Authenticity
[edit]
The authenticity of this image of Bahá'u'lláh is doubtful. It is probably arranged by the authorities of the Ottoman Empire, which hold Bahá'u'lláh in captivity. A proof is the beard, which is almost grey in this picture from 1868. Western researchers who met Bahá'u'lláh ten years later say that his beard was jet black. The real Bahá'u'lláh has never been photographed. The only painting of Bahá'u'lláh shows a man with eyes almost identical with the eyes of his oldest son – 'Abdu'l-Bahá (who has been photographed and painted many times.) The man on the picture here is probably a younger half-brother to Bahá'u'lláh. /Caspianx —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Caspiax (talk • contribs) at 15:03, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Rename
[edit]
I don't know whether it's authentic, but I disagree with the proposed rename because the Wikipedia article is at Bahá'u'lláh. Note also that Wikipedia and Wikimedia are not censored, and we will not rename it simply to cater to a particular religion. Superm401 - Talk 00:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
