Dear friends, In Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, there're these words: "What could have been the evidence produced by the Pharisees and the idolatrous priests to justify their denial of Muḥammad, the Apostle of God when He came unto them with a Book that judged between truth and falsehood with ...

Dear friends,

As names of God/Manifestation, what's the difference between "the Bountiful" and "the Bounteous", and "the All-Bountiful" and "the All-Bounteous"? Are they translated from different Farsi/Arabic words?

Thanks.

Dear friends,

In the Aqdas, there're these words to Francis Joseph, "We have been with thee at all times, and found thee clinging unto the Branch and heedless of the Root." What do "Branch" and "Root" refer to?

Thanks.

Thank you, MontanaDon, until today, have I read the link in your relpy.

Why did the Master gave November 26, 181 days after the ascension of Bahá'u'lláh, as the Day of the Covenant? Why it was November 26?

Thanks.

Thank you Brettz and Don.

Thank you MontanaDon. As I know, Muslim commentators interprete "Sinai" as Moses, "Seir" as Jesus, and "Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them" as Muhammod. And some Baha'is see "he came with ten thousands of ...

Deuteronomy 33:2 "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them." Here it is interpreted that "rose up from Seir" refers to Jesus. H...

Dear Brett, thanks for your prompt reply!

Dear friends,

Should the Tablet of Visitation which is read on his anniversary of the Bab and Bahaullah, be read facing the Qiblih?

Thank you so much, Brettz.

Dear ones, is it appropriate to say the prayer for the hands of Cause of God for the Counselors today?

Thanks.

Thank you Brettz. That calculation is really complicated...

In Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era , the Master explain the meaning of 1335 years/days, mentioned by Daniel, in the passage below: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s Tablets make it clear that this prophecy refers to the one hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Bahá’u’lláh in Baghdád, or the year 1963:— Now concerni...

Dear friend, In Bahai Writings, what's the difference between "the Chosen Ones (of God)" and "the chosen ones (of God)"[not capitalized]? Some say the former refers to the Manifestations and Holy Ones like Ali and 'Abdu'l-Baha, while the later refers to the ordinary true believer...

Dear friends, In Kitabi-Aqdas, Note 57, it is said, "He (Baha'u'llah) also condemns such practices as prostrating oneself before another person and other forms of behaviour that abase one individual in relation to another." Do the "other forms of behaviour that abase one individual in...

Dear friends, Some of the Writings of Baha'u'llah are named as "Lawh-i-....", while some are named as "Suriy-i-...", are they of two types of revelation? What's the difference between them? Why "Lawh"-i-Ayyúb is also called "Súriy"-i-Sabr? and Súriy-i-Ra'ís I ...

Great! Thanks a lot for all your ideas, I think I'm satisfied now.
With loving regards.

from a friend: In one of the forums for the course on The Writings of the Báb, a student asked this question: “If Nineteen Day Feasts are named after attributes of God how can “Questions” be an attribute?” Faculty member Dr. Moojan Momen answered with a lesson about historical Iran and Shí’í Islam: ...

It's said:" The names of the months in the Bahá'í ( Badí) calendar were given by the Báb, who drew them from the nineteen names of God invoked in a prayer said during the month of fasting in Shí'ih Islam." If this be true, how to understand the meaning of the name of "Questions"?...

In paragraph 95, the second sentence: "Were I to disclose unto thee the reality of this station, thou wouldst lament and bewail the plight of this Servant Who remaineth in the hands of these infidels, Who hath grown perplexed at his plight, and is lost in bewilderment in this fathomless ocean.&...

Thank you Brettz9 and Iranpour for the further informations in details, which completely satisfied me.

Thanks A LOT, to all of you above!!

Could you please help to find the original statements of 'Abdu'l-Baha?

Thanks

Dear friends, In the Kitab-i-Iqan published in 2003 by the NSA of US, there's a note for the 12th Imam in the glossary on p.251: Muhammad, son of the eleventh Imam; died at age five in the year A.H.260/A.D.362. I heard another saying that the 12th Imam, who was the son of the 11th Imam, did not real...

Dear brettz9,

Many thanks！

Best Regards.

Dear Friends, in p.78 of A Traveler’s Narrative, the word 'Zawra' is explained in the note as 'Baghdád', while in para.274-5 of Kitab-i-Iqan, Baha'u'llah and Sadiq stated that Zawra is the land of Rayy, that is Tiheran. How to understand this difference? Thanks.

Dear friends,

In Kitabi-i-Iqan, the footnote for the "Prayer of Nudbih" in para.33 is: “Lamentation” attributed to the Twelfth Imám. While in the glossary of that book, it is given: A “Lamentation” of the Imám ‘Alí. How to understand the difference there between?

Thanks.

Thank you, brettz9.
