Bahá’ís of Trinidad and Tobago

‘Abdu’l-Bahá

‘Abdu’l-Bahá (1844-1921)

From Ridvan (21 April) 2021 to Ridvan 2022 the Bahá’í world will be commemorating an "infinitely poignant moment in the history of mankind", when the eldest son of Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, passed away from this earthly plain and ascended to the Abha kingdom.

His passing took from the Bahá’ís of that era a Figure Who was the object of their ardent love and loyalty; to the faithful of this age, He remains without parallel: a perfect embodiment in word and deed of all that His Father taught, the One through Whom the Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh was “proclaimed, championed and vindicated”.

The Glory of God

Bahá’u’lláh—the “Glory of God”—is the Promised One foretold by the Báb and all of the Divine Messengers of the past. Bahá’u’lláh delivered a new Revelation from God to humanity. Thousands of verses, letters and books flowed from His pen. In His Writings, He outlined a framework for the development of a global civilization which takes into account both the spiritual and material dimensions of human life. For this, He endured 40 years of imprisonment, torture and exile.

The Master

In His Most Holy Book, Bahá’u’lláh established a covenant with His followers, enjoining them to turn, after His passing, to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Who He describes as “Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root.” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s authority as the “Centre of the Covenant” was also established in other texts, including Bahá’u’lláh’s Will and Testament.

On 29 and 30 October 2019 the Baha'is of Trinidad and Tobago will be joining the rest of the world to celebrate the 200th anniversary of The Báb.

The Bahá’í Faith began with the mission entrusted by God to two Divine Manifestations—the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh.

Born two centuries ago, in October 1819, the Báb announced that He was the bearer of a message destined to transform the life of humanity, which stood at the threshold of a new era. He called for a spiritual and moral reformation, to improve the position of women and the lot of the poor. He founded a distinct and independent religion, inspiring His followers to transform their lives and carry out great acts of heroism. The Báb’s mission was to prepare the way for Bahá’u’lláh.
