Dr Muhájir

Hand of the Cause of God

Dr Rahmatullah Muhajir embodied the urgency of his age, answering his Guardian Shoghi Effendi’s call by becoming perhaps the greatest mass teacher of the Bahá’í Faith in the twentieth century. From pioneering posts in Indonesia’s remote Mentawai Islands to vibrant communities across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas, his tireless ministry brought thousands into the fold of Bahá’u’lláh. This narrative reveals the sheer scale of his achievements and the depth of his devotion, illustrating how one individual’s zeal can accelerate the spread of a global message of unity and hope.

Facing danger, opposition and indifference, Muhajir’s courage never wavered. His audacity in times of trial and his compassion for the poor—peasant farmers, villagers and indigenous tribes—shine through every chapter. This inspiring account offers a vivid portrait of a true hero whose life exemplifies the transformative power of selfless service and unwavering faith in the face of adversity.
