Baha'u'llah and His wife, Navvab, the mother of 'Abdu'l-Baha, showed such kindness and favor to Munirih that others understood that they wished her to become the wife of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

The wish of His father and mother became the wish of 'Abdu'l-Baha, too.

He had a warm feeling of love and affection for Munirih which was fully reciprocated, and erelong they became united in marriage.
The marriage proved exceedingly happy and harmonious.

Of the children born to them four daughters have survived the rigors of their long imprisonment, and, through their beautiful lives of service, have endeared themselves to all who have been privileged to know them.
Center of the Covenant Baha'u'llah indicated in many ways the 'Abdu'l-Baha was to direct the Cause after His own ascension.

Many years before His death He declared this in a veiled manner in His Kitab-i-Aqdas.
