‘Abdu’l-Bahá ( pronunciation) (May 23, 1844 - November 28, 1921), was the eldest son of Bahá’u’lláh and head of the Bahá’í Faith from 1892 until his death in 1921.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá's station as head of the Faith, authorized interpreter of its teachings, and spiritual figurehead was established by Bahá’u’lláh in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas where He says "When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces towards Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root." and "refer ‘Abdu’l-Bahá - Bahaipedia, an encyclopedia about the Bahá’í Faith NUDE
