Shu'á'u'lláh 'Alá'í (1889 - 1984) was a Hand of the Cause of God for the Baha'i Faith appointed by Shoghi Effendi on February, 29 1952.
He was born in Tehran into a prominent family: his father was set to become a cleric, but had converted to the Bahá'í Faith, subsequently becoming physician to the royal household. He himself studied accountancy, after which he pursued a distinguished career in various fields of government service, becoming chief controller of army finances (with the rank of general).
In 1913 he was elected to the Tehran Bahá'í assembly, and in 1934 to the newly formed Iranian Bahá'í national assembly where he frequently served as its chairman.
He left Iran in 1978 and spent the last few years of his life in France and then Arizona.
