Additional Commentary - Hájí 'Abdu’l-Karím-i-Tihrání was a merchant of Tihrán who, in the late 19th century, was residing in Cairo, Egypt. It was 'Abdu’l-Karím who taught the Bahá’í Faith to Dr. Ibráhím George Khayru’lláh (1849-1920), a Christian Arab from Lebanon (see "Ibrahim George Kheiralla and the Bahá’í Faith in America" in From Iran East & West, Vol.2, pp.94-133).
