Ambassador to Humanity - Episode 1: The Early Years

This series of nine podcasts, produced especially for the centenary of the passing of Abdu’l-Baha, recounts the life and work of this unique figure in human history, celebrating his life, his legacy, and his enduring influence on humanity. It includes eyewitness accounts from those who encountered Abdu’l-Baha and commentary from those who have studied his life and example. Episode One opens at Abdu’l-Baha’s funeral, a funeral unlike any the Holy Land had ever seen. Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Haifa to pay homage to one they considered as the benevolent father to all. The series recounts Abdu’l-Baha’s early years using the words of his devoted sister Bahiyyih, and tells the story of Baha’u’llah’s acceptance of the message of the Bab, which caused the family’s life to be thrown into turmoil. Baha’u’llah – cruelly incarcerated for four months in a dark underground dungeon – received the first intimations of his own Divine mission there. Abdu’l-Baha was the first to recognize his father’s station as a messenger of God. For the next 40 years of exile and banishment and thereafter, the personal and tender care for others that was already a part of Abdul-Baha’s personality became a daily, defining feature of the rest of his life. Join us as we explore the powerful life and profound teachings of Abdu’l-Baha.
