. To be glad to have been born in an Arabic environment is a strange thing to say. As an example: I am not glad to have been born in a bilingual environment. It is just a fact of life. In this post, above, again there is a flattering of Arabic and labelling it as “ Holy ”. This is egocentrism. Being...

. Dear Zain; May i express my gratitude and thanks for those precisions on the arabic langage, because you explained them so well. However, I think that gloryfying and praising Arabic (your mother tongue isn’t ?) is not appropriate for a Baha’i. It is just a mere ballooning of your personal prideshi...

The quotation of Shogi Effendi by Brett make things quite clear on that topic. The Persian language is like arabic, very rich and precise, almost surgical. There are a few good electronic dictionaries online to help us to catch the many significations of a term. Most will work with copy and paste, a...

. Dear Keyvan Smart deduction here. I felt it, you would be movin' a-forward.

WINE Dear Keyvan, In the writings, the short word خمر Khamr used for intoxicants and " Khamr " is from the root word " Khamara" which means "to cover." Thus, anything that covers or hinders the mind is prohibited. This includes anything that alters the mind, such as marijuana, hero...

. Dear Kira these are external details. Since you came in, not so long ago, you may have realized nice things, internally. Did you make that link (in valley one) that you have to deprogram family values that were inscribed in you by ma and pa, and that you must nor please nor displease anyone on Ear...

. NO. But we have a book called the valleys. It describes human behavior and distinguishes identity from non identity, (azzur al-wujud min al-édam) and what is inscribed in the memory of man (lawh al insan), at every stage of his life, as he grows up. The term behavior or mood or habit, may be expre...

Dear friend,

You may enjoy on this site the document
Pilgrims note by Louis Gregory who was (I think)
the first black american to enter, and he met
and talked with Abdul Baha, who gave him
his instructions and views about the upcoming
harmony between the races.

Where is it written that we must be powerless vegetable with no brains ? Could you make precisions, before this honorable audience, of what is the “bug” for you person ?

. Dear F-H. Please excuse this attitude of "shunning" a sensible subject, in many case we know we are not specialist (like Dr Phil or others) to emit a valid solution to all social "abnormalities", if i dare take this light expression to resume what your lived trough. After a while i had some though...

These things are very touchy, personal and sensible. As in a few case, we suggest that you communicate privately with a specialist because most of us do not have the skills to understand as a professional therapist does. On top of this, i think most honorable members of this forum will shun themselv...

I think monsieur Farid has an open mind on this. While Abdul Baha said when ready a prophet will come, BUT, he will teach the same basic teachings of Baha'u'llah. A person named Meher Baba enforce the same 7 basic steps as in the 7 Valleys into his spiritual program, and much closer to us in time, p...

. Dear miss Van Den Broek you are absolutely right. If i remember correctly, the Bab said something special about the eloquence of the Arabic used in the noble Qur'an, in his Persian Bayan.

. Dear Lucy Dear Hassan Learning arabic or persian is not a necessity to merit a special entry into paradise. Some people beleive they must learn hebrew and go to Israel to study the Torah (Bible) to be correct. I think this is religious insanity, or an over exagerated personal opinion on what the S...

You may find interesting this document on the isolated letters of the Qur’an: written by Baha’u’llah, but not published, provisional translation by Dr Stephen Lambren : http://www.hurqalya.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/BAHA'-ALLAH/L-hurufat.htm Since the explanations published by Dr Khalifa in the 70’s and...

. What i think? hmm. That your vision is not different from many people. We may all see what you just described. I just posted on the Ruhi tread something that may connect. Baha'u'llah said (in Certitude) that victory or triumph or domination do not have the same meaning a we generally think it has....

. Comprehension precedes Acceptation In the tablet titled "The River", Baha'u'llah explains that comprehension is a first step, then acceptation of the truth will follow. He uses the classical example of the earth's rotation to explain the illusion of the sun turning around it. In the Valleys, he de...

Dear mister Walker: The <a href=http://bahai-library.com/?file=lee_ruhi_problem>article by mister Anthony Lee</a> describes pros and cons of the Ruhi books.

Salam mister jpd The motivation was to spike your curiosity. Oh, from the tonality of this long letter where a mention of the valleys is made, I just guessed about the recitation.

Why do you all focus so much on the past ? Is it not more vital to all how we put the actual Revelation in action, in our lifes and in our heads? The first steps of our spiritual voyage (progress) mention how to erase the past from our memories, and then reconstruct etc. If we keep comparing new and...

. I think that this “plural sense of respect” is a man made conception. Knowing that Elohim is a plural, we should translate by “the Elohims”. So “the Elohims”, the Creators, made us to their likeness. The name of the chief of the creators is also clealy written by YHVH = Yahwe. Verse one of the Tor...

Interesting point here. In some baha'i tablets, some people translate the expression zuhur ullah by Manifestation of God. Also, translations made by westerners in the early 1900's did borrow expressions from the then dominating Christianity, in the western part of the world Many of us know that the ...

Second question: concerning books The baha’i literature is easily obtained in a baha’i center near your home. If not, on this website you can find them, then print and read outloud (not shouted), possibly in the morning, in the privacy of your room. I suggest you recite (read outloud) about 15 minut...

The expression "entry by troops" recalls to mind the expression "entry in throngs" (afouaja) to describe an up coming event (Qur'an 78:18 and 110:2) some translate the expression by "in flocks", others translate afouaja by "regiments", to describe the idea of "groups" or troops. In French the expres...
