One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Cause of
the Báb was the prominent role of the youth who in an astonishing way entered
its vanguard, who demonstrated a profound understanding of the implications of
the new era, and who taught everyone the lessons of courage and valour. The Báb
Himself was twenty-five when He declared His mission. Quddús was twenty-two
when he became adorned with the mantle of faith; Táhirih was in her twenties
when she accepted the Cause of her Lord; and Anís was a young man of tender age
when he became a believer. Recall the fearless Zaynab, who in the prime of
youth became a legend, a heroine in both this world and the next.

believers in Iran)
