Featured in: The Ascension of Abdu’l-Baha
Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah who referred to Him as “the Mystery of God” and “a shelter for all mankind”, however Abdu’l-Baha preferred to be called “Abdu’l-Baha” which means “the Servant of Baha” in reference to His servitude to Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
In this Baha’i Blog interview, Naysan Naraqi speaks with Payam Rowhani, about Abdu’l-Baha’s time in Egypt.
After being a prisoner and in exile for 58 years, when Abdu’l-Baha was finally released, He traveled to Egypt, Europe, and North America to share the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Many of us hear a lot about Abdu’l-Baha’s travels to Europe and North America, however what about His time in Egypt?
Naysan chats with his dear friend and fellow community member, Payam Rowhani about Abdu’l-Baha’s time in Egypt.
Payam Rowhani and Naysan Naraqi are both members of the Baha’i community in the Gold Coast, Australia.
This year marks the centenary of the passing of Abdu’l-Baha.
