His first religiously inspired experience, claimed and witnessed by his wife, is dated to about the evening of 3 April 1844. In April 1844, his wife Khadijih became the first to believe in his revelation. His declaration to Mullá Husayn followed on 22 May 1844, after the Baháʼí calendar's first year had begun. The supplied passages place these events in Shiraz, not Tehran.
