Moreover, in the traditions the terms "sun" and "moon" have been applied to prayer and fasting, even as it is said: "Fasting is illumination, prayer is light." One day, a well-known divine came to visit Us. While We were conversing with him, he referred to the above-quoted tradition. He said: "Inasmuch as fasting causeth the heat of the body to increase, it hath therefore been likened unto the light of the sun; and as the prayer of the night-season refresheth man, it hath been compared unto the radiance of the moon." Thereupon We realized that that poor man had not been favoured with a single drop of the ocean of true understanding, and had strayed far from the burning Bush of divine wisdom. We then politely observed to him saying: "The interpretation your honour hath given to this tradition is the one current amongst the people. Could it not be interpreted differently?" He asked Us: "What could it be?" We made reply: "Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, and the most distinguished of God's chosen Ones, hath likened the Dispensation of the Qur'an unto heaven, by reason of its loftiness, its paramount influence, its majesty, and the fact that it comprehendeth all religions. And as the sun and moon constitute the brightest and most prominent luminaries in the heavens, similarly in the heaven of the religion of God two shining orbs have been ordained -- fasting and prayer. 'Islam is heaven; fasting is its sun, prayer, its moon.'"Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan,
Thanks Mehran! There are a few lessons in there... I sure appreciate how Baha'u'llah was able to politely, and with great respect, teach this well-known divine. I will practice that approach... And I love how Baha'u'llah explains the importance and influence of prayer and fasting.
ReplyDeleteConnie did not asked, should "Muhammad", be, the Seal of the Prophets, and the most distinguished of God's chosen Ones.
DeleteThen what Baha'ies doing here at a first place? [please read Quran Ahzab 44]. Further I need to mention that "Muhammad" with aid of the jews and power of the sword managed to conquer and loot 1400 years ago [ more or less an fascistic war machine that used the crazy Jewish god as excuse to kill and loot, jews killed jews for money, and invented a new religion with nothing changed ]. Please remember, Islam is enforcing the Jewish law anyway!. What these Baha'ies want to re-visit in 20th century? Baha'ies can not use force, hence for time being they are polite and tell you what you like to hear, but are very canning and brutal behind the seen. Should anyone "even" post a comment in this blog, where is not all praise and bravos, Mehran Azizi, will not publish it, or, will publish it in part and distorted, and even then, he either has nothing rational to say, or he tries his best to wish wash it out, be funny and mean just to shit the argument. That shows his mindset and understanding, of concept of free speech. He has nothing to say and is quite confused and lost himself.Just imagine the guys like him with their infallible 9 bosses, have slightest power, then we will have what they did in iran before. On other hand as a pure religion, Bahai do not even have any laws, morality values or system in place [ even broken, basic Aqdas laws is hush push of things that nobody mentions or follow ]. You notice, they promote pray and meditation in the west, very much like the Sufi orders of the ancient past, there is nothing new here, just praises and revenue raising. It is really hard to understand, were these guys stand for, as, there is new definition and justifications everyday. I suggest, to understand the root and propose of this cult and how they did treat and do treat their own at present. Their past is the mirror of their future. Basically a dangerous cult, to only serve the people on the top [helped and used by imperialistic powers]. They are trying to make much noise. At the moment their focus is to play innocent so when Iranian regime is toppled, they jump and start eating and looting as before. They are throwing their brain washed members in lion den, to provide for their propaganda machine in rest of the world, they call it "irrigating tree of life" [i.e go die for cult top member's, who travel lavishly around the world and enjoy]. It is really a very sick story. much can be said about it, but space and time does not allow here. Connie, please not be so simple, there is much more into it with these guys!
Anonymous, you mentioned "Should anyone "even" post a comment in this blog, where is not all praise and bravos, Mehran Azizi, will not publish it, or, will publish it in part and distorted,..."
DeleteI have proven you are not nothing but a lie.

http://mehranazizi.blogspot.ca/2012/12/how-to-catch-real-lie.html
I have published your lies, baseless accusations, dishonest comments,.... And still you lie.
see a doctor and take Ali with you.
Here we go, You see Connie, What I meant, he very well know that he can get exposed as lair/charlatan. So what he does, he "supposedly" "catch" people and call everything lies and base-less. This is only weapon he has in his arsenal. If they silence people with poisoning, murder and their knife work is quite smooth!. He want to say that whole word is lies except his cult. You see if he is really true on what he says about his prosecution and things, why, his cult, does not get the matter to intentional court ? after all he has all the evidence right!. You know why?, because they very well know, if they do that, they get exposed!. So what they do ? they make noise and keep saying what they always say that nobody listen. We are only put up questions, and, put up the facts, the only thing he need to do is to first play it ignorant and then call it a "lie", as if people woke up in the morning and "make up lies". these guys have a habit to delete the questions, ignore the facts and attack any rational person who try to explain or help the victims. what lies he is talking about ? anybody knows ? My advise is, be-careful, be-careful and please be-careful, just be-careful, what is the harm with that ?
DeleteIt's in black and white. You accused me of "distorting your comments" and I showed you are nothing but "lair/charlatan".
DeleteAs for your "put up the facts", .... Ya really. what facts?
My advice to you ,
MAKE YOUR OWN BLOG, WHERE NO ONE CAN "DISTORT YOUR POSTS AND PUT UP YOUR FACTS.
what is the harm with that ?
Revisiting your comment made me laugh.
DeleteYou mentioned " get the matter to intentional court", .. wait, we will be there. I suppose for you and your like who have been under a rock hiding or have closed your eye and ears, would not know about the resolutions which have been passed in different countries condemning the government of Iran for its state-sponsored persecution of its Bahá’ís. Just one example http://iran.bahai.us/2013/01/02/u-s-house-of-representatives-passes-resolution-134-condemning-the-persecution-of-baha%E2%80%99is-in-iran/.
There are many many more.
Also you keep using "WE", I asked you many times, what do you mean? and never got an answer.
You must either belong to a very secretive group or a gutless one who is so scared to come out.
I say you belong to the 2nd group.
Yes, Take them to court, I am wondering why they did not do it in last almost 32 years!, because your bosses very well know one there is not much to defend, two it costs them money, that they very dearly keep close to their chase and value, three they very well know they get exposed, four, why should they, as simple people already get prosecuted for them and they get the propaganda out of it. Your bosses do not care about those stupids, yours cult bosses sit with their masters drink whiskey and lough at them. they think much like you, let milk it as much as we can who cares what happens to others as long as it serves you, on other world give them "irrigating the tree of life" and entry by troop rubbish, if it works we go back there and restart feeding if not we stay in the west and are happy right ?
DeleteAnd this comes from a person who lies through his teeth.
ReplyDelete"...yours cult bosses sit with their masters drink whiskey..."
Love to see a photo of that.
BTW. what happened to your weblog?
