Vahíd -- the Peerless

The astonishing true story of Siyyid Yaḥyá-i-Dárábí, known as Vaḥíd (The Peerless), one of 19th-century Persia's most brilliant and influential religious scholars. Hand-picked by Muḥammad Sháh to be the ultimate investigator, Vaḥíd was dispatched to Shíráz to investigate the claims of the Báb—the young merchant who claimed to be the Gate of a new Divine Revelation. Vaḥíd set out, a fortress of Islamic knowledge and the champion of the old order, confident in his ability to dismantle what many saw as a heresy. This video recounts the three legendary interviews that shattered his certainties: Vaḥíd’s conversion sent shockwaves through the Empire. He abandoned his life of privilege and affluence to become the Báb's most powerful apostle, ultimately leading to a heroic defense in Nayríz and a definitive martyrdom. Witness the profound transformation of the Peerless Scholar into the Peerless Disciple.
