- Girls should be given preference over boys when educational opportunities and resources are limited.
- In Bahá’í marriage, neither the husband nor the wife has a dominant voice.
- Any apparent inequality between the capacities of women and men is due solely to the lack of educational opportunities so far open to women.
We are a Baha'i family, born & raised in Egypt. We love to share our thoughts and views on a few topics based on Baha'i principles, such as family life, education, human rights and the environment.

The foundation-principle of a school
"These schools for academic studies must at the same time be training centers in behaviour and conduct, and they must favour character and conduct above the sciences and arts. Good behavior and high moral character must come first, for unless the character be trained, acquiring knowledge will only prove injurious. Knowledge is praiseworthy when it is coupled with ethical conduct and virtuous character; otherwise it is a deadly poison, a frightful danger. A physician of evil character, and who betrayeth his trust, can bring on death, and become the source of numerous infirmities and diseases.
Devote ye the utmost attention to this matter, for the basic, the foundation-principle of a school is first and foremost moral training, character and the rectification of conduct." Abd'l-Baha

Character of the Religious Person
For every thing, however, God has created a sign and symbol, and established standards and tests by which it may be known. The spiritually learned must be characterized by both inward and outward perfections; they must possess a good character, an enlightened nature, a pure intent, as well as intellectual power, brilliance and discernment, intuition, discretion and foresight, temperance, reverence, and a heartfelt fear of God. For an unlit candle, however great in diameter and tall, is no better than a barren palm tree or a pile of dead wood. (Abdu'l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 33)

"A layered veil of false premises thus obscures a fundamental truth:
The state of the world reflects a distortion of the human spirit, not its essential nature.
The purpose of every Manifestation of God is to effect a transformation in both the inner life and external conditions of humanity.
And this transformation naturally occurs as a growing body of people, united by the divine precepts, collectively seeks to develop spiritual capacities to contribute to a process of societal change. ...............UHJ

Where the Light Shines?

The Baha'i temple in Chile is one of eight projects from around the world that received an award or citation in the program this year.
"For architects, it's the award that recognizes designs that go in a new direction," said Siamak Hariri of Hariri Pontarini Architects of Toronto, the firm that designed the house of worship and is overseeing its construction. Representatives of the firm traveled to New York last month for the awards ceremony.

Great Lesson from Malaysia
The Baha'is
Bahá'u'lláh exhorts His followers to consort,
with amity and concord and without discrimination,
with the adherents of all religions;
warns them to guard against fanaticism, sedition, pride, dispute and contention;
inculcates upon them immaculate cleanliness,
strict truthfulness, spotless chastity, trustworthiness;
hospitality, fidelity, courtesy,
forbearance, justice and fairness;
counsels them to be "even as the fingers of one hand and the limbs of one body";
calls upon them to arise and serve His Cause; and assures them of His undoubted aid.
