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.

"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.

Bahai Fast Mar 2nd to mar 20th

Fasting and obligatory prayer are as two wings to man's life.
Blessed be the one who soareth with their aid
in the heaven of the love of God,
the Lord of all worlds.
Bahá’u’lláh
==========================================
These are the days of the Fast. Blessed is the one who through the heat generated by the Fast increaseth his love, and who, with joy and radiance, ariseth to perform worthy deeds. Bahá’u’lláh
====================================
Verily, I say, fasting is the supreme remedy and the most great healing for the disease of self and passion. Bahá’u’lláh
=============================
Fasting is the cause of the elevation of one's spiritual station. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Beyond Belief - Who We Are?
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. Its founder, Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society. God, Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification.
والبهائيون على اختلاف أصولهم يُصدِّقونَ بما بين أيديهم من الكتب السماوية، يؤمنون بالرسالات السابقة دونما تفريق، ويعتقدون بأن رسالة حضرة بهاء الله - أسوة بغيرها من الرسالات السماوية - لا تمثّـل سوى مرحلة من المراحل المتعاقبة للتطور الروحي الذي يخضع له المجتمع الإنساني.
إِنَّ الدين البهائي دين عالمي مستقل كل الاستقلال عن أي دين آخر. وهو ليس طريقة من الطرق الصوفية، ولا مزيجاً مقتبساً من مبادئ الأديان المختلفة أو شرائعها، كما إنَّه ليس شُعبة من شعب الدين الاسلامي أو المسيحي أو اليهودي. وليس هو إحياء لأي مذهب عقائدي قديم. بل للدين البهائي كتبه المُنزلة، وشرائعه الخاصة، ونظمه الإدارية، وأماكنه المقدسة. أما رسالته الحضارية الموجهة إلى هذا العصر فتتلخص في المبادئ الروحية والاجتماعية التي نصّ عليها لتحقيق نظام عالمي جديد يسوده السلام العام وتنصهر فيه أمم العالم وشعوبه في اتحاد يضمن لجميع أفراد الجنس البشري العدل والرفاهية والاستقرار ويُشيّد حضارة إنسانية دائمة التقدم في ظل هداية إِلهية مستمرة.

Jesus and Christmas
"Thus Jesus, Son of Mary, whilst seated one day and speaking in the strain of the Holy Spirit, uttered words such as these: “O people! My food is the grass of the field, wherewith I satisfy my hunger. My bed is the dust, my lamp in the night the light of the moon, and my steed my own feet. Behold, who on earth is richer than I?” By the righteousness of God! Thousands of treasures circle round this poverty, and a myriad kingdoms of glory yearn for such abasement! Shouldst thou attain to a drop of the ocean of the inner meaning of these words, thou wouldst surely forsake the world and all that is therein, and, as the Phoenix wouldst consume thyself in the flames of the undying Fire." The Kitáb-i-Íqán, Author: Bahá’u’lláh,
