The worldwide Baha’i community has learned that the house of
Baha’u'llah, the Founder of the Baha’i Faith, in Baghdad, Iraq – a
profoundly sacred site known as the Most Great House – has been
destroyed. The precise circumstances surrounding the demolition are not
yet clear.
Bani Dugal, the Principal Representative of the Baha’i International
Community to the United Nations said: “This deplorable act has robbed
people throughout the world of a priceless piece of their spiritual
heritage.”
