'Abdu'l-Bahá is the Establisher of the Kingdom of Peace

                                         'Abdu'l-Bahá, The Center of the Covenant


"He [Bahá'u'lláh] has brought the Kingdom of Peace upon earth, and as the point of guidance for the further establishment of His Kingdom, He appointed His beloved son 'Abdu'l-Bahá to be the Center of His Covenant, the establisher and promoter of His Kingdom and Peace in the world.  'Abdu'l-Bahá's life of service is the Center of the life of the Kingdom which is the Bahá'í Cause.  His servitude to God and service to mankind is the heart from which the life force of the Kingdom is flowing to all the members of that growing spiritual body.  He is the interpreter and expounder of the Holy Writings. Bahá'u'lláh commanded all to turn to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, who is the Greatest Branch - branched from the pre-existent Root - the Center of the Covenant of God."

The Covenant Trilogy by Charles Gaines, 1960

  The GUARDIANSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION FIRST INTRODUCTION             In the face of such trials and tests as these times are likely to lay upon the entire Baha'i World, it is imperative that we take a second look at Baha'i and see what it is that this beloved Faith of ours teaches, stands for and requires, if it is to be triumphant over the sinister forces of nature and of an unregenerate humanity.  It is clearly evident how “humanity is languishing upon a bed of sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned.” and it behooves all men to examine anew the remedy that has been prescribed by the Divine Physician, which alone can “deliver mankind from this desolating affliction” and “fuse its discordant, elements” into one organic, indivisible whole; to ponder dispassionately and penetrate, to depths unparalleled, the “wholesome medicine”, the “Elixir” that can “cleanse and revive” a humanity sick unto death; to st...

E.S. Yazdani, Fifth Bahá'í Guardian: A Response to “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988: A Survey of Contemporary Developments.” by Smith-Momen

  O THOU GLORY OF THE MOST GLORIOUS Office of Fifth Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith   When the fundamental basis of the Bahá’í Faith is interfered with , the very foundation of the Bahá’í Administration changes. Furthermore, the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh deviates from its divinely established course; the authentic Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh, as defined in The Kitáb-i-Ahd , The Kitáb-i-Aqdas , and The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá , is replaced by a man-made covenant, altering the standards of the Bahá’í Faith; progress and development in the present administration in Haifa as well as in the worldwide community of believers lose their meaning and is no longer relevant. This is true regardless of any period surveyed or comparison made to another time.   This is the case in an article written by Peter Smith and Moojan Momen. The article appeared on Bahá’ì Library Online 1 , as well as on Academia 1 , under the title, “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988...
