In His Will, Baha’u’llah instructed all to turn to His eldest Son, Abdu’l-Baha, not only as the authorized interpreter of the Baha’i Writings but also as the perfect exemplar of the Faith’s spirit and teachings. Abdu’l-Baha’s extraordinary qualities of character, His knowledge and His service to humanity offered a vivid demonstration of Baha’u’llah’s teachings in action.
Every year Baha’is around the world celebrate Abdu’l-Baha as the Centre of Baha’u’llah Covenant and honor Abdu’l-Baha’s ministry and how He presented with brilliant simplicity, to high and low alike, Baha’u’llah’s prescription for the spiritual and social renewal of society.
