Ironically, the first group in modem Iranian history to call itself hezbollah (the Persian pronunciation) were the Baha'is, who used it to signify their non-partisanship in worldly politics, the term having been used by Baha'ullah in the Tablet of Unity (Lawh-i Ittihad). In 1948 a party by the name of Hezbollah was founded in Shiraz but proved to be a mere footnote to history.
