notes

"The ... house in which Bahá'u'lláh resided during nearly all of His ten year exile in 'Iráq from 1853 to 1863. It is situated in the Karkh quarter of the city, near the western bank of the river. Named by Him the 'Most Great House'... it is designated in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas as a place of pilgrimage and is considered a holy shrine by Bahá'ís. During the 1920s the House was seized by Shí'ih enemies of the Faith and although the Council of the League of Nations upheld the Bahá'ís' claim to it, this ruling was never carried out..."

– from A Basic Bahá'í Dictionary (1989)

The house was demolished in June 2013.

selected quotations
(authoritative sources)
These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"... We predicted that which must befall Our House (Baghdád House), in the days to come... This is not the first humiliation inflicted upon My House. In days gone by the hand of the oppressor hath heaped indignities upon it. Verily, it shall be so abased in the days to come as to cause tears to flow from every discerning eye. Thus have We unfolded to thee things hidden beyond the veil, inscrutable to all save God, the Almighty, the All-Praised. In the fullness of time, the Lord shall, by the power of truth, exalt it in the eyes of all men. He shall cause it to become the Standard of His Kingdom, the Shrine round which will circle the concourse of the faithful...."
