|
The twentieth century witnessed the emergence of many forms of governments, some of which subsequently collapsed or changed. The origin of democratic governments in the modern times goes back to about 300 years ago. By the end of the twentieth century the western democracy was proclaimed as the best form of government in the history of the world. W... |

While the growth of the Baha'i Community under the guidance of the Universal House of Justice in the 50 years since 1963 expands over a wide range, it could be perceived in terms of two parallel sets of activities. On the one hand we have witnessed the expansion and consolidation of the Baha'i community to such an extent that it practically covers ... |

According to the beloved Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, this magnificent Tablet was revealed one year before Baha'u'llah's ascension. Among the Writings of Baha'u'llah this Tablet occupies a significant position; for , that reason Shoghi Effendi decided to translate this Tablet into English in its entirety. One of the reasons for its importance lies in ... |

Muin Afnani |
|
English |

|
The theme of Love is one of the fundamental concepts in Sufism. From the fifth/eleventh century onward, when the focus of Sufism turns gradually from asceticism to speculative mysticism, the concept of love assumes a central role in the Sufi texts. For example, Ahmad Ghazzali (d. 528/1126) devotes his Savanih, a treatise in Persian, to the theme of... |

The book of Madaniyyah, "The Secret of Divine Civilization",

The writings of Shoghi Effendi, written over a period of 36 years (1921-1957), constitute a unique collection of religious writings. These writings can be studied from several perspectives including their forms and content.
From the perspective of the language we can say that about three fourth of the writings of Shoghi Effendi are in English, a... |

In a letter dated 4 January 2009 to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia, the Universal House of Justice intimates that in forthcoming plans, the arena of social discourses will become a third area of action (next to expansion and consolidation) in which Baha'is will engage.

Ibn Arabi (1165-1240) is considered the greatest Islamic mystic and philosopher. Due to the range of his influence, both within the Islamic community and outside its circle, he has been called the greatest Muslim after Prophet Muhammad.

Poem of Rashh-i-'Ama
This poem is perhaps the first extant Tablet of Baha'u'llah revealed in the Siyah-Ch`I of Tehran shortly after the experience of divine Revelation. We know from what Nabil has recorded that there had been many other writings from Baha'u'llah prior to this poem, but so far they have not been found. Also, based on some of the wr... |

One of the most interesting set of books that Mr. Abdul-Hamid Ishraq-khavari has authored in Persian is the three volumes of Mohazirat (literally meaning Lectures, but more appropriately perhaps could be called Dialogues). Two of the three volumes were published during his life time, and the third volume has been published recently. The books are p... |

This relatively long Tablet which is entirely in Arabic appears to have been revealed in Akka because in one passage Baha'u'llah refers to His calamities and exile in a land where no one was allowed to enter, which is reference to pilgrims not being allowed to enter Akka to see Baha'u'llah. This is one of the most beautiful Tablets of Baha'u'llah i... |

The recipient of this Tablet is Hadi Qazvini who was one of the Letters of the Living. Sadly this person broke the Covenant during the time of Baha'u'llah and joined Yahya Azal.
