The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Arabian Peninsula is a regional body responsible for administrating Bahá’í communities in the Arabian Peninsula.
History[edit]
The National Spiritual Assembly of the Arabian Peninsula was established in 1957 at the first National Convention of Arabia which was held in Manama, Bahrain, and seventeen delegates cast votes in the inaugural election.[1] As of 1962 regions with Bahá’í communities under the Assemblies jurisdiction were the Aden Protectorate, Bahrain, Hijaz, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.[2]
In 1967 the Assembly was reconstituted and renamed the National Spiritual Assembly of Eastern and Southern Arabia,[3] and in 1972 its jurisdiction changed when the National Spiritual Assemblies of Eastern Arabia and Kuwait were formed.[4]
