Vakílu'd-Dawlih

Afnán-i-Yazdí ( _ar. أفنان اليازدي), also known as Hájí Mírzá Muhammad-Taqí, surnamed Vakílu'd-Dawlih (1830-1909) was an eminent follower of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, a global religion of Persian origin. He is identified as one of the nineteen Apostles of Bahá'u'lláh.

He was an Afnán, a cousin of the Báb and the chief builder of the first Bahá'í House of Worship in 'Ishqábád, present day Turkmenistan, which had been initiated by `Abdu'l-Bahá in or about 1902.
