Memorial of the Consort of the King of Martyrs
Fáṭimih Begum, widow of the King of Martyrs of Iṣfáhán, lost her father at Badasht in childhood, married a husband whose faith would cost him his life, was stripped of every possession by the government, and ended her years in 'Akká, where the ascension of Bahá'u'lláh proved more than her heart could bear.
Memorial of Sakínih Sulṭán (the Mother of the Martyrs)
'Abdu'l-Bahá's tribute to Sakínih Sulṭán — the mother of the Iṣfahán martyrs, whose life of steady faith carried her through the deaths of her sons and into the long quiet years of teaching that followed.
Shining Embodiments of Every Ideal: The Merchant-Brothers of Iṣfáhán
In the bazaars of Iṣfáhán two brothers built one of the most prosperous trading houses in the city — yet they were renowned not for their wealth but for their character: trustworthy, honest, compassionate, and so generous that they fed the starving in famine and quietly sustained Bahá'u'lláh's exiled company. They came to be called the King and the Beloved of Martyrs, "shining embodiments of all Bahá'í ideals."
