Summary

"The Will And Testament of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá" by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá is a spiritual guide written in the early 1900s. This book is about keeping the Baháʼí faith safe and spreading its ideas after the author's death. The main ideas in the book are leadership, staying united as a group, and the importance of promises in guiding people's beliefs and actions. The book talks about problems the Baháʼí community faced, like disagreements inside the group and dangers from the outside, especially after the leader of the faith died. It explains why it's so important to stick to the promises made, names a new leader (Shoghi Effendi), it cautions against breaking promises, and stresses the need to stand strong to protect the faith's teachings and unity. It's a powerful reminder for followers to work on improving themselves spiritually, to love each other, to be fair, and to share the Baháʼí teachings around the world.

About the Author

ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, born ʻAbbás, was the eldest son of Baháʼu'lláh, founder of the Bahá’í Faith who designated him to be his successor and head of the Baháʼí Faith from 1892 until 1921. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá was later cited as the last of three "central figures" of the religion, along with Baháʼu'lláh and the Báb, and his writings and authenticated talks are regarded as sources of Baháʼí sacred literature.
