In 1863 Bahá ' u ' lláh was again exiled to Constantinople.

In 1863 in what became known as the Garden of Ridván Bahá ' u ' lláh announced to a few that he was the manifestation of God and He whom God shall make manifest whose coming had been foretold by the Báb.

In 1863 Bahá ' u ' lláh was summoned to Constantinople ( Istanbul ), and thus his whole family including ` Abdu ' l-Bahá, then nineteen, accompanied him on his 110-day journey.

The date of the election coincided with the completion of the Ten Year Crusade and also with the first centenary anniversary of the public declaration of Bahá ' u ' lláh in the Garden of Ridván in April 1863.

In 1863, Bahá ' u ' lláh, the founder of the Bahá ' í Faith, claimed to have been the promised messianic figure of all previous religions, and a Manifestation of God, a type of prophet in the Bahá ' í writings that serves as intermediary between the divine and humanity and who speak with the voice of a god.

Bahá ' u ' lláh, the founder of the Bahá ' í Faith, lived in Edirne from 1863 to 1868.

Then, in 1863 Bahá ' u ' lláh made a claim to be Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest, the messianic figure in the Báb's writings, to a small number of followers, and in 1866 he made the claim public.

It is notable as the location where Bahá ' u ' lláh, founder of the Bahá ' í Faith, stayed for twelve days from April 21 to May 2, 1863, after the Ottoman Empire exiled him from Baghdad and before commencing his journey to Constantinople.

The most bitterly contested claim is that of Bahá ' u ' lláh's in 1863.

Later in 1863, Bahá ' u ' lláh privately laid claim to be the messianic figure, and made his claim publicly in 1866 – 68.

Baha ' is believe that Bahá ' u ' lláh is the return of Christ " in the glory of the Father " and that the passages below were fulfilled by the coming of the Báb and Bahá ' u ' lláh, the two most recent Manifestations of God, in 1844 AD and 1863 AD, respectively.

In 1863 in Baghdad, Bahá ' u ' lláh claimed to be the messianic figure expected by the Bab's writings.

Bahá ' ís consider the Baha ' i religion to start from Bahá ' u ' lláh's statements in 1863.

In 1863 in Baghdad, he made his first public declaration and eventually was recognized by the vast majority of Bábís as " He whom God shall make manifest " and his followers began calling themselves Bahá ' ís.

Before he left Baghdad on the way to Constantinople, Bahá ' u ' lláh camped for twelve days in the Garden of Ridván near Baghdad starting on April 22, 1863.

During the month of December 1863, Bahá ' u ' lláh and his family embarked on a twelve-day journey to Adrianople.
