History testifies that the main difficulties confronting the
Iranian nation at the time of the appearance of the Báb and
Bahá’u’lláh—difficulties that still persist—included ethnic conflict, religious
contention, social decline, and the challenge of reconciling modernity and
tradition. Countless people in the world see in the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh a
remedy for these and other contemporary ills of humanity.
