The Bab is the first trumpet Call 1844

    "Never before has there been such fantastic possibilities to study the birth of a World Religion.
'The storm that were raging around the Bab were more fierce and more violent than the one that was raging around the Originator of Christianity and many historians have written about the bitter persecution that His adherents were exposed to, the heroic deeds He inspired them to and about His own irresistable charm and radiant personality.'                                                                     (David Hofman)
                                                                                                                                      
Concerning the events that followed Babs Proclamation in 1844 posterity has been given elaborate reports, some of which are:
M.Zarandi Nabil: 'The Dawn-Breakers. Original from 1892. It contains reports by eyewitnesses and is an voluminous, historic document, rich in details,
George Townshend: 'The Promise of all Ages. 1934.
Shoghi Effendi: 'God Passes By' 1944.
John Ferraby:'All things made new' 1957.
David Hofman:'The Renewal of Civilization 1946.
William Sears:'Release the Sun'. 'Thief in the Night'. 1961.'The Wine of Astonishment' 1963.

The most important Scripts by the Bab are gathered in the 'Bayan (=Explanation).
In letters to the Shah the Bab  delivered His Message about progress and reforms. Letters of this kind He also wrote to the prime minister and all the leaders within the  moslem clergy. In 1844, when He went to Mekka and Medina, He brought with Him His Announcement in the form of a handwritten book of documents to the foremost leaders in the world of Islam and offered them education about the renewed truth. But they were occupied by other things; He referred to the Bible, the Couran and other Holy Scriptures, He taught and appealed to reason; this was the Day of the Great Announcment, the Gate of Dawn was now opened, the first trumpet call was sounded and soon the second call would follow.( Bahaullahs appearance) He sacrificed everything that mankind would be awakened  and see the Truth. He brought the Greatest of gifts; but all since  times immemorial that gift, the truth of the Prophet of God has never been neutral, it is explosive and arouses an awful lot of resistance and hatred. Religious truth, newly revealed, has  always been the opposite of the worn out clichées of its contemporaries and is always challenging the old crumbling order of society. Therefore 'The Son of Man ' from Nasareth was crusified; therefore the' camel chief' from Mekka was persecuted and tortured and therefore the Bab was beaten, scorned and executed.
But every thoughtful person, who studies history, can see that all the monoteistic Prophets of God have been the greatest Inspirers in all progressiv and positive creativity.
Today the 'script rolls are unfolded', and we have  the experience of thousands of years at our fingertips and we can judge by the past how men have created disasters and catastrophes through falsification of religion.'

Bab ended the old prephetic cycle, which began with Adam.

Bab opened the Gate to the new cycle.

Bab proclaimed the arrival of 'Him Whom God shall Make Manifest'.

It was the youth who rose against the conservative  aristocracy and the ungodly tyranny of the clergy.

Bab gave guidance about the  quickening Forces that was flowing through the heart of the universe, so that a New World Order could be erected.
