Baha’i Administrative Order is unique in religious history

Baha’i Administrative Order is unique in religious history

“… this Administrative Order is fundamentally different from anything that any Prophet has previously established, inasmuch as Bahá'u'lláh has Himself revealed its principles, established its institutions, appointed the person to interpret His Word and conferred the necessary authority on the body designed to supplement and apply His legislative ordinances. Therein lies the secret of its strength, its fundamental distinction, and the guarantee against disintegration and schism. Nowhere in the sacred scriptures of any of the world's religious systems, nor even in the writings of the Inaugurator of the Bábí Dispensation, do we find any provisions establishing a covenant or providing for an administrative order that can compare in scope and authority with those that lie at the very basis of the Bahá'í Dispensation.” (Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Baha'u'llah, p. 144)

Eyes of GOD

by muscle-defender on Thu Nov 11, 2010 06:39 AM PST

We are witnesses of the Triumphant rise of the Universal House of Justice: "O Eyes of this Temple! Look not upon the heavens and that which they contain, nor upon the earth and them that dwell thereon, for We have created you to behold Our own Beauty: See it now before you! Withhold not your gaze therefrom, and deprive not yourselves of the Beauty of your Lord, the All-Glorious, the Best-Beloved. Erelong shall We bring into being through you keen and penetrating eyes that will contemplate the manifold signs of their Creator and turn away from all that is perceived by the people of the world. Through you shall We bestow the power of vision upon whomsoever We desire, and lay hold upon those who have deprived themselves of this gracious bounty. These, verily, have drunk from the cup of delusion, though they perceive it not." ---- Baha'u'llah

You believe in Ibn'u'l Baha

See what he says about 'self' :

When asked for a definition of a pure heart, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said, “The pure heart is one that is entirely cut away from self. To be selfless is to be pure.”

So be selfless. Try to purify your heart. You are behaving like a racist. I am sorry.

What do Attack Sites By You Reveal about you "Aryana"/AZAL

by faryarm on Thu Sep 09, 2010 08:53 PM PDT

What do insults and name calling. like "Basij", in personal attack sites , Bahai Basiji Faryar Mansouri  with delusiionary statements reveal about  you? Nima Hazini, Wahid Azal, Zulfiqar110, NUR, etc etc, and now Aryana? and the many more names in store,as you wear out each one in disgrace.

Does it not confirm what so many here have surmised about your character  and counselled you against?

The personal attack site you have created and once  last year  offered to take down in exchange for deleting the letter a friend of yours published describing you and your subsequent declaration as some kind of "messiah"... have had no effect what so ever, because sane and rational people  readily recognise both the attempt at character assassination, as well as the disturbed character behind them.

So far lucky for you Nima Hazini/Wahid Azal/Aryana etc etc.. the author (DEATHTOBHAISM) of this persoanl attck site, i have not been bothered to spend valuable time do anything to make you remove it, as  I assure you it would be a cause of great hardship; let us not say for whom...

As you are well aware, you have no legal defense against such baseless personal attacks, whether in the USA or hiding down under in Australia, as legal precedents have been set against malicious blogs like yours, by people with the means to go the distance.

But not everyone would be as forgiving, as one of these days you might face some one who would go the distance and seek justice;then you would have to face the reality of your malicious actions and  defend your self against the very public record of personal attacks, under countless fictitious identities, that are still adding up. Of course one does not expect any reasonable response this, but more of the same bitterness, lies, hate, from Nima Hazini/Wahid Azal/Aryana etc.

Who could possibly compare such unique institution with USSR?

by faryarm on Thu Sep 09, 2010 10:50 AM PDT


Nima/Wahid/Nur/Aryana/ (and on and on):  Before he was about to get kicked out,  he resigned his membership from the Baha’i community.  In his resignation letter, he proclaimed his love and belief in Baha’u’llah and Abdul-Baha et al.  He had issues with the Administration, as it is not compatible with over-inflated egos.  (//wahidazal.blogspot.com/2007/03/in-name-of-g...)

In return, this is how a National Spiritual Assembly advised the Baha’is to treat him:  “Unfortunately, Mr Hazini has for some time been engaged in attacking the integrity of the Cause. The friends are therefore advised to leave him to himself.”  

No fines or penalties, no hanging, no flogging, no torture, no imprisonment, no force, nothing!  Just leave him to himself!  In addition, we are taught to pray for the souls of the Covenant Breakers.  That is the full extent of “persecution” by Baha’is.  Can someone say ‘naneh man gharibam!?’  And he has the audacity of putting himself on par with the hanged innocent Baha’i women!

Baha’is do not run a Roach Motel where once checked-in, no one can check-out alive!  Every single Baha’i in the world is one by own choice and can leave by own choice.  Religions with self confidence have a similar policy.
