Death of Lutfu'llah Hakim member of the first Universal House of Justice
Lutfu'llah Hakim (1888 - August 10, 1968) was a member of the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing body of the Baha'i Faith, from 1963 to 1968. Dr. Hakim was born into a family of distinguished Jewish medical doctors in Iran in 1888. His grandfather, Hakim Masih, was the first Jew to embrace the Faith of Baha'u'llah. In 1920, Abdu'l-Baha asked Lutfu'llah Hakim to accompany Shoghi Effendi to England. Dr. Hakim was in Haifa when Abdu'l-Baha passed away in November 1921. In 1924 he returned to Persia and in 1950 he moved again to England. Later the Guardian summoned him to the World Center and he was appointed to the first International Baha'i Council in 1951. He was later elected to the first Universal House of Justice in 1963.
