Our Verdant Isle‘Abdu’l-Baha also acquired a garden called Na’mayn, which was an island in the midst of a stream within a short distance of ‘Akka. It was close to the man-made hill named after Napoleon Bonaparte, which had been raised to mount Napoleon’s cannons for the bombardment of the city. ‘Ridvan’, reminiscent of the garden of Najib Pasha outside Baghdad where He had first declared His Mission, was the designation which Baha’u’llah bestowed upon the garden of Na’mayn.
