Rúhíyyih Khánum

This remarkable book is dedicated to, and written for, youth all over the world. However, since it gives an inspiring and intimate look at the life of Rúhíyyih Khánum quoting from her personal diaries and those of Violette Nakhjavani, her closest companion, it deserves the attention of all who are interested in the Bahá’í Faith.

The authors have undertaken an incredible task: to condense the life of one of the most important and charismatic Bahá'í figures of the 20th century into a narrative directed to youth everywhere. 'Amatu'l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum, author, playwright, filmmaker, poetess, Bahá'í ambassadress, and above all, wife of the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, Shoghi Effendi Rabbani, described by 'Abdu'l-Bahá as the 'sign of God' on earth — Dr Duane Troxel.

An interview with Dr. Hussein Ahdieh.

Dr Hussein Ahdieh was born and raised in Nayriz, Iran. He is a sixth-generation Bahá'í, his ancestors figuring among the first in Nayriz to accept the Bábi and later Bahá'í Faith. Hussein immigrated to the United States as a young man. Like many immigrants seeking a better life in America, he worked and attended college in the New York area. Hussein eventually completed a Masters Degree in European Intellectual History and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Massachusetts.

Dr Ahdieh has had a distinguished career in education in New York. His proudest achievement is to contribute to the establishment of Harlem Preparatory School⏤a world-renowned charter high school for disadvantaged students as its Assistant Headmaster.
