On the bright side there are Muslims standing up for Baha'is. Every Muslim ought to stand up for religious liberty. The Muslim Network for Baha’i Rights

Baha'u'llah didn't "try" to fill the shoes of what the Bab was suggesting. The Bab knew exactly Who Baha'u'llah was and named Him Baha.

I was there in May 2003, I love it! :) It was bigger than I anticipated. I went to it from the north, looked up, and there it was! It's about the size of the dome on the capital building in Washington, D.C., right? I've been to D.C. more often... I grew up near there.

We believe that Baha'u'llah is the Promised One of all the major world religions. We believe He is the Return of Christ in the Glory of the Father, the Lord of Hosts, the One extolled by Isaiah. We believe He brought the remedy the world needs, that He gave us everything we need for a united...

What's unique in the Baha'i Faith is the Adminstrative Order that is both democratic and divinely ordained, we believe. I'll give a short explanation, but if you want to talk about it more, you are very welcome to post a new topic in the Baha'i forum about it. Each locality that has nine or...

Hallo Ciel! :) I think the Flower referred to in the above quote is Baha'u'llah. Baha'i Temples have nine sides (and Baha'u'llah has nine letters in Latin script) ...nine represents unity in diversity and the nine sides welcome people from all religions to worship our loving Creator...

Baha'u'llah said the purpose of life is to know God and to love God. World Peace was rejected by the kings and emperors that Baha'u'llah wrote to. They chose war instead and lost all their empires. World Peace is coming. It is a process. It takes the free will of people to follow the advice that...

Re: A Center of Illumination... :D "Hear Me, ye mortal birds! In the Rose Garden of changeless splendor a Flower hath begun to bloom, compared to which every other flower is but a thorn, and before the brightness of Whose glory the very essence of beauty must pale and wither. Arise...

"Know thou that the soul of man is exalted above, 154 and is independent of all infirmities of body or mind. That a sick person showeth signs of weakness is due to the hindrances that interpose themselves between his soul and his body, for the soul itself remaineth unaffected by any bodily...

Have you read any of the Writings of Baha'u'llah? I sincerely believe Baha'u'llah is from God. Baha'is come from every country and religion. Many people in Iran who had not accepted Muhammad became Baha'is and did accept Muhammad when Baha'u'llah came. Zoroastrians, Christians, Jews, along with...

I like the Yusuf Ali translation.

You might say, "oh but the sheep are supposed to be gathered together into one fold." And in my religion, the Baha'i Faith, people come from every background, Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, etc. I myself was Mormon before searching and becoming a Baha'i. The four...

Sounds good to me. Tolerance is a good thing, and religious tolerance... tolerance for religious differences... is totally essential in our shrinking world.

I have two reasons I guessed autumn for the birth of Jesus. My first reason was a footnote in a Qur'an saying that Mary, after giving birth, shook a fig tree and figs fell for her to eat. It said that the figs are ripe in the autumn... My other reason is that both the Bab and Baha'u'llah were...

The names of Christmas and Halloween were Christianized, but Easter still has the pre-Christian name.

For seekers, there's also an online Baha'i study center: The Bahá'í Study Center

Feed my sheep... many sheep I have which are not of this fold.... The Qur'an feeds people spiritually. The Bayan, which you may not have heard of, feeds people spiritually. The Writings of Baha'u'llah feed people spiritually. The Torah feeds people spiritually. The Gospels feed people...

Many paths to the city.... Baha'i Houses of Worship have nine sides for that very purpose.. welcoming people from all backgrounds to worship our Creator.

(none of us can tell Him what to do) If He wants to send someone else in His name and call His followers by a new name... In fact, didn't He say He would come with a new name?

He can do what He wants to do :)
