Bahíyyih Khánum titled The Greatest Holy Leaf (1846 - July 15, 1932) was the second child and first daughter of Bahá’u’lláh and his wife Ásíyih Khánum. Known by the Persian friends as "Ḥadrat-i-Varaqiyih-'Ulyá" meaning Her Holiness the Greatest Holy Leaf. Beloved by the Bahá’ís, she is regarded as one of the greatest woman to have ever lived. Bahá’u’lláh states: "Verily, We have elevated thee to the rank of one of the most distinguished among thy sex, and granted thee, in My court, a station such as none other woman hath surpassed." She exemplified piety, selflessness and devotion, Shoghi Effendi writes: "May God help us to follow her example.."
