Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia

"When Bahá’u’lláh passed away, He left the execution of His Divine Plan in the hands of His son. He appointed ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as the Centre of His Covenant and asked His followers to turn to Him for guidance. The name “‘Abdu’l-Bahá” means the servant of Bahá. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was the eldest son of Bahá’u’lláh, and was born on the 23 May 1844—the very same night that the Báb declared His Mission. A blessed son was born to a blessed house at a blessed hour. . . . The appointment of the Centre of the Covenant is a unique characteristic of the Bahá’í Faith. All the religions of the past became divided after the death of their Founders because the followers did not know where to turn after the Manifestation of God had left them. They started to interpret the teachings of God as they themselves understood them and, as they did not understand them the same way, these teachings were explained in different forms. This became the cause of disunity among the followers of the past religions. In the Bahá’í Faith, however, the case has been different." [Fatheazam: New Garden]
