Baháʼí Leader Rúhíyyih Khánum Passes Away
Ruhiyyih Khanum, born Mary Maxwell in Montreal, spent five decades traveling to over 185 countries to spread the Baha'i Faith after her husband Shoghi Effendi's death in 1957. As a Hand of the Cause of God, she became the most visible international advocate for the faith, establishing communities across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Her tireless fieldwork transformed the Baha'i Faith from a primarily Middle Eastern religion into a genuinely global movement.
