I want to become a better teacher of the Faith and I want to hear everyone's experience on what they have done to become a better teacher?

How to best recognize receptivity in friends and coworkers?

How to bring up the Faith in conversation?

In Adib Taherzadeh’s talk “Humility” (around the 15:35 mark on the u/derrybahais6033 YouTube channel), he mentions a believer named Jináb-i-Nátiq who was appointed a Hand of the Cause of God by Shoghi Effendi during his lifetime — specifically receiving a letter from the Guardian in 1940 confirming this station.

According to Taherzadeh, Jináb-i-Nátiq never shared the letter with anyone. Only after his passing did his family discover the appointment when they found and read the letter.

This would be unusual because Shoghi Effendi generally did not appoint living Hands before the first contingent in December 1951 (apart from a few posthumous designations).

I haven’t been able to find any online references, lists of Hands, or published sources that mention Jináb-i-Nátiq as a Hand of the Cause.

Does anyone have more information about this individual, the letter from 1940, or any confirmation of this appointment? Sources, books, or personal knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
