  1. Is it really necessary to have such a grand buildings and gardens to be closer to god ?

    Specially in a situation that bahaies in iran are in such unfortunate circumstances.

    One need to ask why 160 years of construction work, and, ONLY, construction work.

    Aztacs and mayan indians also made the grand buildings to behead people for centuries.

    What bahieat ever did for humanity?

    Building, buildings and more building?

    Always 9 millionaires in their UHJ?

    Please answer people of BAHA?

  4. In regard to the Buildings in Holy Land, Bahá’u’lláh describes the land to which He was banished thus: "This Holy Land hath been mentioned and extolled in all the sacred Scriptures. In it have appeared the Prophets of God and His chosen Ones. . . . This is the promised Land in which He Who is the Revelation of God was destined to be made manifest. . . . the Land of unfading splendor. Whatever hath come to pass in this Day hath been foretold in the Scriptures of old." Shoghi Effendi describes it as "the Land promised by God to Abraham, sanctified by the Revelation of Moses, honored by the lives and labors of the Hebrew patriarchs, judges, kings and prophets, revered as the cradle of Christianity, and as the place where Zoroaster . . . 'held converse with some of the Prophets of Israel,' and associated by Islám with the Apostle’s night-journey . . . to the throne of the Almighty.
    Shoghi Effendi stresses the significance of both the spiritual and administrative world centers of the Bahá’í Faith having been permanently fixed in the Acre–Haifa area in the Holy Land. The most important location is the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh, the qiblih of the Bahá’í world. Second in spiritual importance is the Shrine of the Báb, situated on Mount Carmel, the "Mountain of God." Shoghi Effendi describes the remains of the Báb as being at the center of "nine concentric circles," the outermost of which is the entire planet, the next being the Holy Land, then Mount Carmel, the Bahá’í properties on Mount Carmel, the gardens and terraces that enclose the Shrine of the Báb, the superstructure of the Shrine itself, the original Shrine built by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the vault under the central room of the Shrine, and the alabaster sarcophagus in which the remains of the Báb lie.The presence of the tombs of the sister, brother, and mother of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in the Monument Gardens adjacent to the Shrine of the Báb "incalculably reinforces the spiritual potencies of that consecrated Spot,"which is "designated by Bahá’u’lláh Himself" as "the seat of God’s throne."The world administrative institutions of the Bahá’í Faith are, thus, inextricably linked with sites of great spiritual significance.
    In May 2001 the Universal House of Justice, addressing the Bahá’ís gathered in Haifa for the opening of the Terraces of the Shrine of the Báb, linked the developments on Mount Carmel with a new stage in the Bahá’í Faith’s and humanity’s evolution:
    The majestic buildings that now stand . . . on the slope of the Mountain of God, together with the magnificent flight of garden terraces that embrace the Shrine of the Báb . . . offer timeless witness to the fact that the followers of Bahá’u’lláh have successfully laid the foundations of a worldwide community transcending all differences that divide the human race, and have brought into existence the principal institutions of a unique and unassailable Administrative Order that shapes this community’s life. In the transformation that has taken place on Mount Carmel, the Bahá’í Cause emerges as a visible and compelling reality on the global stage, as the focal center of forces that will, in God’s good time, bring about the reconstruction of society, and as a mystic source of spiritual renewal for all who turn to it.
    I'll add more about the Significance of "Mashriqu’l-Adhkár"
    Arabic: "Dawning Place of the Praise of God")or a Bahá’í House of Worship later.

    "What bahieat ever did for humanity?" Maybe the question should be what have YOU done? Do you bring yourself to account every day?

    "Always 9 millionaires in their UHJ?
    Yet another cheap accusation. Do you have access to their bank accounts? And why do you think the member of Universal House of Justice have be poor?
    If you are going make accusation and not back them up don't bother to write.
    Btw, I am still waiting for my answer on "Mortal Riches".

  5. Ohh, you eventually decided to publish!
    Happy that we were approved as you did not find our comment abusive!

    Regarding, first bit of you comment, it is quite long and irrelevant. however it does not surprising at all, as it is the style of un-educated Iranians, grown up back in old Iran society and mentality.

    That is say a-lot and irrelevant just to say something may be you confuse the debating opponent. [ A well know funny, case is letter
    of fath-ali-shah to Napelon, you may check] it is ghajar style literature and baha'i style. [ I leave it to would be reader to judge that, if there are any !!!]

    Argument you put on there, is known as "irrelevant thesis" case on whom are familiar with debating fallacies.

    2. your point 2 is another fallacy, as you answered and question, with another question, aiming to avoid the original question.

    Regarding me, of what I achieved, is that, I did not lie, I did not deceive, I did not promised, I did searched the truth, I get
    educated, I follow the root of issues, I am fair, I do not run,
    I do not portent, I do value justice, I honor humanity and place importance in honor and honesty etc etc ...

    3. There is no problem if uhj members, are millionairess,but you
    need to stop and see how they got there, and why you need to
    how they get elected. and what is their mindset and why they
    do what they do.

    Please check you "Mortal Riches", as I have news for you.

    Your problems all are solved, since you have all the answers, where you get those answers, need to be re-visited though.

  6. Maybe "irrelevant" to you. And thatks for your kind comments.
    Maybe you have forgotten you are nothing but guest here. So watch what you say.
    “3. There is no problem if uhj members, are millionairess, but you need to stop and see how they got there, and why you need to how they get elected. and what is their mindset and why they
    do what they do. “
    I really wonder if you even read my comments.
    As for the election of Universal House of justice, and It’s mandate, I am TOTALLY, 100% behind it.
    It seems you have a “problem” with The Universal House of justice.
    Hum …. I wonder why?
