In 1881 five brothers, known as the B qirof-Khamsi clan, whom Bah 'u'll h designated as S d t-i-Khams (The Five Siyyids, in Arabic) accepted the Bah ' Faith in the northern part of Iran. For such an intrepid decision they were automatically disinherited from the family fortune although, interestingly, became affluent later by their own toil.

This book describes this wealthy family and their struggles to survive in the midst of a fanatical establishment. It is the narrative of a kinfolk using their high social position, to defend, overtly and covertly, their newly espoused religion and the vulnerable community gathered around those teachings. Bigotry, persecution and harassment could not abate their inner spiritual forces but rather strengthened their resolution for getting their religion known, recognised and protected.


Going through various tumultuous Iranian social scenarios, three main waves in such a courageous family are easily recognisable namely, Siyyid Naṣru'll h B qirof, Siyyid Ahmad Khamsi-B qirof, and Mas'ud Khamsi, the latter whom ultimately brought the Bah ' Faith to ten of thousands of indigenous people of South America.

An exemplary trilogy taking the reader to Iran, Russia, the Holy Land, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Africa and even to awe-inspiring areas such as the Amazon rainforest and the Andes mountains, exemplifying that love for humanity also travels and it never tires in giving if inspired by higher principles.
