Subh-e Azal

Early Life

Mirza Yahya Nuri (1831–1912), also known as Subh-e Azal, was born in Tehran, Iran. His father, Mirza Abbas Nuri, was a telegrapher and public worker who resigned from his office in 1837 or 1839. After his father's resignation, the family faced financial difficulties, and his mother died around 1844.

Association with Bábism

Subh-e Azal was among the first supporters of the Bábí movement in Tehran in 1844, at the age of 14. He later attempted to join the underground movement under Sheikh Tabarsi in Mazandaran, where he maintained contact with the Báb, who was imprisoned in Azerbaijan.

Succession and Legacy

Subh-e Azal is considered the successor of the Bábí movement, although his relationship with the Báb's teachings and legacy is complex. He is also known as the founder of the Eternal Religion of Bábism. His brother-in-law, Mirza Husayn Ali Nuri (also known as Bahá'u'lláh), would later become a prominent figure in the Baha'i Faith.

Name and Meaning

The title "Subh-e Azal" is derived from Arabic, meaning "Morning of Eternity". It is also sometimes translated as "Aurora of Eternity".

Death

Mirza Yahya Nuri passed away on April 29, 1912, in Famagusta, Cyprus.
