Baha'ullah "Glory of God"; 12 November 1817 - 29 May 1892), was the founder of the Baha'i Faith. He claimed to be the prophetic fulfillment of Bábism, a 19th-century outgrowth of heretical sect, but in a broader sense claimed to be a messenger from God referring to the fulfillment of the eschatological expectations of Islam, Christianity, and other major religions.
