The Bah‡`’ World, Vol. 18, Part Five: In Memoriam Although Jah‡n was a fierce opponent of the Bah‡`’ Faith at the time of her marriage and for some time later, she embraced the Cause of the Blessed Beauty and became a devout servant as a result of a dream in which she saw Bah‡`u'll‡h. Ardeshir's Bah‡`’ life was lived entirely in the spirit of the words of Shoghi Effendi who encouraged the believers to be `like the fountain or spring that is continually emptying itself of all it has and is continually being refilled from an invisible source. To the distress caused by the implications for the Bah‡`’ community of êr‡n of the arrest of the National Assembly was now added the agony of separation from her husband of thirty-three years. bahai-library.com /books/bw18/773-800.html   (15054 words)

Test All Things Bah's believe that there is only one God, the Creator of the universe. Of particular sacred significance to Bah'is are calligraphic forms of the word Bah (Arabic for Glory), known as the Greatest Name, a reference to Bah'u'llh. It does not save us from the stain of some original sin, nor does it protect us from some external evil force or devilsalvation in any age, Bah's believe, is to turn again towards God, to accept his Manifestation for that day, and to follow his teachings. www.testallthings.org /bahaifaith.html   (2595 words)

wob.doc Theirs is not the purpose, while endeavoring to conduct and perfect the administrative affairs of their Faith, to violate, under any circumstances, the provisions of their country's constitution, much less to allow the machinery of their administration to supersede the government of their respective countries. The authority and features of their administration were wholly inferred, and indirectly derived, with more or less justification, from certain vague and fragmentary references which they found scattered amongst His utterances as recorded in the Gospel. To dissociate the administrative principles of the Cause from the purely spiritual and humanitarian teachings would be tantamount to a mutilation of the body of the Cause, a separation that can only result in the disintegration of its component parts, and the extinction of the Faith itself. wilmetteinstitute.org /writings/wob.doc   (12294 words)

re: Limits on promoting ideas These relate chiefly to the behaviour of a very small group of Bah�s who, rejecting all efforts of the administrative institutions to counsel and appeal to them, have aggressively sought to promote their misconceptions of the Teachings among their fellow believers. It has not even forbidden the reading of Covenant-breaking material: "To read the writings of Covenant-breakers is not forbidden to the believers and does not constitute in itself an act of Covenant-breaking.... However, the friends are warned in the strongest terms against reading such literature..."

5. THE BAHA'I COMMUNITY Bahá'ís, therefore, consider the Bahá'í administration as being sacred in nature and as integral a part of the Bahá'í Faith as the Bahá'í teachings; indeed the Bahá'í administration is seen as the incarnation of the spirit of the Bahá'í Faith. The central institution of this appointed arm of the Bahá'í administration is the International Teaching Centre, which is based in Haifa. The Bahá'í World Centre also consists of several buildings, which were the residences of Bahá'u'lláh and `Abdu'l-Bahá during their lives, and extensive gardens around these buildings. bahai-library.org /books/introduction/intro5.html   (14 words)

Bahá'í History With regard to the administration of the Bahá'í Faith, however, although the Bahá'í institutions operate through processes that include consulting with the generality of the Bahá'ís, there is an expectation of loyalty and obedience to the decisions of the central figures and institutions (see "Human Rights.6"). In the Bahá'í Faith this has led to two distinct religious attitudes: the conviction that all peoples will find their highest religious aspirations fulfilled in the Bahá'í Faith; and the belief that the Bahá'í Faith is an inclusive religious movement with little need for barriers between members and non-members. Although the Bábí movement is separate from the Bahá'í Faith and should be treated so, Bahá'ís regard the Bábí movement as inextricably bound up with the origins of their own Faith and thus consider the start of the Bábí movement in 1844 as the start of their own religion. bahai-library.com /?file=encyclopedia_history.html   (14 words)

unknown (SMEALSearch) - Pal,Rangaswamy,Giles,Debnath This paper examines the three elements of Roman Catholic Priesthood Leadership, Teaching and Sacrament in an effort to explain to Bah's the theology of Priesthood and to demonstrate to Roman Catholics how many of the functions pertaining to the role of priests are being fulfilled in Bah' Administration. One might therefore ask how there could be any reason to deal with the issue of Roman Catholic Priesthood in the context of Bah' Administration. One of the teachings of the Bah' Faith is that in this dispensation there is no longer a need for a professional priesthood. smealsearch.psu.edu /147349.html   (245 words)

Bahá'í Faith Since Remey's death in 1974, some would claim a schism of the Bahá'í Faith has occurred and that the Faith is divided between the majority followers under the administration of the Universal House of Justice in Haifa and the Orthodox Bahai Faith or perhaps one of the Minor Baha'i divisions derived from Remey's claims. Thus according to the Bahá'í beliefs the Faith of God is protected from division by the Covenant. Bahá'ís all over the world, loyal to the Covenant first established by Bahá'u'lláh and then carried forward by `Abdu'l-Bahá, accepted this decision made by what they believe is the divinely guided central authority of their Faith. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/b/ba/baha_i_faith.html   (3349 words)

The Bahá On Tarawa waiting for his wife to give birth, and for a ship to take them to Tabiteuea, Kanare received a deportation order from the administration prohibiting him from remaining on either Tarawa or Abaiang. Kanare returned to his home island of Tabiteuea in the Southern Gilberts, and proceeded to spread the Bahá'í principles there, so that by 1960 there were 47 Bahá'ís on the island. The Morkiao school on Abaiang established by the ABCFM was full, so parents who saw education as a means of getting good status for their children sent their children to the Bahá'í School. bahai-library.com /asia-pacific/GEIC.htm   (5682 words)

Women of the House Since the Universal House of Justice is a world institution, service on it by women required that world-wide standards of women's literacy, education, experience with administration and politics, and other aspects of "spiritual masculinity" be met before they could be admitted to it. One of the best-known controversies in the Bahá'í Faith is rooted in the exclusion of women from the Guardianship (the individual office of the Guardian) and the Universal House of Justice (UHJ). According to the ordinances of the Faith of God, women are the equals of men in all rights save only that of membership on the [`umumi] House of Justice, for, as hath been stated in the text of the Book, both the head and the members of the House of Justice must be men. www.kaweah.com /Bahai/womenUHJ.html   (1786 words)

Iran, however, although it was among the first countries to fall to the advancing Arab armies, never completely lost its culture and language.

Institutions Indeed, the idea that there exists a divine pattern for the continuing administration of the Bahá'í Faith is as important to the definition of Bahá'í belief and practice as are the spiritual and social doctrines of Bahá'u'lláh. Typically, the reach of the local Spiritual Assembly is defined by the municipal boundaries established by the government. It is important to note that, like members of national and local Assemblies, individual members of the Universal House of Justice have no power or authority on their own--however respected and honored as individuals they may be. www.bahai-ottawa.org /new_files/institutions.html   (338 words)

THE INSTITUTION OF THE COUNSELLORS The administration and education of Auxiliary Board members are duties discharged by the Counsellors, and the training of assistants is a direct concern of the Auxiliary Board members. Counsellors are alert to opportunities in their areas, both inside and outside the Bahá'í community, for the believers to become involved in activities of social and economic development. Counsellors function as such only within the continental area of the Board to which they are appointed; should they move their residence out of that continent, they automatically relinquish their membership. bahai-library.com /published.uhj/counsellors.html   (338 words)

Baha'i History of Iran Iran has also been important as a source of large numbers of individuals who have migrated to other parts of the world and have played and continue to play an important part in the spread and administration of the religion. Each of the major cities and provinces of Iran was run by a governor who held a very high degree of authority and thus was to a large extent independent of the central authorities.

Black Roses: Four Decades of Black History in Canada Because of these attributes, she was asked to serve on many committees in the Bahá'í administration, such as the Regional Teaching Committee, the Icelandic Conference Committee (1971), the Ontario Youth Committee, the Community Counselling Committee, and others. One Black describing his memories of the absence of Blacks in visible jobs in the 1920s and 1930s states that, "I never once saw a black nurse, secretary, politician, teacher, policeman, fireman, civil servant, clerk in a department store, trade union or business leader" (Henry, 1981: 3). In Central Canada, which includes Montreal in Quebec, and Ontario, the Black population was largely derived from West- Indian immigrants or descendants of the "Underground Railroad," in addition to those who had arrived earlier with the French. www.bahai-library.org /unpubl.articles/black.roses.html   (7505 words)

New Page 1 During the (Qurashite) administration later on, the House was hit by a flood - or, it is said, by a fire - and was destroyed. Ibn az-Zubayr argued against the others with the following remark, which the Messenger of God had made to 'A'ishah: "If your people had not but recently been unbelievers, I would have restored the House on the foundations of Abraham and I would have made two doors for it, an eastern and a western one." It is said that he ('Abd-al-Malik) regretted his action when he learned that Ibn az-Zubayr's transmission of the tradition of 'A'ishah was a sound one. www.muslimphilosophy.com /ik/Muqaddimah/Chapter4/Ch_4_06.htm   (4682 words)

Over the Wall of Oppression - Baha'i Faith Document They took over and prevented the Baha'is from turning to Shoghi Effendi's successor, the first International Baha'i Council, and set up an administration of their own that is strange to the Baha'i faith, going against each and every one of Shoghi Effendi's writings for the establishment of the Universal House of Justice. Shoghi Effendi, not having a biological son to succeed him, set up a successorship in a council in embryonic form that everyone was to turn to upon his passing. Shoghi Effendi knew that he could not set up a Universal House of Justice during his lifetime, as it was to be elected by the believers of all nations. bupc.montana.com /overwall.html   (1224 words)
