Mirza Muhammad-i-Vazir
Mirza Muhammad-i-Vazir was a Persian Bábí who was a cousin of Bahá’u’lláh.
Biography[edit]
Vazir was the son of Malik Nisa’ Khanum, sister of Mírzá Buzurg, and Mirza Karim-i Namadsab. He had two sisters, Maryam and Mahd-i-‘Ulya.[1] At some point he married Havva who was his cousin being the daughter of Mírzá Buzurg's brother Mírzá Muhammad and Sakínih Khánum,[2] and they had daughters and sons.[3]
Vazir became a Bábí in 1844 when his cousin Bahá’u’lláh visited Nur, Mazindaran, to proclaim the new religion and was reportedly the first member of Bahá’u’lláh's extended family to accept the new religion.[4] He passed away in the 1850's while Bahá’u’lláh was living in exile in Baghdad and Bahá’u’lláh revealed the Tablet Ḥurúfát-i-‘Állín, in which He provides a commentary on life and death, to console his sister Maryam and wife Havva.[5][6]
