Although Babism and the Baha'i Faith share a history, they are two separate religions. In 1844 a young Persian merchant proclaimed himself to be "the Bab" (the Gate), a Messenger from God whose mission was to unseal the Sacred Texts of the past and to prepare the world for the imminent appearance of "One greater than" himself "Whom God will make manifest." His major Book was called the Bayan ("the Explanation"). His ministry lasted seven years and His followers were known as the Bab'is. Within a year after the Bab's martyrdom, in 1852, a descendant of Abraham (and Katurah) and the Sasanian kings of Persia proclaimed Himself to be Baha'u'llah (the glory of God), the "Promised One of the Age." His voluminous writings are the core of the Baha'i Faith. The only relativity now between the religions is that 1] the inception of the Baha'i Faith dates to 1844 with the appearance of the Bab; 2] Baha'u'llah instituted the calendar of The Bab, which Baha'is still follow; and 3] certain of the Bab's laws Baha'u'llah incorporated into His own Kitab'i-Aqdas (Book of Laws), while abrogating most of them.
