Rahmatu'lláh Muhájir

Rahmatu'lláh Muhájir

Raḥmatu'lláh Muhájir (1923-1979) ( _ar. رحمةالله مُهاجر) was a prominent fourth generation Bahá'í, born on 4 April 1923 in the town of 'Abdu'l-'Azím, Iran. In 1954, Dr Muhájir married Írán Furútan, the daughter of `Alí-Akbar Furútan, and together they pioneered to the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia. For their service in responding to the calls of the Ten Year Crusade, they were both named as Knights of Bahá'u'lláh by Shoghi Effendi in March, 1954. By the time he left the Mentawi Islands in 1958, Raḥmat Muhájir's teaching efforts in the Mentawi Islands had helped to establish 12 Bahá'í schools, 33 local Spiritual Assemblies, and about 4,000 individual Bahá'í believers on Siberut Island alone.

Dr Muhájir was elected as a member of the Regional Spiritual Assembly in 1957, and in October of that year he was appointed a Hand of the Cause of God by Shoghi Effendi. The family left Indonesia in 1958 to travel all over the world, inspiring mass teaching campaigns in several developing countries. He died in Ecuador in 1979.
