Most of Baha'u'llah's descendants who broke the Covenant were reabsorbed back into Islam. Some even intermarried with the family of the Mufti of Jerusalem and became PLO leaders. Most left Palestine after 1948 but the granddaughter you mentioned married a Jewish dentist and remained behind. Her father was Muhammad Ali who insisted Baha'u'llah was more of a Sufi Shaykh than a Manifestation. > Bahaullah's descendants joined the mainstream Bahais would they be > eligible for being Guardian or any other special role? No, because they have to be appointed by the previous Guardian and approved by the Hands of the Cause, neither of which is still with us. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-523061-274...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
