Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri, from "Baha" to "Baha’u’llah"

Mirza Hussain Ali Nouri founded the Bahá'í Faith by attributing himself to a Bábí origin and by claiming to have been chosen by God in the position of Man Yazhraul Allah (the promise of the Báb and the abrogator of his religion). He was first known as "Bahá" among the Bábís, and after rejecting the Báb religion, he called himself "Bahá'u'lláh". In the gathering of Badasht Valley, Qurrat Al-Ain gave him the title of "Baha", but this title was used by the Bab for someone else, and the Bab referred to him only with the alphabetical equivalent of "Hussein Ali", i.e. 238. Also, for some of his prominent followers, the Bab chose a name from the Names of Allah, which was the same as their name, as their nickname and called them "Names of Allah". Therefore, in the eyes of the Bab, Mirza Hussein Ali was not among his prominent followers who did not give him a nickname. This article aims to show that neither the title "Bahá" nor the title "Bahá'u'lláh" can be applied to him in all the Báb's teachings.
