‘Alí-Muhammad Nabílí (d. 1945) was a Persian Bahá’í who was one of the earliest pioneers to Afghanistan.
Background[edit]
Nabílí was an active Bahá’í in his youth serving on the Unity of the East and West Committee and the Youth Association of Tehran as of 1932.[1] He moved to India in the 1930's where he learnt English.[2]
In 1938 Nabílí secured permission to move to Afghanistan for business purposes and the National Spiritual Assembly of Iran assisted him in moving to the country as it had previously been impossible for a Bahá’í to secure a visa to enter the country.[2] He settled in Kabul and remained in the country until approximately 1942.[3]
Nabílí returned to India in the 1940's and he was elected to the National Spiritual Assembly of India and Burma serving as the bodies President as of 1944. He passed away in Kirman, Iran, in 1945.[4]
