Bahá'í History 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. 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"). 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

Book review: A Short History of the Bahá'í Faith Allowing that "all religions, including the Bahá'í Faith, will, to some extent, contain echoes of each other," Momen states his intent: "I hope to show that the Bahá'í Faith also has its own teachings that are new and innovative" (3). As an "engaged" scholar, Smith demonstrates that Bahá'ís are unafraid of their history but are still coming to terms with it, because the Báb of faith, and the Bahá'í popular view of the Bábí religion, have yet to be integrated and reconciled with historical and sociological considerations. Momen himself rightly classes Smith's A Short History of the Bahá'í Faith as "the best brief general history of the Bahá'í Faith" (147, giving 1995 as the publication date); Momen's A Short Introduction to the Bahá'í Faith has a similar status. bahai-library.org /reviews/smith.history.html

Frank Schlatter - My Experience in Becoming an Orthodox Baha'i I do miss the fellowship of other Bahái's but choose to be faithful to God and the writings of Bahá'u'lláh and ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. The Orthodox Bahái's I found to be normal people, and when I investigated the possibility of their documents being false found that the writings they study are the very same ones the heterodox Bahái's study. When he expressed his concern that the Hands had made a mistake by declaring the Guardianship at an end, I was determined to convince him of his mistake and dove deep into studying the writings, specifically the book The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh by Taherzadeh. www.rt66.com /~obfusa/ya-franco.html

Scholarship on the Baha'i Faith Abstract: This article is a survey of attempts to analyse and study the Babi and Bahá'í Faith from a scholarly viewpoint. Of major importance among the activities of the Bahá'í scholars of this period was the work of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl Gulpaygani (q.v.) in relating the prophecies in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles to the Bahá'í Faith. Written for possible inclusion in A Short Encyclopedia of the Baha'i Faith, an ongoing project of the United States National Spiritual Assembly. bahai-library.org /?file=momen_encyclopedia_scholarship_survey.html

Universal Teachers - The Baha'i Faith Among the achievements of the ministry of 'Abdu'l-Bahá were the spread of the Bahá'í Faith to the West and Australia; the building of the first Mashriqu'l-Adhkár in 'Ishqábád and the beginning of the Mother Temple of the West in Wilmette, Illinois, USA; and the establishment of the first instituions of the Bahá'í Administrative Order. The Bahá'í Faith is linked with the Babí Faith, founded in 1844 by Mirza Ali-Muhammad (1819-1850), known as the Báb or "Gate". The Bahá'í Faith was founded in Persia (Iran) by Mirza Husayn-Ali (1817-1892), known as Bahá'u'lláh, the "Glory of God". www.lawrence-bahai.org /faith1.html

Encyclopedia: Bahá'í Faith Bahá'ís ultimately expect a process, similar to democratic globalization, to continue until "the world is one country," and see their faith as providing the necessary spiritual basis for this new civilization of peace and harmony. Bahá'ís regard the period from the Bab's declaration in Shiraz, to the passing of `Abdu'l-Bahá (1844-1921), as the Heroic, or the Apostolic Age of the Faith. Baháulláh (1817–1892) (Persian: Mírzá Husayn-Alí (میرزا حسینعلی)) was the founder and prophet of the Baháí Faith. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Bah%c3%a1%27%c3%ad-Faith   (8605 words)

The Missionary as Historian Essentially, the Bahá'í Faith which he pictures for his readers is a product of a century-long conspiracy conceived by persons of the basest character and motive. Yet the next chapter of Rev. Miller's book finds space for nearly a dozen pages of quotations from the writings of Charles Mason Remey, formerly a figure of prominence in the Bahá'í Faith, who was expelled when he attempted to set himself up as "the hereditary Guardian" of the Faith in 1960. Islam is a fuller revelation than Christianity, and those revelations since Muhammad, the Bábí and Bahá'í Faiths, incorporate and develop the elements which appeared for the first time in Islam, as well as unfolding yet other aspects of the divine purpose. www.bahai.org /article-1-3-3-5.html   (361 words)

Babis See also: Bahá'í Faith, and Orthodox Bahai Faith --------- The following is derived from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1868 Bahá and his followers were exiled to Acre in Syria (now Acca, Israel), and Subh-i-Ezel with his few adherents to Famagusta in Cyprus, where he was still living in 1908. After that date the Bábiis divided into two sects, Ezelis 'and Bahá'ís, of which the former steadily lost and the latter gained ground, so that in 1908 there were probably from half a million to a million of the latter, and at most only a hundred or two of the former. www.wikiverse.org /babis   (1210 words)

Tahirih - A Famous Baha'i Woman Planet Bahá'í is an initiative by individual Bahá'ís and not an official Web site of the Bahá'í Faith. The calm voice of Bahá'u'lláh cut through the bedlam, asking that someone read the Súrih of the Inevitable (Qur'án 56), which speaks of the coming of the Day of Judgment and how some will be abased and others exalted. The conference disintegrated, but those who remained faithful now understood the full implications of the Báb's revelation. www.planetbahai.com /articles/2001/ar031001c.html   (1210 words)

Early Western Accounts of Bahá'á' Faith Bahá'í (and Bábí) Faith, Early Western Accounts of The Bábí movement created a great deal of turmoil in Iran, thus it soon aroused some interest in the West also. News that the Bábí movement had, for the most part, transformed itself into the Bahá'í Faith was slow to reach the West. There were a number of early reports of Bahá'u'lláh's pre-eminence, most notably that of Dr Thomas Chaplin, published in The Times on 5 October 1871, and of Laurence Oliphant, published in the New York Sun on 10 December 1883. www.northill.demon.co.uk /relstud/bfwestac.htm   (1210 words)

Encyclopedia Article: The Covenant The Bahá'í Faith recognizes two covenants: first, the greater covenant, between God, represented by the Manifestation of God (q.v.), on the one hand, and humanity on the other, in which God promises to continue to send guidance to humankind, while humanity, on its part, promises to obey and follow these teachings when they come. At present the institutions of the Bahá'í Faith are primarily responsible for dealing with any episodes of Covenant-breaking that arise, in particular the Hands of the Cause, the Continental Board of Counselors (q.v.), and their Auxiliary Boards. One of the most striking of the claims made by the Bahá'í Faith is that the religion is divinely protected from schism (PUP 455-6, WOB 145). bahai-library.com /encyclopedia/covenant.html   (6773 words)

unknown (SMEALSearch) - Pal,Rangaswamy,Giles,Debnath One of the teachings of the Bah' Faith is that in this dispensation there is no longer a need for a professional priesthood. 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. smealsearch.psu.edu /147349.html   (245 words)

THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER Neither in theory nor in practice can the Administrative Order of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh be said to conform to any type of democratic government, to any system of autocracy, to any purely aristocratic order, or to any of the various theocracies, whether Jewish, Christian or Islamic which mankind has witnessed in the past. Armed with that peerless and potent Instrument, 'Abdu'l-Bahá, His eldest Son and Center of His Covenant, had erected the standard of His Father's Faith in the North American continent, and established an impregnable basis for its institutions in Western Europe, in the Far East and in Australia. To this World Order the Báb Himself had, whilst a prisoner in the mountain fastnesses of Adhirbáyján, explicitly referred in His Persian Bayán, the Mother-Book of the Bábí Dispensation, had announced its advent, and associated it with the name of Bahá'u'lláh, Whose Mission He Himself had heralded. www.iinet.net.au /~guardian/Admin_Order.html   (245 words)

Introduction to the Bahá'í Faith In just over 100 years, the Bahá'í Faith [founded by Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892)] has grown from an obscure movement in the Middle East to the second-most widespread of the independent world religions. The Bahá'í Faith provides a structure through which universal peace can be obtained and established in this age. He taught that there is only one God, that all the world's religions represent one changeless and eternal Faith of God, and that all humanity is one race, destined to live in peace and harmony. www.pixi.com /%7Ekoolausa/intro_to_faith.html   (232 words)

Articles About Islam As of January 1926, their final ruling on the matter of the origins of the Bah¡'­ Faith and its relationship to Islam was that the Bah¡'­ Faith was neither a sect of Islam, nor a religion based on Islam, but a clearly defined, independently founded faith. The claim of the adherents of the Bah¡'­ Faith that it represents an independent religion was upheld by the Muslim ecclesiastical courts in Egypt during the 1920s. Ibadhism is distinguished from Shiism by its belief that the Imam (Leader) should be chosen solely on the basis of his faith, not on the basis of descent, and from Sunnism in its rejection of Uthman and Ali and strong emphasis on the need to depose unjust rulers. www.lecommerce.net /wiki/index.php?title=Islam   (5367 words)
