Huququ'llah: The Right of God (new edition 2007)

A wide range of questions and answers compiled from a series of talks given by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in 1904, 1905, and 1906 while at the supper table. The answers were given in reply to questions posed by visiting pilgrims, especially Laura Clifford Barney. Later these answers recorded in Persian were translated into French and English. They constitute a rich source of philosophical and spiritual wisdom with answers that often bypass conundrums or controversies which have limited debate for many centuries. Treating human subjects and human spiritual destiny as well as the nature of creation as inseparable, these answers altogether represent a vision which surpasses any given in the past and which will inform and balance the thought of much intellectual and spiritual life in the future.

Some Answered Questions

ʻAbduʾl-Bahá

In the early part of the twentieth century, as millennial expectations swept through a fast-changing world, there were many in the United States who sought spiritual awakening. Among the inquisitive souls seeking such an awakening was the young Pauline Hannen, the first in her family to investigate what was at the time a little-known religion of the East called the Bahá’í Faith. Pauline was enthralled by what she heard, and she quickly immersed herself in study of the new Faith and shared all that she learned with her sisters, Fanny and Alma Knobloch, and her mother Amalie. Her husband, Joseph Hannen, soon embraced the Faith as well, and the Hannens and Knoblochs became active members of the small but growing American Bahá’í community. Their embrace of the Cause came at significant personal sacrifice as it meant breaking with the social mores and status quo of Washington society as they strove to put the Faith’s social teachings into practice. They were privileged, however, to visit and correspond with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá personally and were intimately involved in serving Him throughout His visit to North America. Author Judy Hannen Moe, the great-granddaughter of Joseph and Pauline Hannen, has combed through her family’s archival collections in order to piece together their story. The resulting book is a treasure trove of highlights from the early days of the Faith in America, and an intimate glimpse of the lives of a handful of brilliant and devoted servants of the Cause.

Voyage of Love is a beautifully written account of 'Abdu'l-Baha's journey in North America in the early part of the twentieth century. Drawing on various historical sources, as well as the talks of 'Abdu'l-Baha, author Amy Renshaw brings to life 'Abdu'l-Baha's journey for a young-adult audience as well as readers of all ages. 'Abdu'l-Baha came to the United States when He was nearly sixty-eight years old, just a few years after gaining His freedom from imprisonment in the city of Akka, located in what is now Israel. As the eldest son of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, 'Abdu'l-Baha spent most of His life in exile and imprisonment. Like His father, He was innocent of any crime. Officials persecuted Baha'u'llah, His family, and many of His followers in an effort to stop the growth of the Baha'i Faith. Still, the new religion grew, and in time it reached North America. At the time of His journey, 'Abdu'l-Baha's health was poor, but He amazed everyone with His strength and vitality. For eight months, He traveled across the United States and into Canada, speaking about the Baha'i Faith at colleges, in churches, in private homes, and in many other places. He covered more than five thousand miles and touched the hearts of everyone with whom He came in contact.
