Although the Babi religion 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" [of the Qur'anic verses]). The Bab's life paralleled the life of Christ in at least 80 ways, including Their sacrificial deaths. 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.

When bahai established?
The Baha'i Faith was founded by Baha'u'llah, whose title means "The Glory of God." He was preceded by another Messenger of God entitled the Bab, which means "The Gate," as he was the gate to the way of God. His role was to announce and prepare people for the appearance of Baha'u'llah. Because these two Messengers appeared in such quick succession and their purposes were so closely intertwined, the beginning of the Baha'i Faith is considered to be the same date as the beginning of the Babi Faith, May 1844. 1844 is year 1 of the Baha'i calendar. Baha'u'llah inaugurated his own mission in April 1863.

How is Babism related to the Baha'i faith?
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.
What is the symbol of Bahai?
Bahais often use the nine-pointed star, sometimes with a globe in the middle, to represent their Faith. That is like a logo or corporate image. However it is the five-pointed star that is a sacred image: it was used by the Bab and explained by him, and Baha'u'llah also used it in some of his writings. Among other things, it represents a human person (head and four limbs). The five pointed star is found on Bahai sacred buildings, such as the Shrine of the Bab, and two five-pointed stars, representing the Bab and Baha'u'llah, are included in the ringstone symbol. It has three horizontal lines. The top one represents the world of God, the middle line symbolizes the world of Manifestations of God (prophets, messengers), the bottom one is humanity. They are linked by a vertical line representing revelation, or the Holy Spirit. This symbol was designed by Abdu'l-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah, founder of the Bahai Faith. Another important symbol is a piece of Arabic calligraphy called the Greatest Name (ie name of God), it reads "Ya Baha'u'l-Abha," which means, "O Glory of the All Glorious." Arabic is read from right to left - unfortunately if an English reader approaches this one from left to right, the top line looks a bit like (E).V.I.L !
