| Ilyás 'Abbúd |
|
| Pronunciation: ill-yahs-ah-bood |
|
| Redirected from: 'Abbúd, Ilyás |
|
| A wealthy Christian merchant of 'Akká who owned a
home on the edge of what is now called Genoa Square. He was a patron
of the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George. Bahá'u'lláh and His
family lived in the house of 'Udí K̲h̲ammár which was attached to
'Abbúd's house. Such were the charges of impiety, atheism, terrorism
and heresy which were leveled against the Holy Family that 'Abbúd
reinforced the partition that separated his house from their dwelling.
Eventually, however, he was won over as a friend and offered a room
in his house for the use of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and Munírih K̲h̲ánum. Later
he rented the whole house to the Holy Family. 'Abbúd died in 1878. |
