"The Lamp: The Life Story of the Bab" by Jacqueline Mehrabi is a compelling narrative that explores the life of the Bab, a key figure in the Baha'i faith. The story chronicles the Bab's early life in Persia, his divine mission, and the profound impact he had on spirituality and society. Through his teachings, the Bab challenged oppressive norms, advocating for justice, unity, and the empowerment of individuals. As a precursor to Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i faith, the Bab’s journey unfolds amidst political turmoil, deepening faith, and unwavering commitment, ultimately illuminating a path toward spiritual enlightenment and social transformation.
