| Mírzá Muḥammad-'Alí |
|
| Pronunciation: mere-zaw-moham-mad-a-lee |
|
| Redirected from: Arch-breaker of the Covenant; Greater Branch; Ghusn-i-A'ẓam |
|
| A son of Bahá'u'lláh and half-brother of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá who became the Arch-Breaker of Bahá'u'lláh's Covenant. |
| Bahá'u'lláh had given Muḥammad-'AlI, called the ‘Greater Branch' (Ghusn-i-Akbar), a rank second to ‘Abdu'l-Bahá, but after Bahá'u‘lláh's Will was read, the jealous Muḥammad-'AlI tried to discredit and subvert both the Will and its object, ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. He began a campaign of lies, calumnies and forgery; he even plotted against ‘Abdu'l-Bahá's life and intrigued to have ‘Abdu'l-Bahá imprisoned again by the Turkish authorities. Those who followed Mubammad-'AlI are considered Covenant-breakers. Muḥammad-'Ali died alone and unsupported, repudiated by the Bahá'í community, and was buried by Muslim rites in an unmarked grave. |
