	Shoghi Effendi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shoghi Effendi is not regarded as one of the Central Figures of the Bahá'í Faith.
		Shoghi Effendi later expressed to his wife and others that he had no foreknowledge of the existence of the Institution of Guardianship, least of all that he was appointed as Guardian.
		Shoghi Effendi's passing came unexpectedly in 1957 as he was traveling to Britain and caught the Asiatic flu.

	The Life of Shoghi Effendi
		Shoghi Effendi's ministry as the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith began in 1921, after a thirty year period of Bahá'í history which he said would be remembered as a time of "tragedies and triumphs...
		Shoghi Effendi decided that the maintenance of his correspondence with individual Bahá'ís around the world as well as with the assemblies was essential for the protection and growth of the Cause.
		Through the American Bahá'í community, Shoghi Effendi established the "charter"[48] for all national Assemblies by means of the 1927 Bahá'í National Constitution, and the "pattern"[49] for all local Assemblies by means of the By-Laws of the Spiritual Assembly of New York, drafted in 1931.

		Shoghi Effendi was responsible for the construction of the nine preliminary terraces ascending from the foot of the mountain to the shrine of the Ba@b.
		According to the architect, the nine terraces emanating from the shrine of the Ba@b are inspired by a passage in Shoghi Effendi's writings that describe nine concentric circles, the innermost circle representing the sarcophagus of the Ba@b and the outermost circle symbolizing the planet.

	The Vine or Over The Wall
		Shoghi Effendi, not having a biological son to succeed him, set up a successorship in a council in embryonic form that everyone was to turn to upon his passing.
		Shoghi Effendi knew that he could not set up a Universal House of Justice during his lifetime, as it was to be elected by the believers of all nations.
		Shoghi Effendi knighted him as a knight of Baha'u'llah; thus as a knight of Baha'u'llah he is establishing Baha'u'llah and His Cause in the world: and the name by which he is called is The Word of God ['Abdu'l-Baha said that the Word of God referred to Jesus].

		Shoghi Effendi is very interested to hear of the engagement of your son to a &Baha'i young lady--and he prays that in future they may do a great work for the "Cause".
		Shoghi Effendi is fervently praying for the soul of our departed sister, and is entreating &Baha'u'llah to give her her full share of divine blessings in the other world.

	The Baha'i Religion :: a brief historical introduction
		After the death of ‘Abd al-Baha’, his grandson Shoghi Effendi Rabbani54 (1897-1957) became the official head of the Baha’i faith, although for a brief period the Baha’is were led by the sister of ‘Abd al-Baha’, Bahiyyah Khanum (1846-1932).
		Predictably, the leadership of Shoghi Effendi was challenged and like his grandfather he eventually expelled nearly every member of his extended family (including those who refused to shun family members already labelled Covenant-Breakers).
		Shoghi Effendi’s was a brilliant administrator and he spent his life systematising the new religion; translating important Babi and Baha’i works into English and overseeing the construction of major architectural projects for the Baha’i world centre in Haifa.

	SHOGHI EFFENDI FORETELLS ACTIVE ROLE
		The term in Shoghi Effendi’s message of November 23,1951 referring to the International Institution and the statement that carries such import with respect to its projected role, is found in the excerpt quoted below.
		Shoghi Effendi had moreover appointed Rúhíyyih Khánum as his "chosen liaison" with the Council so as to further preclude any semblance of assuming the Presidency himself, the reason for which was also not perceived then, but is now glaringly obvious.
		In this manner, Shoghi Effendi had preserved the Guardianship of the Faith in faithful compliance with the sacred Mandate of the Master and had made provision for his appointed successor to succeed him without a moment’s break in the continuity of the Guardianship.

	Generative Imagery in the Writings of Shoghi Effendi
		Shoghi Effendi's compositional method was to speak the words as he wrote and to use speech to hone the structure of his text.
		It is notable how Shoghi Effendi takes the normally overlooked or elided metaphorical context of his use of "conceived" in the first of these paragraphs and invokes it repeatedly and explicitly in the second.
		Shoghi Effendi's generative model is one of change and adaptation, of genotype and phenotype: potentialities and their expression in particular circumstances.

	A LETTER AND FIVE MESSAGES OF SHOGHI EFFENDI
		When Shoghi Effendi subsequently proclaimed the appointment of this "World Council" in his cablegram of 9 January 1951, he significantly and appropriately addressed this Proclamation to the "National Assemblies of East and West" for, as the supreme administrative body in the Bahá'í World, this Council would exercise administrative authority over these national bodies.
		Upon Shoghi Effendi's passing, the Hands convened a conclave in 'Akká; less than three weeks later and, as their first act, delegated nine Hands from their number to undertake a search of the safe and files of Shoghi Effendi's office in Haifa, which had previously, upon his death, been carefully sealed and secured.
		As a result, upon Shoghi Effendi’s passing, the Hands of the Cause immediately and illegitimately seized and usurped supreme authority over the affairs of the Faith and never permitted the International Council, to perform its rightful role as the embryonic Universal House of Justice and one which had been clearly projected by Shoghi Effendi.

	Learning Projects: Shoghi Effendi's The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah: Its Continuing Place In History
		In "The Dispensation Of Baha'u'llah," Shoghi Effendi contrasts the "slow and steady consolidation that characterizes the growth" of the "infant" Baha'i Faith with the "devastating onrush of the forces of disintegration that are assailing the outworn institutions, both religious and secular, of present-day society" (DOB, Par.
		Shoghi Effendi, we are told, saw as among his functions one "to win recognition for the Cause as a world religion entitled to the same status and prerogatives that other religions...
		Shoghi Effendi's cable messages were nearly an art form in themselves based on the manner in which language was sparsely used to convey a thought.

	Biography of Charles Mason Remey
		Shoghi Effendi in “God Passes By” (1950 edition p261) recorded that Remey and his Baha’I companion, Howard Struven, were the first Baha’is to circle the globe teaching the Faith.
		Shoghi Effendi interpreted the meaning of “branch” to be a “descendant of Baha’u’llah.” Most Baha’is have interpreted this to mean that the successor to the first Guardian must be a male physical descendant of Baha’u’llah.
		Evidently, Shoghi Effendi never presented his appointment of Remey as President of the IBC to the Hands for their assent, or officially directed the Hands to recognize Remey as his potential successor.

	Shoghi Effendi
		With these words, written in his Will and Testament (1902), `Abdu'l-Bahá appointed His eldest grandson, Shoghi Effendi, to be the Guardian of the Cause of God.
		Shoghi Effendi was not only the eldest grandchild of `Abdu'l-Bahá, and therefore the great-grandson of Bahá'u'lláh, he was also a descendent of the Báb's family.
		Therefore, Shoghi Effendi was laid to rest in a cemetery near London.

		"Shoghi Effendi Rabbani was the eldest great-grandson of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, appointed in the Will and Testament of his grandfather, 'Abdu'l Baha, the son and successor of Baha'u'llah as His Successor and Head of the congregation of Baha'i's throughout the world.

	Shoghi Effendi
		In this office, Shoghi Effendi was the authoritative interpreter of the Bahá'í teachings.
		The letters of Shoghi Effendi also developed guidelines for the system of elections and group decision-making that has become one of the Bahá'í Faith's distinguishing features.
		Perhaps most important, insofar as the growth of the Bahá'í Faith is concerned, Shoghi Effendi's letters to the Bahá'í world provided a continuing source of encouragement and support.

	The Era of the Guardian
		Some 36 years later, by the time of Shoghi Effendi's passing in 1957, there were about 400,000 Bahá'ís, and they resided in more than 250 countries, territories and colonies.
		Shoghi Effendi's clear vision of the Bahá'í Faith as God's revelation to our age, and his certainty of its ultimate triumph, helped to invigorate a generation of believers who, though few in number, were responsible for having spread Bahá'u'lláh's message to every corner of the globe.
		y the time of Shoghi Effendi's passing in 1957, the Faith had established the necessary broad base of national and local Spiritual Assemblies, thus permitting the election of the Universal House of Justice, the international governing body envisioned by Bahá'u'lláh.

	UNDERSTANDING THE DICHOTOMY - Baha'i Faith successorship
		With the passing of Shoghi Effendi in 1957 a nonauthoritative group called the "Hands" usurped the control of the faith by falsely decreeing that the guardianship of the faith, set up by 'Abdu'l-Baha, and was to exist forever, had come to an end.
		Thus Shoghi Effendi's lineal(2) descendant, being he did not have a biological son, was the House of Justice that Shoghi Effendi had set up in its embryonic form as the first International Baha'i Council.
		Shoghi Effendi appointed the members of that embryonic International Baha'i Council and placed 'Abdu'l-Baha's son, Mason Remey, a member, as its president, making him the fallible head of the infallible Universal House of Justice and thus the fallible guardian of the Baha'i faith.

	A Tribute to Shoghi Effendi
		The friends should realize that Shoghi Effendi had no foreknowledge that he would be appointed the Successor of 'Abdu'l-Bahá.
		Tender, sensitive, crushed with grief, fighting his own inner battle to be reconciled to the glory of the station so suddenly revealed to him, Shoghi Effendi began to do all the Master had hoped to accomplish and to carry into effect His Words when He hinted that after Him the veils would be rent asunder.
		Shoghi Effendi, appealing direct to high government officials, secured Mazraih as a Holy Place for the Bahá'í pilgrims to visit, after it had been promised to other institutions when the Jewish State was formed.

		Shoghi Effendi's successor was alive and in the world 6 years before he died in 1957.
		Shoghi Effendi's interpretation of his unique station was that even though he was the Guardian of the Cause of God he was not a member and not the president/head of the IBC/UHJ.
		Another reason why Shoghi Effendi could not be the president of the UHJ was that, as he was not descended from Baha'u'llah in the male line, but was the son of 'Abdu'l-Baha's daughter, he did not inherit the Davidic Kingship.

		This fact was the cause of puzzlement at the time and the reason therefore only became clear some two and a half years after the passing of Shoghi Effendi when the President of the Council issued his own Proclamation at Ridván 1960.
		It was singularly appropriate that Shoghi Effendi should have addressed this Proclamation in this manner as he was proclaiming the establishment of the supreme administrative institution of the Faith – the embryonic Universal House of Justice – to those bodies (i.e.
		In fact, Shoghi Effendi emphasized this relationship in subsequent passages of his Proclamation when he stated that one of the conditions that induced him to arrive at the historic decision to form the International Bahá’í Council was "the present adequate maturity of nine vigorously functioning national administrative institutions."
