The Baha'u'llah family or Holy Bahá'u'lláh's family is the family of the Persian founder of the Bahai -Religion and has been in the history of the Baha'i faith , as some of the major Bahai with a significant position Baha'u'llah related were. Hence the importance of the family for the Baha'i Faith is comparable to that of the Mohammed family in the history of Islam .
