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, Leyla Tavernaro-Haidarian speaks with Gordon Kerr about Abdu’l-Baha’s time in Edinburgh, Scotland.
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, and we wanted to know more about His time in Scotland, so we asked Scottish Baha’i, Gordon Kerr to tell us a little about Abdu’l-Baha’s time in Scotland.
This year marks the centenary of the passing of Abdu’l-Baha, which you can learn more about here: The Mystery of God
