Language of Origin:
Chihríq is a citadel in northwestern Iran in the Province of Ádhirbáyján. The Báb was imprisoned there for the two years immediately prior to his execution. He gave Chihríq the title of ‘Jabal-i-Shadíd (Grievous Mountain). The Báb revealed the Arabic Bayán and His Tablet to Hájí Mírzá Áqásí (The Sermon of Wrath) while imprisoned in Chihríq.
