| Munírih K̲h̲ánum |
|
| Pronunciation: |
|
| Redirected from: Holy Mother |
|
| The Holy Mother, wife of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. She was the daughter of Mírzá Muḥammad-'Alíy-i-Nahrí by his second wife. |
| The first wife of Mírzá Muḥammad-'Alí had borne no children, and the second wife was also childless until the Báb intervened. At a banquet in honour of the Báb, the brother of Mírzá Muḥammad-'Alí asked the Báb to intercede on his brother's behalf so that the couple might have a child. The Báb took a portion of his food and directed that it be taken to Mírzá Muḥammad-'Alí and his wife. ‘Let them partake of this; their wish will be fulfilled.' In due course a baby daughter was born to the couple, whom they named Fáṭimih. Bahá'u'lláh later on gave her the name Munírih (Illumined).38 She married ‘Abdu'l-.Bahá in about 1873 and passed away in 1938. |
