Question

Though its founder was born earlier, a movement in this century challenged clerical authority by claiming that a “Perfect Shī‘a” could commune with the Hidden Imam in the realm of hūrqalyā (“HOOR-kal-yah”). As recounted by Nabīl Zarandī (“nah-BEEL zuh-RAN-dee”), many members of that Shaykhī (“shaky”) movement from this century joined another movement whose key members included a female poet known as Táhirih (“TAH-hee-ruh”). In this century, the Ṣubḥ-i-Azal (“SOOB-hee-uh-ZAWL”) rejected a self-proclaimed successor (10[1])to that movement’s (10[1])founder, a merchant who declared the abrogation of prior religious law in the Bayán (“buh-YAHN”) and called his closest followers the “Letters of the Living.” (10[1])During this century, (10[2])the fulfillment of that man’s prophecies was declared in the (-5[1])Garden of Ridván. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])in what (10[1])century did a follower (10[1])of the Báb (-5[1])declare (10[1])himself (10[1])“He (10[1])Whom (-5[1])God Shall Make Manifest” to found (10[1])the Bahá’í (10[1])(“bah-HAH-ee”) faith?
