When was the bahai faith started?
The Bahai Faith started in Iran when the Bab inaugurated a new era in the history of the human race. The Bahais belief that the 'Promised One' of all ages and peoples, Bahaullah revealed himself in 1863. He dispatched one of the distinguished Bahai teachers, Jamal Effendi to India to spread the teachings of the Bahai faith in the years 1874-75. The Bahais believe Bahaullah as the Universal Manifestation of God whose advent has been prophesied in all the Holy Scriptures. It is estimated that there are at present nearly 2.3 million Bahais in India.
What is the laws of Bahaullah's Dispensation?
The laws of Baha'u'llah's Dispensation encompass spiritual principles and guidance for personal conduct, such as prayer, fasting, and honesty. They also include teachings related to social issues like the elimination of prejudices, the pursuit of justice, and the importance of education for all. These laws are intended to cultivate individual and collective well-being and contribute to the advancement of society.
Is bahaullah worshipped?
He is not worshipped since according to the bahai teachings, God alone is the only entity that must be worshiped; however Baha'ullah is without a doubt extremely loved and respected by Bahais as well as being held in an exalted holy station which no earthly being can ever attain nor reject his cause once genuinely understood. If recalled in the bible, God himself spoke the words: Thou shalt not worship any other God but me! Baha'u'llah never referred to himself as God but rather as an intermediary between God and humanity. In other words; he acts as radio waves in which a radio or transmitter would receive information and forward it to a human weather the signal is galactic, intergalactic or in this case: unknown!
How literally do the Baha'i take scripture written by Bahaullah - do they believe that unbelievers will go to Hell like it says in the Epistle to the Son of the Wolf?
Baha'is believe that 'unbelievers' in the monotheistic GOD and His Messengers' Revelations do suffer hell but the Baha'i understanding is that hell is a metaphor for a lower state of awareness/being of the soul, whether in this life or the next. The following explanation is also is from Baha'u'llah's "Epistle to the Son of the Wolf" ...They say: 'Where is Paradise, and where is Hell?' Say: The one is reunion with Me; the other thine own self ... (p. 132)"The immortality of the spirit is mentioned in the Holy Books; it is the fundamental basis of the divine religions. Now punishments and rewards are said to be of two kinds. Firstly, the rewards and punishments of this life; secondly, those of the other world. But the paradise and hell of existence are found in all the worlds of God, whether in this world or in the spiritual heavenly worlds." (Baha'i World Faith, p. 323)"... there is no fiercer hell, no more fiery abyss, than to possess a character that is evil and unsound; no more darksome pit nor loathsome torment than to show forth qualities which deserve to be condemned." (Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 136)
Why do people worship baha'ism?
The Baha'i faith has many things that are attractive to people. One is the unity of religions. They preach that the main religions of the world like Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism etc. are all manifestations of the same god. Although they feel these are "lesser covenants" they still feel they are a way for people to draw close to the one true god which is the very center of purpose for the Baha'i. Equality is also a core teaching whether it be race, gender or social status. Although they come across as the "anything goes" kind of religion that is not true. To be part of the "greater covenant" is to currently follow the teachings of ­Bahaullah. His teachings are considered, in itself, a binding "lesser covenant" until another prophet appears that brings about a new manifestation of the one true god. This includes abstaining from sex outside of marriage, alcohol, drugs (unless prescribed by a doctor), partisan politics, gambling, gossip, and many other things that are considered vices. Being part of the "greater covenant", which is considered endless, is what you want if you are Baha'i because it will draw your soul closer to the one true god. The Baha'i­ have a somewhat close relation to the United Nations as they feel there is a need for a world government to promote peace and unity. The United Nations also seems to favor the acceptance and peaceful doctrines of the Baha'i, and they serve as consultants on many of the UN's organizations. This has fostered a lot of speculation to the nature and depth of this relationship.
Beliefs of Bahai?
The Bahai Faith is, first of all, the path of faith that was taught by Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). It has been expounded by his son Abdu'l-Baha (1844-1921) and by the Guardian he appointed, Shoghi Effendi (1897-1957). The Bahai community can be found in most countries (google yours), and is now administered by an elected council, the Universal House of Justice. The community has no clergy. Local communities are also administered by elected councils, the Spiritual Assemblies.Among the Bahai teachings are:- The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition;- the oneness of the entire human race, the pivotal principle and fundamental doctrine of the Faith;- the basic unity of all religions;- the condemnation of all forms of prejudice, whether religious, racial, class or national;- the harmony which must exist between religion and science;- the equality of men and women, the two wings on which the bird of human kind is able to soar;- the introduction of compulsory education;- the adoption of a universal auxiliary language;- the abolition of the extremes of wealth and poverty;- the institution of a world tribunal for the adjudication of disputes between nations;- the exaltation of work, performed in the spirit of service, to the rank of worship;- the glorification of justice as the ruling principle in human society,- and of religion as a bulwark for the protection of all peoples and nations;- and the establishment of a permanent and universal peace as the supreme goal of all mankind - these stand out as the essential elements of that Divine polity which He [Abdu'l-Baha] proclaimed to leaders of public thought as well as to the masses at large in the course of these missionary journeys [to Europe and North America, in 1911-1913]. The exposition of these vitalizing truths of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh, which He characterized as the "spirit of the age," He supplemented with grave and reiterated warnings of an impending conflagration which, if the statesmen of the world should fail to avert, would set ablaze the entire continent of Europe. He, moreover, predicted, in the course of these travels, the radical changes which would take place in that continent, foreshadowed the movement of the decentralization of political power which would inevitably be set in motion, alluded to the troubles that would overtake Turkey, anticipated the persecution of the Jews on the European continent, and categorically asserted that the "banner of the unity of mankind would be hoisted, that the tabernacle of universal peace would be raised and the world become another world.(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 281-2See the links below for further information.
What does the Islamic view of the Christian figure Jesus suggest about the Islamic faith?
Muslims honor Jesus, whom they call Isa, but only as a minor prophetic figure leading up the the glory of their Prophet, Muhammed. Christians revere the Hebrew prophets in much the same way. Jews, of course, have little regard for that latecomer Christ (who, in their minds in actually NOT the Christ, or Messiah) and Christians regard Muhammed as a false prophet, such as they were warned about. Muhammed made a point of declaring that as he was the best and most complete one, there would be no prophets after him and viciously persecute the Bahais, a former Shiite sect, who claim they have a more recent one in the Bahaullah. For their part, the Bahais allow that Muhammed was quite all right - as far as he went, but they have the improved version. A similar dynamic prevails between Christians and Mormons.You can see the pattern. The older religion, if the younger borrows anything from it at all, is accorded the prestige of Partial Truth, while sometimes (usually, it fact) suffering some tweaking for remaining in relative ignorance before the light of the new revelations.Nor is this something unique to religion. As one theory of psychology, or economics, or medicine, or politics ages, somebody comes up with a new one, claiming that he - or she - has "corrected the errors" of his/her predecessor. Of course the adherents of the "old" theory regard the upstart as simply headstrong and ill-informed.Answer BIn Islam religion, Jesus (peace be upon him) is believed as one of the greatest prophets and one of the greatest messengers of God to mankind.In the Quran, there is a complete chapter (or Surah) titled 'Maryam' (Mary) that confirms Maryam virgin birth. The Quran states the following on the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him):{(Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous." She said, "My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and it is."} (Quran, chapter 3, verses 45-47)Jesus was born as miracle by the word and command of God. This command is, as said in Quran, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said in Quran:{The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being.} (Quran, chapter 3, verse 59)During the prophetic mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said:{I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....}(Quran, chapter 3, verse 49)Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. They believe that the enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) plotted and planned to crucify Jesus. However, God miraculously saved Jesus and raised him up to Him (to God). God, the all Powerful and the all Capable, put the likeness of Jesus (peace upon him) over another man. The enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) thought that the this other man is Jesus and they took him and crucified him. God has said:{...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... } (Quran, chapter 4, verse 157)It is worthy to emphasize that both Jesus (peace upon him) and Mohamed, or may be spelled Muhammad, (peace upon him) came to mankind to call for worshiping only and the only one God. Neither of them nor Moses came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one and only God. this doctrine that was brought by earlier prophets from including Noah, Abraham, Isac, Jacob, David, Solomon, and others. both Jesus (peace upon him) and Mohamed received the revelation from God to confirm and renew the doctrine of worshiping one (and only one) God and same God worshiped by, and called for worship by, all God prophets since Adam and up to Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
Can you believe in all religions?
You have that full right to believe in all religions. No one can take that away from you.To be noted: All religions respect eachother. In almost all religions there are extremist. And people tend to look at the extremist, instead of the majority individual. Those extremist gives a bad representation of religion.Essentially, all religions have the same goals, and points of view. While there are differences, when examining the overall picture, religion is trying to strive for unity and peace, though at times people might not think that.First off I would like to state that: I respect and love all religions. I am fascinated by religion and have taken many classes about them all.Furthermore, I would like to answer your question a little more. But before that i wish to give further explanation, i want to tell you that, i am not preaching, in no ways trying to convert you or anyone, but giving an opinion and my belief. Hoping people can respect that, my belief answers your question a little more.I am a Bahai: Bahais believe in all the prophets, like Jesus Christ, Moses, Muhammad, Buddha, Bahaullah. Therefore, Bahais do believe in all religions.So there are others who have your thoughts as well.I could give further explanation, but i feel it will be too much.If you want to know more just google the religion Bahai.I hoped this helpedI am a different author (Fortula Fecund) adding to this, I do not know the above author, this is my own personal belief system and original words:One has to study all the different God based religions because, God and Heaven are so hard to comprehend. In order to get even a small glimpse as to what Heaven is like, equal to perhaps just that of a grain of salt in the ocean, one has to study all religions.When we cross over, we all become one same religion, Heaven is the great melting pot.Heaven and God are so unexplainable, even to study all the worlds greatest God based religions, meant for the good of human kind, would not even chip off the tip of the iceberg in the attempt to try to explain God, God is Heaven.God did communicate with us through the written word in the form of books yet, to actually really communicate with God, (perhaps never understand God) keep in mind God is a supernatural being so, to try and understand God, one must also live and walk in the supernatural world and not just the world of books. The books and religions are the gateway.People always want to try and be able to control nature, dams, bridges, floods, etc.... Why would anyone want to control God by boxing God into one religion, it would be impossible. God is all religions and then a bunch more that has never been written about.
