Among the Baha’is, Abdu’l-Baha has an extraordinary personality and is typically more credible than Bahau’llah. Abdu’l-Baha has repeatedly referred to himself as the “servant of his father “and so has chosen the title’ Abdu’l-Baha. -What is understood from the meaning of Abd (servant) is pure obedience and devotion to God ( here his father). However, during his life we see many instances of obedience violations! In this article first we study the Abdu’l-Baha’s obedience, and then survey Abdu’l-Baha’s self-centeredness in adding teachings that were not found in Bahaullah’s books and traditions. In this study, the contradictions between the words of Abdu’l-Baha and Bahau’llah, in teachings such as the seeking for truth, the conformity of religion with science and reason, the equality of the rights of men and women, and the discussion of the establishment of the Universal House of Justice have been examined.

Baha'is also consider the choice of this title as a form of his humility and modesty before Baha'u'llah and, for this reason, attribute extraordinary prestige to him; however, by studying the life of Abdu'l-Baha, we see that in various positions, he has uttered words contrary to the teachings and beliefs of Baha'u'llah in response to the word of Baha'u'llah, and despite not being given permission to issue laws, he has established new teachings that Baha'u'llah did not believe in at all.

Abdu'l-Baha introduces his father's faith in this way: "Fourth, the teaching of Baha'u'llah is that religion and science are inseparable.
