Who is Shoghi Effendi and what is his station in the Bahai Faith?
Shoghi Effendi Rabbani was the eldest grandson of ‘Abdu’l Baha. He was appointed by his grandfather as the Guardian of the Faith after ‘Abdu’l Baha’s passing. His function was to safeguard the Faith during it’s infancy until the institutions prescribed by Baha’u’llah in His Writings could have sufficient time to develop. He was the only person given the right to interpret the Writings besides ‘Abdu’l Baha.
