Mírzá Abu'l-Fadl

Who was Mírzá Abu'l-Fadl?

Mírzá Muḥammad, or Mírzá Abu'l-Faḍl-i-Gulpáygání was the foremost Bahá'í scholar who helped spread the Bahá'í Faith in Egypt, Turkmenistan, and the United States. He is one of the few Apostles of Bahá'u'lláh who never actually met Bahá'u'lláh. His given name was Muhammad, and he chose the alias Abu'l-Fadl for himself, but `Abdu'l-Bahá frequently addressed him as Abu'l-Fada'il.
