Invisible Heroes: Seven Imprisoned Bahá’is

by

Arrested Friends

I love science fiction. A few friends and I recently finished watching the highly acclaimed Babylon 5 science fiction TV series. I have been thinking about one of my favorite episodes called: “Here comes the Inquisitor”, in which an inquisitor called Sebastian is summoned to determine if two of the main characters, Delenn and Sheridan, …

The Garifuna, a Voice in a Chorus

by

GarifunaCeremony

I love Startrek TNG (the next generation) and have seen all the episodes at least once.  I have been thinking about one of the episodes lately, called “first contact”, a story of an undercover first contact mission, where Riker is captured by the xenophobic aliens, who believe he is a scout for an invasion.  One …

December 21, 2012: End of the World or the End of the Beginning

by

Bahram Nadimi

  The end of the Mayan calendar has now come and gone, and to the relief of many, we did not have the much anticipated apocalypse on Earth on December 21.  So what happened?  Were the Mayans mistaken? Or did we misinterpret the significance of this date? The last time the world was supposed to …

Islamic Science and the Renaissance: Paving the Way for Modern Astronomy and Physics

by

coprenicus

I have previously written several blogs on Islamic science and how it not only fostered the right conditions, but provided a firm foundation for the emergence of the European renaissance. I decided to dig a little deeper, to see if there was clear, concrete evidence for Islamic science paving the way for the emergence of—in …

Fiction & Media: Cry

by

Saskatoon: The City of Bridges

This is my first attempt at writing fiction.  I got inspired to write this during my recent trip to Canada.  It is a story about an unexpected trauma triggering a spiritual rebirth. oOo Katherine was having another of her nightmares. As always, she was running for her life and a tall man wearing a mask …

Thanksgiving in New York

by

sb_javits_center_nymag

It was a thanksgiving to remember. It was about twenty years ago, November of 1992, that my mother and I visited new York, for the purpose of attending the second Baha’i World Congress, a congress to pay homage to the 100th anniversary of the passing of the Prophet and Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, Bahá’u’lláh. …

East meets West, Abdu’l-Bahá’s Travels to Europe and North America

by

Abdu

Potent spiritual forces were set in motion about hundred years ago as Abdu’l-Bahá, the leader of the then nascent Bahá’í Faith and son of its Prophet-Founder, Bahá’u’lláh, embarked on a series of journeys to the West. The unexpected growth and spread of the Faith throughout the Western world was the eventual result of these journeys. …

On Being In Love with the Poor

by

Bahram-Baltimore

For Baha’is, the period between March 2nd and March 20th  is a time of restraint and fasting. The preceding period between February 26th and March 1st is called Ayyam-i-ha or the Days Between. Literally, the days that fall between the last two months of the Bahá’í calendar. They are a time for hospitality, charity, gift …

Lillian & Mona: Drama Within a Drama

by

Cast photo: A Dress for Mona

I never thought I’d write—let alone be teary-eyed about—someone I never met. It was during my recent trip to the Research Triangle Park (RTP) in North Carolina, where I got to visit my dear friends Mark and Azadeh Perry, whom I had not seen for a while. During this visit I got to hear about …

Baha’i Writings on World Peace #3: The End of the Age

by

We know that the twentieth century marked the emergence of ‘unity of nations’, when world consciousness entered a new stage. Also, in the years immediately after the Holy Year in 1992, the impetus towards peace gained momentum; during the 1998 Asian crisis, the G20 was formed. This development was another example of the growing momentum …
