    Baha'i Scripture Quotes thread (DIR)

    From Baha'u'llah's tablet "Tajallíyát" (Effulgences): "Well is it with the man of discernment who hath recognized and perceived the Truth, and the one possessed of a hearing ear who hath hearkened unto His sweet Voice, and the hand that hath received His Book with such resolve as is born of...

    What does your faith say and do to promote race unity?

    Same as y'all ;) And we can look back to the previous dispensation to see Prophet Muhammad (A.S.) with the same boldness (from his famous Farewell Sermon): "All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a...

    Baha'i Scripture Quotes thread (DIR)

    Another: Paragraph 81 of Kitab i-Iqan: It is evident that the changes brought about in every Dispensation constitute the dark clouds that intervene between the eye of man’s understanding and the divine Luminary which shineth forth from the dayspring of the divine Essence. Consider how men for...

    Baha'i Scripture Quotes thread (DIR)

    Hello fellow Baha'i's, I noticed that there wasn't a thread for quotes and general fellowship around it so I will start one myself :) From the Gleanings, chapter XIX: To every discerning and illuminated heart it is evident that God, the unknowable Essence, the Divine Being, is immensely...

    Question about Baha'i scripture

    I think that a fuller understanding of what you're asking is more important. And I don't speak from a Baha'i or even Islamic perspective here but of the Judeo-Christian turbulence of the 1st century CE. On one hand, we have Jesus himself saying various things as recorded in the four NT Gospels...

    The Good, the Bad and God

    Also btw: Misconception: Islam and The Quran promotes slavery Quran does not legitimize slavery - Egypt Independent Prophet Muhammad (A.S.) came out of a time were slavery was widespread in a place were. It wasn't as bad as the Protestant slavery of African Americans in the colonial period...

    Proof of Islam?

    Just as Jews don't recognize Christianity and Christians don't recognize Islam.

    Proof of Islam?

    @Trailblazer Interestingly from section 165 of the Gleanings from the writings of Baha'u'llah, states: "Know thou that every hearing ear, if kept pure and undefiled, must, at all times and from every direction, hearken to the voice that uttereth these holy words: "Verily, we are God's, and to...

    Proof of Islam?

    Agreed :p

    Proof of Islam?

    This is correct and the Qur'an agrees on this entirely, the point your missing though is the omnipresence of God, as well as the ontological dependence of all things on the Ultimate Reality (God). The end of the quote from Baha'u'llah (A.S.) is very case-in-point to what I'm saying "To this...

    Proof of Islam?

    Precisely as I have said above in different language.

    Proof of Islam?

    In part perhaps, as throughout the Qur'an it states "Everything returns to Allah". However at the same time, everything comes into being and then has it's expiry point. The self, nor the soul, neither really go anywhere because they are temporary conditional consciousness' that serve the role of...

    What's the opposite of anti-fascist?

    And: Sounds like Trump and Antifa are doing literally the same thing.

    What's the opposite of anti-fascist?

    Antifa are a curse and shame to the left. You don't get to call yourself "anti-fascist" if you're going to display fascist traits.

    Proof of Islam?

    And of course, Advaitists experience their everyday waking state from the point of separation, so you @Aupmanyav are asking non-questions. We are speaking to each other as if we are separate because we are experiencing reality as separate. From the perspective of God (Absolute Reality), there is...

    Proof of Islam?

    I am nothing, God is everything. Prayer is not worshiping myself, it is remembrance (dhikr) of The Real. As the Qur'an states "Remember me and I will remember you" (Surah 2:152), this relates to comprehending the Divine (Absolute Reality/God) through practices like prayer and mantra. Through...
