The Centre of the Covenant. ‘Abdu'l-Bahá Himself stated: ‘In accordance with the explicit text of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas Bahá'u'lláh hath made the Centre of the Covenant the Interpreter of His Word . . . ‘18 and further, ‘I am the Interpreter of the Word of God . . ."19 In His Will and Testament ‘Abdu'l-Bahá appointed Shoghi Effendi as the ‘expounder of the words of God' after Him. Apart from ‘Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi, no one can authoritatively interpret the Writings.
