Túbá Khánum (1880-1959), was the second surviving daughter of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and His wife, Munírih Khánum.

Born in the Prison City, Ṭúbá Khánum gave a detailed account of her early life with the holy family which can be read in The Chosen Highway by Lady Blomfield. She married Mírzá Muḥsin Afnán (1863-1927), a cousin of the Báb. The couple had four children;

Rúḥá (1899-1971)
Thurayyá (she married an expelled son of Sayyid 'Alí Afnán)
Suhayl
Fu'ád (d. 1943)
All the children took the surname Afnán. A series of marriages between covenant breakers caused Ṭúbá Khánum, and all survivng grandchildren of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, save Shoghi Effendi, to be excommunicated.
