    New letter regarding the implementation of the Badí‘ calendar

    But I wasn't asking about the Twin Birthdays. I was asking about the Declaration of Báb and Martyrdom of the Báb.

    New letter regarding the implementation of the Badí‘ calendar

    Hi. Have you seen the new letter from the House of Justice? I'm thrilled about this change. I've been looking forward to the day when Naw-Rúz is set to the moment of the vernal equinox. And not just to the gregorian calendar. Which I believe could fluctuate on three days. But I don't...

    How many prayers are there?

    I'm just thinking about translated prayers. Not untranslated prayers and not tablets. But thank you for your answer.

    How many prayers are there?

    I was wondering if anyone knows how many bahá'í prayers have been translated into English, and is there any place online where I can read them all? I'm also interested to know how many prayers were revealed, but I guess that's a much more difficult question.

    Map of Abdu'l-Baha's travel

    Over the next few months baha's celebrate the 100 year aniversary of Abdu'l-Baha's travel to the west. Does anyone know of a map that shows where he went? Similar to the one showing Baha'u'llah's travel http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XZId7ooD_UQ/S9Ujf08PNDI/AAAAAAAADN0/MSbaEnIDyio/s1600/7143.jpg

    Baha'i Prayer

    An even easier way is to go to http://www.qiblih.com and look up your street. It gives you a Google Maps image of your house.

    Unity of Abrahamic Faiths in RF

    You must have misunderstood me. I'm saying we don't need to agree on that to be able to work together. Although I agree to it, I'm tolerant to people who don't.

    Unity of Abrahamic Faiths in RF

    I mostly agree, except that there are at least 4 Abrahamic faith's. And some of these points sound good, but don't reflect reality. For example nr one, I believe that I'm worshiping the same God as other people, but I understand that some people think I'm worshiping a false deity. That's...

    The Baha'i Calendar:

    I am building a mailing list on MailChimp.com for the bahá'ís in Reykjavík that would send out information about every 19 day feast. I was hoping to have a different image for every month that would reference the name of the month. Are there any designers out there interested in creating 19...

    Bahá'í election

    We are soon entering the time of year when bahá'ís around the world elect their spiritual assemblies, both local and national. Here in Iceland we have 6 local assemblies and, of course, one national. At every election we are reminded of the quote from Shoghi Effendi about the qualities we are to...

    CRAAAAAZY thought

    Am I the only one that loved Tron Legacy? In my community this subject has come up more then once. I imagine that the world will be very different from now. I'm sure people will have evolved a lot, mostly spiritually. 1000 years is a long time, and we don't know, it might even be longer. It...

    Fasting no night shifts

    Are you a bahá'í?

    Fasting no night shifts

    Is there any guidance on how one should fast while on night shifts? I feel it's kind of cheating to fast while one is asleep.

    Mount Carmel

    Thanks for that. I posted the video on my facebook :) I'm also interested in the prophecies about the mountain. Do you know anything about that. Why were there german pilgrims in Haifa at the time of Bahaullah?
