What is you take on the Bahai Faith?

[Jalili]

I was riding the bus from Savannah State the other day and I saw a Bahai Temple in the middle of the "hood" with a child clinc and fellowship hall built onto the building I never really heard of them so I decided to take a look at their website and.........take a look for yourself http://www.bahai.org/

The Bahá’í faith is an off shoot of Islam or rather another Arab religion which is very similar to Islam. There are many indigenous religions from the Middle East and from what I understand Bahá’í is basically an updated version of one of them.

Thanks for the info truth I was wondering about them for a while after I saw the building I was wondering what their intentions where I guess its just up to me to see what their about for myself in person

I'll fill every one in later.

The Baha'i faith is a way of life that beliefs that Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, and the great prophets of the Bible all stem directly from the same spiritual creator. They believe that each of these prophets came at different times when it was necessary to bring the message of a Higher Power. Concerning Islam, certain aspects of Allah's message is within Baha'i, but believers tend not to think of it as a "branch" of Islam. It is also viewed more as faith and learning about God's message in totality.

jesus,allah,khrsina are all part of the luciferian tradition,all aryan gods,asking aryan gods for help and then praying for ancestors,is asking for us to continue to be opressed,supressed and repressed
we have to ask our divine ancestors for help but many of us,choose those aryan gods,jesus,allah,when hinduism,islam and christianity are all aryan traditions,seems to be that people have abandoned their ancestral ways and then they wondered how come things arent going well in their lives

Brother, Black Jesus, Black Allah, and the rest of the faiths have their origin with Africa. The original texts within the Bible, before they were destroyed by white racists, were taken from the Ma'at Principles of Egypt. The name of Jesus , which was originally They are revolutionary traditions who stem from the Black God Ogun and the supreme being our African ancestor were connected with. I am a Christian because I have pure heart. I am a Muslim because I submit myself to a Black God. All of the messages from these Black prophets were skewed by others who did not have our interests at heart. Really, these ar not aryan gods. They are Black revolutionary prophets whose message was for the Black nation. It is just certain people who fuck that up to enslave us, portraying them as white.

The problem is that Eurocentric racists have destroyed the faiths to their own benefit. It is worshipping them like they are aryan that is the problem, not the faith itself. The spiritual beliefs of all three originated with our people. It is the issue of Black people believing the bullshit that white people have said that has led us astray.

Greetings JABOOM!

Since I've come to kno u a lil, I'll respond. The Baha'i movement was begun and a white man, named Baha' ul-Allah, loosely translated as the Glory of Allah.

Basically as I understand, read & heard that the Qur'an then know had completed its cycle and the Baha-ul-llah began a "new" cycle with new interpretations. Somewhat similar to Ghulam Ahmed, the Pakistani who began the Ahmadiyyah movement, who said that Muhammad was a prophet sent to the Arabs. And he, Pakistani, arose for Pakistani people. Who I think were basically of the Punjabi "Indians of India." That is, the ruling classes; the heavily mixed with europeans "Indians" of the North.

BTW there's a Baha'i Temple on either Auburn Av. or Edgewood, downtown Atlanta. The one's I've met were generally of an educated class, college educated and professional people. Nice folk in many ways. But not my "cup of tea" in struggle.

OH I see.......that must be why they have this big building in the middle of the projects and not doing anything in the area.

To date I have never went back and I was kind of surprised to see this tread getting many comments as of late. I was a bit curious about what they where about. Thanks for the info.
