Why Baha’u’llah in his will and Testament appointed two Guardians at a time?
Baha’u’llah’s Will and Testaments
Verily God hath ordained the station of the Greater Branch [Muhammad Ali] to be beneath that of the Most Mightiest Branch [Abdu'l-Bahá]. He is in truth the Ordainer, the All-Wise. We have chosen ‘the Greater’ after ‘the Most Mightiest, as decreed by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
Although in the last will of Baha’u’llah, “The Book of My Covenant”, Abbas Effendi was willed as a favor on him to occupy a great position, whereby he was clothed with the role of his Father, and on him was hung all the glory of his Father’s house, yet God had chosen as a command from all knowing all wise, his brother Mohammed Ali Effendi Ghusne Akbar to occupy the same position, after Abbas Effendi. Now, why had God appointed both brothers to occupy the same position one after the other..? Because the knowledge of God realized that the first appointed one Abbas Effendi, will not perform the function of that position. So it was necessary to appoint the Second brother Mohammed Ali Effendi that the function of that Great position may be fully performed.
What is the function of that Great position..? It is to impart to mankind the message of the most High to free them from the bonds of ignorance, through the teachings which were revealed in the Utterances of Baha’u’llah.
And as much as Abbas Effendi is claiming Divinity, he was so busy in his own teachings to support his claims, that he could not pay any attention nor has any time to promulgate the teachings of the Father as his writings and epistles and those of his followers bear witness.
But his brother Mohammed Ali Effendi, who was chosen after Abbas Effendi, claims nothing what so ever for himself. He declared that he is no more nor less than a finger-post pointing to Baha’u’llah and to His teachings, which suffice the whole world.

|
He kept aside teachings of his Father and was busy in bragging about himself. |
He took care of
ailing Aghsan Ziya”u’llah Effendi as per instruction of his father “to take
care of Aghsan.”
|
He abandoned his

|
When Abbas Effendi
stopped there monthly expenses he took care of family and borrowed money from
friends to feed the family of Baha’u’llah.
|
He stopped their
monthly expenses and kept all money and gift which was pouring from all over
the world for himself and his children.
|
He was humbly
meeting all the guest who use to visit tomb of Baha’u’llah.
|
He use to asked
the people not to meet his brothers, and used to uttered bad words about
them.
|
He never uttered

covenant breaker, Mole, black ship.

the entire family of Baha’u’llah.
|
He tried to
resolve the issue through Lady Templeton, His Son Shua’u’llah, Qamar Behai,
to sit and discussed the difference and have open debate in front of
believers.
|
He refused all
such invitation since he was aware that he will lose.
|
This is the reason we Unitarian Baha’is believe that Abbas Effendi failed in promoting the teachings of Baha’u’llah and created the hatreds and conflict in family and society, hence he was spiritually excommunicated and his brother Mohammed Ali Effendi became the leader of faith, as Baha’u’llah has predicted and nominated two of his Son as his successor, Abbas Effendi failed and Mohammed Ali Effendi succeeded.
