>>Bahá'í Faith. (The diacriticals (accents) are part of the transliteration system commonly used in the Bahá'í Faith.)

>Is it originated from what language? Seems indian..

The transliteration system in question is used for Arabic and Farsi (Persian). Many terms from the Bahá'í Faith are originally from the Arabic language.

>how stupidy.. executed by his faith.. seems medieval.. But, at todays Iran still execute anyone that think different of his leaders..

In 1850, the Báb was executed by a firing squad of 750 rifles. Around that time, about 20,000 believers were killed, too.

Bahá'u'lláh, who at that time appeared as a believer in the Báb, was imprisoned, and eventually asked to leave the country.

>His room on the photo semms a kind of museum.. I don't know how still remains so clean.. Is there any other reason for the Iran's government not to have destroyed it?

The house in the lower part of the picture was utterly destroyed some decades ago. I think this was still in the time of the Sháh. There are photographs, where highest government authorities lead the destruction.

I guess it will be reconstructed eventually, when the conditions in Irán improve.

>Hehe Sorry.. But, I can even think on how should I pronunciate it.. Bahá'u'lláh.. in english could sound something as "Boh-ha-you-le-loh"?

In the transliteration system commonly used in Bahá'í writings, the most problematic part is the vowels:
  • The "a" (no accent) is pronounced like the "a" (in Spanish or Portuguese).
  • The "á" is pronounced somewhat between "a" and "o".
  • The "i" is prounounced more like an "e".
  • The "í" is pronounced like an "i".
  • The "u" is pronounced more like an "o".
  • The "ú" is pronounced like an "u".

    As you probably know, both Arabic and Farsi are written with non-Latin characters.

    >I like to study the foundation of some religions/philosophy.. Once, I told you about an old close friend of mine named Farid (been born of Iran).. He told me a little of some characteristics of Bahá'í Faith and said me about no kind of imcompatibility with Christianity.. But, maybe not from a point-of-view of Bahá'i to Christian.. Otherwise we see:

    >Romans 3:19-20 "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."

    >The center of this message talks about a full equality of all human being from the God's perspective.. Due to bible's message that isn't "the prophet".. Specialty, after Jesus coming all of those was described as disciples..

    We don't normally refer to Jesus Christ, or Bahá'u'lláh, as "prophet", rather as "Messenger of God", or "Manifestation of God".

    >I'm not questioning here what should be the "biggest truth". But, just comparing the two perspectives.. I hope that you don't fell insulted with my comparation.. I'm just a researcher of these subjects..

    Sure, no problem.

    >nice one, is it available on any ussual store? Or any ebook?

    I think your best option is to get the Ocean library. 25 or 40 MB, depending on the language options.

    http://www.bahaieducation.org/ocean

    I just checked; Livro da Certeza is included in the Portuguese section.

    >Here is other "curiosity" about the comparation of two creeds.. Bible makes difference about peace and tolerance.. It talks about the full impossibility of a world unity or a world with peace.. But, talks on how important is the men to learn to be tolerant with differences..

    Impossibility? IIRC, Isaias writes a lot about a peaceful world.
    Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
