Dhikru'llah Khadem

Dhikru'llah Khadem (Arabic: ذكر الله خادم‎, transliterated as Zikru'llah and Khádem or Khadim; 1904–1986)[1] was a prominent follower of the Baháʼí Faith, appointed to be a Hand of the Cause by Shoghi Effendi in 1952.[2]

He served as treasurer of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baháʼís of Iran for a time,[3] and later became the first Hand of the Cause to move to the Western Hemisphere.

He also travelled around the world for Shoghi Effendi, then head of the Baháʼí Faith, to over 50 countries including Canada, Malaysia and Japan.[1][4] At the Baháʼí Nikko Conference in Nikko, Japan, Dhikru'llah Khadem was the Guardian's representative.[5]
