Abd al-Hosayn Ayati

Abd al Ḥosayn Ayati (1871—1953) was a Baháʼí who was a contemporary of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, who gave him the titles of "Raʾīs-al-moballeḡīn" (Chief of Missionaries) and "Avarih" (Wanderer).[citation needed]

In 1920s, Shoghi Effendi sent Avarih to England to teach the Baháʼí Faith. Former member of the Universal House of Justice, Luṭfu'lláh Ḥakím, served as his translator during this visit.[1]

He later became a Muslim and an opponent of the Baháʼí Faith, being considered a Covenant-breaker.[citation needed] He returned to Tehran and spent the rest of his life as a secondary school teacher.[citation needed] During this period he wrote Kashf al-Hial, a three volume work refuting the Baháʼí Faith.[2] He was labelled by Shoghi Effendi as a "shameless apostate".[3]

The numerous references made to Avarih in John Esslemont's book Baháʼu'lláh and the New Era were removed in subsequent editions published after Avarih's apostasy from the Baháʼí Faith.[4]
