She came to do away with dogma, superstition, and corruption that had seized the people, raise the status of women, and initiate a new universal cycle for humanity.

Tahirih has been equated with female heroines like the Virgin Mary, Fatima, and Joan of Arc, however, Her figure operates on many levels of existence simultaneously including having been a Messiah in Her own right in Her own time.

She fulfilled prophecies. None was as clear as when she declared She was the Trumpet, the Blast, the Bugle that announces the new Christ Spirit into the world. At the same time She began a new independent religion and called for the closing of past religious Dispensations so as to begin a Universal Cycle.
