ArdistĂĄn – MullĂĄ âAlĂ-Akbar-i-ArdistĂĄnĂÂ
MullĂĄ âAlĂ-Akbar-i-ArdistĂĄnĂ had been a student of Mulla SĂĄdiq-i-KhurĂĄsĂĄnĂ in IsfahĂĄn, when MullĂĄ Husayn comes there right after the Letters of the Living are dispersed by the BĂĄb. MullĂĄ âAlĂ-Akbar becomes a believer shortly after Mulla SĂĄdiq. In June 1845 âAlĂ-Akbar accompanied Mulla SĂĄdiq to Shiraz where Mulla SĂĄdiq altered the Muslim call to prayer while speaking at a Mosque in accordance with instructions from the BĂĄb. This resulted in Mulla SĂĄdiq, âAlĂ-Akbar, and QuddĂșs, being violently persecuted and expelled from the city. These three became the first to suffer persecution for the Cause of Go on Persian soil.
