Odd that the Bahá'í have a taboo against viewing the prophet's image, when he himself had no problem posing for this portrait. Rather grandly, too. —Clarknova 05:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Islam has the same standard for pictures of Muhammad. Baha'u'llah requested that nobody view his picture so that his image does not become the focus of idol worship. This particular image is a passport picture, and one of the only two available pictures of him. Cuñado

- Correction: SUNNI Islam has these standards. Shia Muslims publish photos of the Holy Imams (as) and, more rarely, the Prophet Muhammad (as). I've seen two pictures of him published by Shia, not to mention the hundreds of pictures that are called "Persian paintings" of the Prophet Muhammad (as). Armyrifle 23:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

- It was Bahá'u'lláh's given name. He took the title Bahá'u'lláh later in his life. Please see the Bahá'u'lláh article. -- Jeff3000 18:30, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
