Díyá'u'lláh

(Alternate spelling: Zíyá'u'lláh)

Relatively little is known about Díyá'u'lláh, so it is difficult to piece together an accurate account of his life, but we do know:

Born 15 August 1864 in Edirne (modern day Adrianople)
Married Thurayya Samandarí, daughter of Kazim-i-Samandar
He swayed between the two sides in his brothers' argument, and died before taking part in an act against `Abdu'l-Bahá, but has still been labelled a Covenant-breaker
He died in 30 October 1898 (without issue) and was buried in the room next to where Bahá'u'lláh was buried
His body was moved by relatives of the Covenant-breakers to a building covering the grave of his brother Muhammad `Alí
In 1965 the Universal House of Justice removed his body from the vicinity of the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh as an act of purification [1].
