Abd al Ḥosayn Ayati (1871—1953) was a Persian cleric, poet, historian, journalist, and teacher. Up until the age of 30 he was a Shia cleric who then converted to the Baha'i faith.[1] He left the Baha'i faith 18 years later and wrote a number of polemical works describing his experience and why he reverted back to Shia Islam. ٌWhile a Baháʼí he was a contemporary of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, who gave him the titles of "Raʾīs-al-moballeḡīn" (Chief of Missionaries) and "Avarih" (Wanderer).[2]
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.[3]
After reverting to Islam he openly opposed the Baháʼí Faith and was considered a Covenant-breaker. He returned to Tehran and spent the rest of his life as a secondary school teacher.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".[4]
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.[5]
