Baha’is believe the Bab was the Twelfth Imam and a Manifestation of God as well and He stated with regards to Muhammad:
“When God sent forth His Prophet Muhammad, on that day the termination of the prophetic cycle was foreordained in the knowledge of God.”
Selections from the Writings of the...
I believe that if the people got their interpretations from the Prophets only then we would all be united.
It is the conflicting views of the leaders of religion and their interpretations which disunites us. The Jews should have not listened to their high priests but instead Christ, the...
Baha’is do not interpret scriptures especially the Quran. The Quran states that none knows its interpretation except God and also that its interpretation will one day be revealed. Baha’is believe Baha’u’llah brought that interpretation and so your answer lies we believe in His Words. The Book of...
The verse 33:40 promises the meeting on that day with God. A day when we shall meet God.
33:40 Mohammed is not the father of any man among you; but the apostle of GOD, and the seal of the prophets: and GOD knoweth all things. O true believers, remember GOD with a frequent remembrance, and...
This is what Baha’u’llah states in the Kitab-i-Qan:
“Even as thou dost witness how the people of the Qur’án, like unto the people of old, have allowed the words “Seal of the Prophets” to veil their eyes. And yet, they themselves testify to this verse: “None knoweth the interpretation thereof...
29:2
Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test?
3:7
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in...
The appearance of His Manifestation is mentioned explicitly in the Qurʼán, without any need for commentary or interpretation: “And thy Lord shall come and the angels rank on rank” (89:22) )Abdul-Baha)
50 And now have we brought them the Book: with knowledge have we explained it; a guidance...
There is always a minority of enlightened souls who look into the new Messenger with an open mind and accept Him. But the majority follow the interpretation of the clergy who say “we know” despite it clearly saying “ none knows it’s interpretation except God” (3:7)
Followers of religions often...
There’s all these prophecies but each time without fail, history is our witness, the very followers awaiting Him, reject and kill Him. The Jews awaited Christ but when He appeared killed Him. The Christians too rejected Muhammad despite He was promised in their Book and the Muslims executed the...
Many religions are waiting for a Divine Figure or Enlightened One to appear but if you look at their prophecies it is very symbolical but it all points to a supremely spiritual Person not a worldly wealthy or powerful person.
I understand that Christians don’t really believe Christ will return. To them it’s more about the pipe - dream, than Him actually returning. It’s just an avoidance mindset for being unable to fix the world’s problems by using the excuse’ Christ will return and fix everything’. But if Christ...
I was just pointing out the need for religions to work harder for world peace. I think they can have a very great influence on peace if they come together.
Reasoning is a tool that can be both used and misused. The outcome of reasoning is dependent on the goal and motive. A person may reason that doing the wrong thing is in his best interests so reasoning alone won’t fix the world.
If people behave like animals it’s because they choose to. What...
Very true. It’s time to be honest. I’m one of those people who just can’t understand why there are so many wars and so much inhumanity to people. To me it’s so simple. Just have a basic care for others, and don’t cause suffering or be cruel.
With regard to emotions it’s just my view that if the emotion of compassion were to dominate the warring leaders and they were to ‘feel’ for those who suffer I think wars would stop immediately. If anything we need lots of compassion for the innocent.
A lot of things. Too many to mention. But some major ones are a willingness to sit down and sort out our differences instead of resorting to killing each other. To outlaw wars. To establish a just order where oppressors are no longer free to ply their trade. That women have an equal say in the...
