Baha'i World Faith Information on the Baha'i world Faith. Believersweb.org Abdul Baha had appointed his grandson to be the first Guardian of the cause of God, and Shoghi Effendi made full use of the authority vested in him, demanding absolute obedience and excommunicating all who, in any manner, questioned him.

Abdul Baha died in 1921 and, by a directive in his will, was succeeded by his grandson, Shoghi Effendi, who ruled until his death in 1957. www.believersweb.org /view.cfm?ID=631   (4213 words)

odp-chapter5.html ABDUL BAHA: His Holiness Christ said: "The Father is in me." This we must understand through logical and scientific evidences, for if religious principles do not accord with science and reason, they do not inspire the heart with confidence and assurance. ABDUL BAHA: Our aim is to free the foundation of religion from its moss grown dogmas; to dispel the black impenetrable fog of creed so that the regions may be flooded and illumined. ABDUL BAHA: Our belief in regard to Christ is exactly what is recorded in the New Testament; however, we elucidate this matter and do not speak literally or in a manner based merely on blind belief. members.spinn.net /~hindiogine/odp-chapter5.html   (2565 words)

Mirza Ahmad Sohrab's Broken Silence The Story of Today's Struggle for Religious Freedom. New York: Universal Publishing, 1942. Abdul Baha said that a man who lives his life according to the teachings of Baha-O-Llah is already a Bahai; he did not say that a man who writes his name on the dotted line, prepared by the Bahai organization, is a Bahai. According to this concept, the plans of Baha-O-Llah and Abdul Baha in regard to the election of the members of the House of Justice by *universal suffrage*, or by *universal suffrage, that is by the believers*, merge into one. Abdul Baha had sounded the clarion call: No Organization in the Bahai Cause; and the echo of this order reverberated through the corridors of the minds and spirits, for a time--and then it died away" (277-278). www.fglaysher.com /bahaicensorship/SohrabEx.htm   (11063 words)

The Carbondale House of Justice Abdul Baha was specifically asked whether he too was a prophet. There are repeated attempts in the AO notes to the Kitab-i-Aqdas to equate Abdul Baha to the prophet hood of Baha’u’llah. In his Will Abdul Baha states nine as an absolute, “The Hands of the Cause of God must elect from their own number nine persons” Yet in another context Abdul Baha states that “The number nine contains eight, and seven, and all the other numbers, and does not deny any of them.” www.angelfire.com /nv/vanda/formingLHJ.html   (2430 words)

UCLA Baha'í Association: Info. about the Baha'i Faith.

Welcome to Adobe GoLive 5 Abdul Baha, Baha'u'llah, and George Townshend all observe that mankind universally degenerates the truth in every "dispensation" to the "utmost degradation", "lost in the blindest fanaticism", "decayed, ruined and upset", truth being "entirely destroyed and annihilated", all religions becoming "a body without a soul". In the fact that both Abdul Baha and Baha'u'llah go to great lengths in their writings to draw as similarities, the historic rejection of past religious founders with the same fundamental patterns of human behavior with respect to rejection of Baha'i religion, we see yet another terrible double standard of internally contradictory teachings. Abdul Baha has told us that there isn't any progression but instead universal degeneration and that's why the world's religions "seem" to be different. home.insightbb.com /~howdybud/Fireside/ch02.html   (12006 words)

Twenty-seven Therefore only Abdul Baha or Shoghi Effendi can tell us whether passage 42 of the Aqdas means a break in the line of Guardians or not, since making such a statement involves interpreting the Writings of Bahaullah. Only Abdul Baha or Shoghi Effendi can tell us who "people of Baha" in passage 42 of the Aqdas refers to, since making such a statement involves interpreting the Writings of Bahaullah. If the latter case does not make sense so does the former since in both cases there is a clear deviation from the composition of the UHJ given by Abdul Baha in his Will. meltingpot.fortunecity.com /andorra/514/twenty-seven.html   (1118 words)

Dervish - Africa's Sheikhs & Imams meet to disavow FGM Actually Brother Abdul Aziz, that site had removed the offending comments about Arab and European female sexuality some time ago, so I highly doubt the fatwa to which you are referring is the one that I am. Abdul Aziz, the site Maryam mentioned couldn't possibly be speaking about the practice that the Prophet (peace be upon him) endorsed. From my understanding, the idea of female circumcision the sunnah way is not to curb or reduce a woman's "dangerous" sexuality at all. www.maryams.net /dervish/index.php/2005/02/04/africa_s_sheikhs_aamp_imams_meet_to_disa   (610 words)
