This meticulously compiled biography brings to life the extraordinary journeys of Siyyid Mustafá Rúmí, whose nearly century-long devotion shaped the early Bahá’í communities of the Indian subcontinent and Burma (Myanmar). Drawing on English and Persian memoirs, Knight of Bahá’u’lláh Iran Furútan Muhájir serves as compiler, editor and translator to weave a narrative of tireless travel, teaching and service alongside luminaries such as Jamál Effendi.

Within its pages, firsthand accounts illuminate the formative days of the Faith in South Asia, interspersed with vivid descriptions of pilgrimages to the Holy Land and moments in ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s presence. Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá addressed to Siyyid Mustafá offer spiritual insight, while correspondence from Shoghi Effendi—who posthumously appointed him a Hand of the Cause and hailed him as an Apostle, pioneer and martyr—underscores his profound impact.

Through this rich tapestry of memoirs, letters and scholarly commentary, an understanding emerges of how individual sacrifice and scholarly rigor can foster vibrant communities. The work provides a model of dedicated service and deep faith, inspiring informed appreciation of the Bahá’í Faith’s expansion and its principles in action.
