Abdu'l-Bahá's Will and Testament should thus be ...

 "‘Abdu'l-Bahá, Who incarnates an institution for which we can find no parallel whatsoever in any of the world's recognized religious systems, may be said to have closed the Age to which He Himself belonged and opened the one in which we are now laboring. His Will and Testament should thus be regarded as the perpetual, the indissoluble link which the mind of Him Who is the Mystery of God has conceived in order to insure the continuity of the three ages that constitute the component parts of the Bahá'í Dispensation. The period in which the seed of the Faith had been slowly germinating is thus intertwined both with the one which must witness its efflorescence and the subsequent age in which that seed will have finally yielded its golden fruit."

Shoghi Effendi, The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah

    Could you please tell us why he went against the "will" of his father and put the "Shoogi" in place of his brother. Either he was wrong or his father, which one do say where wrong ? and if they were wrong about their own behavior and decisions, why
    do will be any good to us ? talks are cheap, you need to back your arguments with facts and logical sense please!

    sometime you really surprise me.
    Are you saying "you" don't know?
    I thought you "know" everything.
    Anyway, to put it in a simple way that you can understand (I know Google translator does not do a good job) Abdu'l-Bahá did not go against His Father's Will.
    The reason Abdu'l-Bahá chose Shoghi Effendi as His Successor was because Mirza Muhammad-’Ali broke the Covenant of Bahá’u'lláh.
    So he was expelled.
    End of story.
    btw, when are you going to answer my questions?

    As for how come or why didn't Bahaullah know of His own son, Mirza Muhammad-’Ali, let me remind you of:

    Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, 'We believe,' and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.

    (Qur'án, Yusuf Ali's translation, 29:2-3)

    Just one word "TEST".

    Faraz,
    Just like my "friend" Anonymous (Frank), you don't read my comments and then make a comment that shows you don't read anything.
    Baha’u’llah's knowledge, like all other Manifestations of God is beyond yours and mine to comprehend.
