A Trilogy of Consecration: The Courier the Historian and the Missionary

This Trilogy presents the lives of Shaykh Salmán Nabíl-i-Azam and Mullá Ṣádiq three personages closely related to the early years of the Baháí Faith in Persia. Shaykh Salmán was Baháulláhs on-foot courier travelling annually between Persia and the Holy Land. Nabíl-i-Azam was the chronicler who carefully documented events of the Heroic Age of the Baháí Faith and a talented poet. Mullá Ṣádiq stood out as the one who travelled broadly disseminating the new Faith with wisdom dignity and grace. The first was illiterate while the second was a self-made scholar who started out in life as a shepherd whereas Mullá Ṣádiq came from an educated family of means. Empowered by faith certitude and love to Baháulláh these three men became a new creation the like of whom we rarely see in human existence. To their wonder amazing capacities and invincible powers became theirs which made it possible for them to endure the most formidable vicissitudes with an ever-increasing spirit of faith and certitude. After glimpsing the greatness of such a Message nothing had the power to deter them in their path of service - not age nor lack of means nor family circumstances nor the constant danger of being beaten and killed.
