In 1892, ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was appointed in his father's will to be his successor and head of the Bahá ' í Faith.

` Abdu ' l-Bahá was born in Tehran to an aristocratic family of the realm.

Along with his father, ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was exiled to Baghdad where the family lived for nine years.

By the age of 64 after forty years imprisonment ` Abdu ’ l-Bahá was freed by the Young Turks and he and his family began to live in relative safety.

` Abdu ' l-Bahá's given name was ` Abbás, but he preferred the title of ` Abdu ' l-Bahá ( servant of the glory of God ).

` Abdu ' l-Bahá was born in Tehran, Iran on 23 May 1844 ( 5th of Jamadiyu ' l-Avval, 1260 AH ), the eldest son of Bahá ' u ' lláh and Navváb.

As a child, ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was shaped by his father's position as a prominent Bábí.

` Abdu ’ l-Bahá had a happy and carefree childhood.

` Abdu ' l-Bahá enjoyed playing in the gardens with his younger sister whom he was very close to.

With his father's declination of the position as minister of the court ; during his young boyhood ` Abdu ’ l-Bahá witnessed his parents ' various charitable endeavours, which included converting part of the home to a hospital ward for women and children.

` Abdu ' l-Bahá received a haphazard education during his childhood.

Despite a brief spell at a traditional preparatory school at the age of seven for one year, ` Abdu ' l-Bahá received no formal education.

Years later in 1890 Edward Granville Browne described how ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was " one more eloquent of speech, more ready of argument, more apt of illustration, more intimately acquainted with the sacred books of the Jews, the Christians, and the Muhammadans ... scarcely be found even amongst the eloquent.

When ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was seven, he contracted tuberculosis and was expected to die.

One event that affected ` Abdu ' l-Bahá greatly during his childhood was the imprisonment of his father when ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was eight years old ; the imprisonment led to his family being reduced to poverty and being attacked in the streets by other children.

` Abdu ' l-Bahá accompanied his mother to visit Bahá ' u ' lláh who was then imprisoned in the infamous subterranean dungeon the Síyáh-Chál.

Bahá ' u ' lláh was eventually released from prison but ordered into exile, and ` Abdu ' l-Bahá then eight joined his father on the journey to Baghdad in the winter ( January to April ) of 1853.

During the journey ` Abdu ' l-Bahá suffered from frost-bite.

` Abdu ' l-Bahá was particularly close to both, and his mother took active participation in his education and upbringing.

During the two year absence of his father ` Abdu ' l-Bahá took up the duty of managing the affairs of the family, before his age of maturity ( 14 in middle-eastern society ) and was known to be occupied with reading and, at a time of hand-copied scriptures being the primary means of publishing, was also engaged in copying the writings of the Báb.

The issue of successorship to ` Abdu ' l Bahá was in the minds of early Bahá ' ís, and although the Universal House of Justice was an institution mentioned by Bahá ' u ' lláh, the institution of the Guardianship was not introduced until the Will and Testament of ` Abdu ' l-Bahá was publicly read after his death.

His leadership style was however, quite different than that of ` Abdu ' l-Bahá, in that he signed his letters to the Bahá ' ís as " your true brother ", and he did not refer to his own personal role, but instead to the institution of the guardianship.

The institution was defined in the writings of Bahá ' u ' lláh and ` Abdu ' l-Bahá, Bahá ' u ' lláh's successor, and was officially established in 1963 as the culmination of the Ten Year Crusade, an international Bahá ' í teaching plan.

The institution has also collected and published extracts from the writings of the Báb, Bahá ' u ' lláh and ` Abdu ' l-Bahá.

On the basis of the authority granted ` Abdu ' l-Bahá he extended forms of the authority vested in him to the Guardianship, who's sole member was Shoghi Effendi, and the Universal, or International, House of Justice through his Will and Testament.

After the death of ` Abdu ' l-Bahá in 1921, the leadership of the Bahá ' í community entered a new phase, evolving from that of a single individual to an administrative order with executive and legislative branches, the head of each being the Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice.

Upon assuming the Guardianship of the Bahá ' í Faith, Shoghi Effendi read ` Abdu ' l-Bahá's Will and Testament and made establishment of local spiritual assemblies an early priority.

After the death of ` Abdu ' l-Bahá, Ruth White questioned the Will's authenticity as early as 1926, and openly opposed Shoghi Effendi's Guardianship, publishing several books on the subject.
