Abbas Effendi known as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

• 'Abdu'l-Bahá
Abbas Effendi, also known as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, was born in 1844 in Persia. He enjoyed a privileged childhood until His Father, Bahá’u’lláh, the Prophet - Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, was banished for His religious beliefs from Persia to Baghdad and finally to the harshest prison colony in the Ottoman Empire -Akko.
Abbas Effendi accompanied His Father throughout their exiles, took care of His followers and upheld the principles of justice with civil authorities. In time Abbas Effendi’s generosity of spirit, selfless service and adherence to His principles endeared Him to those who came to know Him and won over even the most cold-hearted of enemies.
Abbas Effendi was sent as a prisoner to Akko, but for more than 40 years, He dedicated Himself to serving the people of the city, especially the poor. He established good relations between the Bahá’ís and the diverse peoples, communities and official institutions throughout the region.
Shelter for All Mankind highlights aspects of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life of service in the Holy Land, where He was known to local residents as ‘Abbás Effendi.This film was first screened in a reception held in Haifa on 3 January 2022, which brought together government officials, diplomats, civil society leaders, and leaders of Faith communities-Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze-to mark the centenary of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s passing and to honor His enduring legacy in the Holy Land and beyond.
