The “Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha” may be regarded in some of its features as supplementary to no less weighty a Book than the Kitab-i-Aqdas.
In the Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh, `Abdu'l-Bahá occupies a unique Station unprecedented in the annals of all Religions. Shoghi Effendi explains:
“An attempt I strongly feel should now be made to clarify our minds regarding the station occupied by 'Abdu'l-Bahá and the significance of His position in this holy Dispensation. It would be indeed difficult for us, who stand so close to such a tremendous figure and are drawn by the mysterious power of so magnetic a personality, to obtain a clear and exact understanding of the role and character of One Who, not only in the Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh but in the entire field of religious history, fulfills a unique function. Though moving in a sphere of His own and holding a rank radically different from that of the Author and the Forerunner of the Baha’i Revelation, He, by virtue of the station ordained for Him through the Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh, forms together with them what may be termed the Three Central Figures of a Faith that stands unapproached in the world's spiritual history.” (The World Order of Bahá'u'lláhh, p. 131)
`Abdu'l-Bahá’s contribution to the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, the Bahá'í Faith and humanity in general is enormously great and magnificent. What He did during His lifetime and “His greatest legacy to posterity” i.e. His Will and Testament “the Charter of a future world civilization, which may be regarded in some of its features as supplementary to no less weighty a Book than the Kitab-i-Aqdas” and “an Instrument which may be viewed as the Charter of the New World Order which is at once the glory and the promise of this most great Dispensation.” is so magnificent, glorious and luminous which not only will give light and will illumine many centuries in the future to the end of the Bahá'í Dispensation, but His future glory and radiance has been observed and foreseen by the prophets of the past. For instance it is recorded in the Bible in the Book of Revelation ( 11:15) as follows:"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever.”`Abdu'l-Bahá has explained and unveiled the meaning of this prophecy, in the book Some Answered Questions.

why the sans-guardian bahais do not understand the will of the Master, Abd'ul Baha. It is so simple and crystal clear. It doesn't require any justification.
