词汇 | bahaism |
词源 | Bahaism. Bahaism is an Iranian religion with an Oriental mystical quality that specifically reflects the attitudes of the Is- lamic Shiah sect, emphasizing religious tolerance. Founded by a Shirez merchant who was executed for heresy in 1850, the re- ligion was named for its founder’s leading disciple, known as Baha Allah, who gave it a worldwide following. Baha Allah, in turn, means “splendor of God” in Persian. The Bahais have been persecuted in Iran since the fundamentalists took power in 1979. |
