     Bahaismiran:

Tahereh was undoubtedly one of the most influential characters following Ali Muhammad Bab. The first assassination of the opponents of Ali Muhammad Bab was planned by him. In Badasht plain, she announced the excommunication of Islam and the birthday of Babi thought. She was the first Iranian woman who uncovered. She played a key role in expanding the influence of Baha’ism thought in Iran and Iraq along with Ali Muhammad and Hussein Ali Nouri.

She was nearly 29 years when she headed off to visit Seyyed Kazem Rashti encouraged by her paternal uncle without the permission of her husband. She had written several letters for Seyyed Kazem Rashti before. During those letter writings, Seyyed Kazem Rashti had called her Qorratul Ein.[1]

1)   When Qorratul Ein arrived at Karbala, Seyyed Kazem Rashti had died. She wrote a letter for Mullah Hussein Boshrouyee and asked her to make her aware of Seyyed Kazem’s successor. When Boshrouyee had come to Shiraz city, he received Tahereh’s letter. He gave the letter to Ali Muhammad Bab. Bab accepted him as Hayy letters, too and answered her letter.[2]

2)   During those letters writings, Zarrin Taj started praying and taking great pains.[3]

3)   During the time when Tahereh was residing in Iraq, she was living in different places including Sheikh Muhammad Shebel and Mahmoud Alousi. She stayed at Sheikh Muhammad Shebel’s house in Baqdad. Then, she headed off towards Mahmoud Alousi’s house ordered by Baqdad governor.[4] Alousi said to her:

 

"یا قره العینی، تالله انی علی مذهبک و لکنی اخاف سیوف آل عثمان"

“I swear by God, I am following your religion; but I am afraid of Othman descendants’ swords.[5]

 

4)   At first, Zarrin Taj was covered; but she uncovered in the presence of Sheikh Muhammad Shebel, Sheikh Saleh Karimi and Seyyed Muhsen Kazemi and Seyyed Ahmad Yazdi.[6]

According to history. Several notes can be figured out:

1)   Qorratul Ein didn’t care his husband and offspring. So, she left her house without her husband’s permission and headed off towards a strange country…

2)   Qorratul Ein hasn’t been of Bab’s Hayy letters. Then she has been added.

3)   Qorratul Ein was praying and taking great pains like Ali Muhammad Bab.

4)   Qorratul Ein had elected several men for her private moments.

5)   Qorratul Ein’s uncovering was originated form her trip to Iraq not from Badasht Event.
