The speeches of the first woman who unveiled in Iran

Tahereh Qorrat-al-Ein

Bahaismiran: The first unveiling event in Iran after Islam was happened in Badasht region in Semnan province. Some Babis led by Mohammad Ali Qoddos and Tahereh Qorrat-al-Ein were gathered in this place for two main reasons: first, saving Bab from Makoo’ prison; Second, announcing the separation of Babism from Islam and obvious disagreement with it. In this place, Qorrat-al-Ein exposed her bare body quite against the Islam religion and the social situation of her period of time. She was the first woman who provided the facilities and opportunities for the social basis for expanding irreligion and giving liberty which were of the Colonialism’s aims. We narrate these speeches without any explanation and let the readers judge. We just remind of this issue that Tahereh’s look is Babism and Baha’ism ones. This is the very Tahereh who was the more woman in “Hayy” group…

She said is Bedasht gathering: “Know that Mohammedan religion’s commandments have been abolished by Bab’s emergence. The commandments of Bab’s new religion haven’t been received by us and all of your worships such as prayer, fasting, tithes and the thing Muhammad (P.H.) has brought for you are null and vain… There aren’t any duty, commandment and forbiddance today. We are in an interregnum now. Thus come out of loneliness state towards common accord and tear up the cover existing between you and women. Share them in your affairs and divide the duties between women and you after you gain fruition. Have intercourse with them. Take them from the houses to assemblies. Women are world’s life flowers. You must pick them up and smell. Because flower is created for being picked up and smelt. It isn’t good to save them and not to look at them. Smell them with utmost enjoyment. Flowers and blooms must be picked up and sent for friends.”
