Mazra'ih

Mazra'ih is a house in the countryside near Akká where Bahá’u’lláh lived from 1877 to 1879. The property belongs to the Bahá'ís, and is one of the places visited on pilgrimage. In the grounds of the house, there are remains of the old aqueduct running to the city.

History[edit]

Mazra'ih belonged to Muhammad Pasha Safwat, a great-nephew of 'Abdu'llah Pasha. As of the 1870's he was an invalid and unable to leave Akká and Mazra'ih was not inhabited. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá approached him and requested that the Bahá'ís be allowed to rent the property, Pasha agreed and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá had the building and surrounding gardens repaired and a bath built and Bahá’u’lláh moved His residence to the house.^[1]
