Stories Told by 'Abdu'l-Baha

The stories presented in this compilation are not about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá – they are written or told by Him. In His writings and in His talks, formal or informal, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá used stories to explain to His readers or audiences the principles of the Bahá’í Faith, to clarify for them a topic, to help them find meaning in their lives, to acquaint them with some religious and historical people and episodes, to warn them against the harmful activities of the enemies of the Faith, to remind them of the saintly lives of some of the early believers and to entertain them.
