It includes the stays of Baha'u'llah and is near the spot where he died inside the Mansion of Bahji. The shrine, after Abdu'l-Baha's death, turned into occupied via Mirza Muhammad Ali and his supporters, who forcibly took the keys to the shrine in January 1922. The governor of Acre ordered the keys to be back to the government and a guard was published on the shrine.

In early 1923 the keys had been lower back to Shoghi Effendi. In the 50s, Shoghi Effendi had made plans for a destiny superstructure, which could surround the entire region and would include a platform with 95 marble columns, every 6 meters excessive. Shoghi Effendi has referred to as the shrine the Darya-yi-Nur, which has taken the Kuh-i-Nur underneath its shadow. The shrine and its surrounding gardens, in addition to the Mansion of Bahji, was inscribed at the World Heritage List in July 2008.
