'Abdu'l-'Azíz
___________________
Pronunciation: abd-ol-az-ease
___________________
Sulṭán of the Ottoman Turkish Empire (ruled 1861-76) who banished Bahá'u'lláh from Constantinople (Istanbul) to Adrianople (Edirne) in 1863, and finally to 'Akká in 1868. The Sulṭán's decree condemned Bahá'u'lláh and His companions to permanent banishment and ordered that they be strictly confined and forbidden to associate with each other or with the local inhabitants. Bahá'u'lláh is reported to have said that in banishing Him without reason to the Most Great Prison ('Akká), 'Abdu'l-'Azíz's tyranny was worse than Náṣiri'd-Dín S̲h̲áh's.1 Bahá'u'lláh addressed the Sulṭán in two Tablets including the Súriy-i-Mulúk (Tablet to the Kings), but he did not respond. 'Abdu'l-'Azíz was deposed and assassinated in 1876.
[BD 2]
