Shua Ullah Behai

Shua Ullah Behai[1] was the eldest grandson of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder-prophet of the Bahá'í Faith, and the eldest son of Mírzá Muhammad `Alí, whom Bahá'u'lláh named Ghusn-i-Akbar, meaning "Greater Branch."[2] Shua Ullah Behai immigrated to the United States in 1904 where he led the Unitarian Baha'i denomination, and in 1914 he became a Unitd States citizen in Los Angeles. Behai compiled an introduction to the Baha'i faith in the 1940s, the documents of which were preserved by his niece Nigar Bahai Amsalem and published in A Lost History of the Baha'i Faith: The Progressive Tradition of Baha'u'llah's Forgotten Family.[1] From 1934 to 1937, Behai published Behai Quarterly,[3] a Unitarian Bahá'í magazine written in English and featuring the writings of Ghusn-i-Akbar and various other Unitarian Bahais.[4]
