12 chapters written by Baha'i scholars cover almost all aspects of the life and the teachings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá.

A large part of the book discusses the important role of the Baha'i teachings in raising awareness of the Iranian society at the time of the constitutional revolution of Iran in 1905. The equality of the rights of men and women as well as the importance of education of the girls, both hot issues in Iran today, are emphasized.
