Baha'u'llah - The King of Kings

Mansion of Baha'u'llah's father
This story is about a boy Who grew to be the latest Prophet of God. He came to the world as promised by God to Abraham, to Moses and to Jesus; also, to Muhammad, Krishna and Buddha.

We all know that a king is someone who is in charge of a whole country, much like a father who looks after members of his family. Today, in most countries, we have democracies. A democracy is governed by all its people instead of by a king. But a hundred years ago kings were so strong in many countries that they did as they pleased, without thinking about what would be good for the people in their land. This story will tell about Husayn-'Ali, later called, Baha'u'llah, Someone God sent to tell the kings and rulers of the world how they should behave toward the people.

As Husayn-'Ali was growing up, everyone knew He was no ordinary child. When He was a boy of thirteen, He used to talk with the wise and learned men who visited His father's house. They had studied religion for many years and although He had not gone to school, He was able to understand what they were talking about and even explained difficult questions to them.

What surprised the learned men as much as Husayn-Ali’s knowledge was His politeness. He was always mild and courteous and His father’s friends wanted to keep on talking to Him.
