Fátimih Khánum (Persian: فاطمه خانم) was the wife of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, eldest son of Bahá’u’lláh and Ásíyih Khánum. She is the grandmother of Shoghi Effendi.
Coming from the renowned Bábí-Bahá'í family; Nahrí Family, she was born in Isfahán. She was chosen at the age of 23, to be the wife of the Master, for whom she bore nine children. Four daughters survived to adulthood. During her fifty or so years of marriage to 'Abdu'l-Bahá she became His beloved confidante. The ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá devastated her. Known by the friends as Holy Mother, Munírih Khánum served as the matriarch type figure after the passing of the Greatest Holy Leaf. Her diligent efforts of shielding her family from the Covenant Breakers helped her grandson. Munírih Khánum spent most of her life devoted to piety and the Holy Family. She was very close to her sister-in-law Bahíyyih Khánum. The Holy Mother wrote many letters to the friends, encouraging them to include women in Bahá’í activities and to understand the equality of the sexes. Shoghi Effendi had a monument built in her honour, where she is currently buried.
