The Greatest Holy Leaf, Bahíyyih Khánum (1846 - July 15, 1932) was the second child and first daughter of Bahá’u’lláh and his wife Ásíyih Khánum. Known by the Persian freinds as "Ḥadrat-i-Varaqiyih-'Ulyá" meaning Her Holiness the Greatest Holy Leaf. Beloved by the Bahá’ís, she is regarded as one of the greatest woman to have ever lived.
She stayed faithful to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi during their ministries. Unusually she chose never to marry, rather devote her life to the Cause. After the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in 1921, she helped the then 24 year old Shoghi Effendi with his obligations. Under her care, the Holy Family remained united and with the help from her close friend Munírih Khánum the covenant breakers remained distant.
Her passing in 1932 was a cruel blow to the Holy Family, in particular Shoghi Effendi. Amatu'l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum describes how “he [Shoghi Effendi] never ceased to remember her.” Complying with the wishes of his adored great-aunt, Shoghi Effendi erected a monument where she is buried next to her illustrious mother, beloved brother and dearly loved sister-in-law.
