Every earnest believer is called to deepen their grasp of Bahá’u’lláh’s Revelation, drawing fresh inspiration and spiritual sustenance to strengthen service to the Cause. In 1934, Shoghi Effendi addressed this imperative in a pivotal epistle to Western Bahá’ís—later published as “The Dispensation of Bahá’u’lláh” within The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh—clarifying the stations of the Central Figures and elucidating the twin institutions of the Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice. Though the full compass of the Revelation transcends human understanding, this lucid exposition of its core verities empowers individuals to enrich their devotional lives and uphold the Faith’s foundational truths.

Designed as an interactive guide, the accompanying tutorial simulates a tutor–tutored dialogue, dividing Shoghi Effendi’s 130-paragraph letter into 27 carefully themed chapters for self-paced study. Two additional chapters address the Guardian’s unexpected passing: one explores the absence of a will or successor, and the other examines Charles Mason Remey’s disputed claim to the Guardianship—providing a comprehensive framework for discerning and defending the integrity of Bahá’í administration.
