`Abdu'l-Bahá

`Abdu'l-Bahá was a Persian man who was born on 23 May 1844 and died on 28 November 1921. His father was Bahá'u'lláh who founded the religion known as the Bahá'í Faith.

`Abdu'l-Bahá spent most of his adult life in prison or under arrest, because of his father's new religion.  Bahá'u'lláh called him the "Expounder" of his word, meaning that only `Abdu'l-Bahá had the right to say what Bahá'u'lláh's writings mean.  This was to prevent different people from splitting the religion up because they thought Bahá'u'lláh meant different things, the way many other religions have split up.
