'Abdu'l-Ḥamíd II
___________________
Pronunciation: ab-dol-ham-eed
___________________
Sulṭán of the Ottoman Turkish Empire (ruled 1876— 1909). As a result of the plotting of MIrzá Muḥammad-'Alí, in 1901 'Abdu'l-Ḥamíd restricted 'Abdu'l-Bahá's freedom, confining Him and His family within the city walls of 'Akká. Later the Sulṭán sent two commissions of inquiry to investigate false charges made against 'Abdu'l-Bahá by Covenant-breakers, and for a time 'Abdu'l-Bahá was in great danger. However, with the Young Turks' revolution in 1908, all religious and political prisoners in the Ottoman Empire were freed and the Sulṭán was overthrown the following year. He died in 1918.
[BD 4]
