1942 25 Jun 194-	'Abdu'l-Jalíl Bey Sa'ad died in Egypt and Shoghi Effendi appointed him to the rank of Hand of the Cause of God on the day of his passing. [LoF57-59; MoCxxii; BW9:597] For his obituary see BW9:597–9. 'Abdu'l-Jalíl Bey Sa'ad was, for many years, the president of the National Spiritual Assembly and a judge in the Civil Courts in Egypt. Through his sustained effort the Declaration of Trust was recognized as valid and legalized in 1934. He made an important contribution in translating into Arabic. Among his accomplishments were The Dawn-Breakers, Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era, Laws of Personal Status and Rules of Procedure. In 1941 he employed the Declaration of Trust as an instrument to induce the Ministry of Civil Defence to grant permission to build the Hazíratu'l-Quds in Cairo. While supervising this project in the intense heat he fell ill and died suddenly after an operation.	* Translation; - Arabic language; - Biographies; - Births and deaths; - Hands of the Cause; - In Memoriam; `Abdu’l-Jalíl Bey Sa‘d; Dawn-Breakers (book); Declaration of Trust and By-laws; Egypt; Hands appointed posthumously by Shoghi Effendi; Hands of the Cause, Activities; Hands of the Cause, Births and deaths; Haziratul-Quds (Bahá'í centres); John Esslemont
