Monument over Shoghi Effendi's grave in London.
|
`Abdu'l-Bahá
in His
Will and Testament appointed His grandson, Shoghi
Effendi Rabbani, Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith and
interpreter of its teachings. Shoghi Effendi served until
his death in 1957. During these thirty-six years the
Guardian translated many of the writings of Bahá'u'lláh and
`Abdu'l-Bahá into English, expounded their meanings,
encouraged the establishment of local and national Bahá'í
institutions, and guided a series of plans aimed at
diffusing Bahá'í ideals throughout the world.
In the Holy Land, the Guardian's enduring memorial is the
magnificent setting he created for the
World
Centre of the Bahá'í Faith. The completion of the Shrine
of the
Báb was his work as was the construction of the
International Bahá'í Archives building. It was also Shoghi
Effendi who designed and laid out the beautiful gardens at
Bahjí and on the slopes of Mount Carmel.
