CollapsibleLists.js

An object allowing lists to dynamically expand and collapse

Original version created by Stephen Morley - http://code.stephenmorley.org/javascript/collapsible-lists/ -
and released under the terms of the CC0 1.0 Universal legal code:

http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode

Ideas
1. Remember expanded states
2. Make DL collapsible via its DD
3. Support collapsing of DL component children (DD and DT)

Todo summary: (see "todo"'s below)
1. Optimize iteration algorithms
2. When #1 is completed, check top-most class of list (or its parent) for `doNotRecurse` and pre-expansion options

Ideas
1. Remember expanded states
2. Make DL collapsible via its DD
3. Support collapsing of DL component children (DD and DT)

Todo summary: (see "todo"'s below)
1. Optimize iteration algorithms
2. When #1 is completed, check top-most class of list (or its parent) for `doNotRecurse` and pre-expansion options

Ideas
1. Remember expanded states
2. Make DL collapsible via its DD
3. Support collapsing of DL component children (DD and DT)

Sarah:

Personal wiki page of Brett Zamir. To leave a message, please use my [[User_talk:Brettz9|talk]] page.

==Introduction==

Hi,

I am the maintainer of Bahai9.com. You can see [[pedia:Wiki|History of Bahá'í wiki websites]] ([https://bahaipedia.org/index.php?title=Wiki&oldid=70461 permlink]) for more on the history of the project.

As to my personal involvement in creating Bahai9.com, I could go back to my time at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I wanted to write a handbook that might assist future Bahá'í College Clubs in planning activities. I then figured I may as well to try to make it a general template for Bahá'í college clubs.

I submitted my project to our National Spiritual Assembly, but they favored a must slimmer idea of a handbook than I had been working on!

I later felt my work could become an even broader purpose tool by which individual Bahá'ís could contemplate the various departments of life, take into account guidance from the Bahá'í Writings about these areas, and then make plans for study, self-improvement and service.

As wikis first came on the scene, this power of collaboration became fully evident such as in what Wikipedia had been building up (my own first introduction to it was in marveling at how it had its own informative page just about [[wikipedia:International Sign|Gestuno]], an international auxiliary language attempt for the deaf).

I came to feel that the collaborative nature of wikis could best serve the knowledge part of this project concept (I never implemented a note-taking component by which one could store notes, though one might be able to use a browser add-on or such that allowed saving notes by webpage, integrating this into a web-based calendar and to-do list, etc.). I felt that others could ensure the project could be improved upon and grow into the future.

After investigating and using wikis, I found a site which hosted wikis for people, and I added some content to that site (now defunct), but then Jonah of http://bahai-library.com graciously let me host a wiki on his site, where we had more ownership of the content, and I later transferred that wiki to its own domain here.

==Thanks==

One important (though not especially difficult) milestone I feel was integrating all of ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'' across the site. I am indebted to Helen Hornby and to Charles Hornby for permitting use of its contents.

I am also indebted to David Haslip, the founder of http://bahaipedia.org , with whom I have partnered over the years on certain web projects and who is now hosting the server content and handling software upgrades.

And as mentioned, to Jonah Winters, who allowed me not only to host the wiki early on, but also helped incubate my interest in web development in allowing me to try out programs there, and to implement my desire to allow popular Bahá'í Writings pages to inform users of collaborative content where they could learn more about a given book and its content.

* Please visit http://onetongue.com to fill out a form there to indicate your support of a world auxiliary language...and find at least 2 others who are like-minded to do the same!

<h2 align="center" style="margin-bottom: 17px;">Welcome to the Bahá'í9 Wiki page!</h2>

We are building an online [[Bahai9:Copyrights|open-content]] Bahá'í site inspired by the open-content [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] project. '''''Note:''' This is a [[Bahai9:compendium|compendium]], not an encyclopedia where articles are written under an essay style with paragraphs as at Wikipedia (see our [[Bahai9:site rules|site rules]]).''<br />

We started at an [https://bahai-library.com/wiki earlier site] in November 5, 2003 (this incarnation in August 17, 2004), and we are now working on [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles.

==How much trouble people undergo merely for outward benefits==

"Later in the day the conversation was mainly about Columbus, who, intending to reach India, traveled by sea in a straight line from east to west, and, on reaching land, found himself on the shores of the American continent. `Really,' `Abdu'l-Bahá said, `how much trouble these people undergo merely for outward benefits. How many lives have been lost only in an effort to explore the North Pole and for worldly renown.' He related a story:
Once one of the Europeans fell overboard in a storm at sea and his fellow passengers saved him. However, he lamented to himself, `Oh, why wasn't I drowned so that the publications of the incident in the newspapers would have spread my name in all countries?' These people accept death for trifling affairs but they never take a step in the path of the Cause of God."

Trinity

==References==
* ''[[Some Answered Questions]]'', Chapter [[saqc:27|27]]

==There is the Giver of the Grace, the Grace, and the Recipient of the Grace; the real doctrine of the Singularity==

"But as to the question of the Trinity, know, O advancer unto God, that in each one of the cycles wherein the Lights have shone forth upon the horizons (i.e., in each prophetic dispensation) and the Forgiving Lord hath revealed Himself on Mount Paran (see Habbakkuk 3:3, etc.) or Mount Sinai, or Mount Seir (see Ezekiel 35), there are necessarily three things: The Giver of the Grace, and the Grace, and the Recipient of the Grace; the Source of the Effulgence, and the Effulgence, and the Recipient of the Effulgence; the Illuminator, and the Illumination, and the Illuminated. Look at the Mosaic cycle: The Lord, and Moses, and the Fire (i.e., the burning bush), the Intermediary; and in the Mohammedan cycle: The Lord, the Apostle (or Messenger, Mohammed), and Gabriel (for, as the Mohammedans believe, Gabriel brought the Revelation from God to Mohammed). Look at the sun and its rays and the heat which results from its rays; the rays and the heart are but two effects of the sun, but inseparable from it; yet the sun is one in its essence, unique in its real identity, single in its attributes, neither is it possible that anything should resemble it. Such is the essence of the Truth concerning the Unity, the real doctrine of the Singularity, the undiluted reality as to the (Divine) Sanctity."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas]]'', pp. [[tab:117|117]]-118)

==Falsity of the Trinity is evident; Bible verses misunderstood==

"O thou seeker after Truth!

"The question of the Trinity, since the time of His Holiness Christ until now, is the belief of the Christians, and to the present time all the learned among them are perplexed and confounded. All have confessed that the question is beyond the grasp of reason, for three cannot become one, nor one three. To unite these is impossible; it is either one or three. If we say the Essence of Divinity is divided, even in some aspects, division is one of the necessities of the contingent world and of generation, but the Ancient is holy (i.e., whole and indivisible). If we say that the Trinity was originally one and was later divided, change and transformation will be necessarily applied to the Essence of Oneness, and change and transformation are necessities of the contingent world and not of the Essence of Divinity. If we say this number is Ancient, three Ancients become necessary, and among the three some are distinguished which are also Ancients. In this wise five Ancients are the result, and among the five are those who are distinguished and thus nine Ancients become necessary, and so on ad infinitium.

"Thus considered, Trinity is made a necessity, although the falsity of Trinity is evident. Furthermore, the signs of oneness are evident and plain in all existence. If thou shouldst gather all existent beings, thou wouldst be unable to find two alike in all states and qualities; of necessity there is a difference. Thus the signs of oneness are manifest and evident in all things. How much more is the Creator of all things!

"But there are, in the Gospels, clear expressions indicative of Trinity; among them: “The Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father.” As Christians did not understand the meaning of this expression, their thoughts were scattered.

"The reality of this question is as follows: Divine Oneness is proven and He revealeth Himself in the Holy Essences. The sun is one sun but manifesteth itself in different mirrors. If thou lookest into the mirror and seest the manifestation of the sun, thou wilt way, the sun is in the mirror and this sun manifest in the mirror is the same sun of the heavens; although two suns, yet in reality they are one. The sun hath not descended from its high and lofty station, it hath not taken up its abode in this mirror, but hath manifested itself therein.

"The Christ reality was like unto a pure mirror and the Sun of Reality shone upon it from the Holy Horizon. Therefore, it became evident that the sun is one with regard to reality but manifesting itself in all mirrors.

"This question was explained in full for Miss …, who translated it upon paper. Thou wilt soon learn thereof1 . This difficult question in its entirety was elucidated, explained and proven."

"1. Incorporated in book entitled “Some Answered Questions,” compiled by Miss L. C. Barney and published in 1908 by Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, Eng."

==Need to read==

===Young Bahá'ís to gain a mastery of "God Passes By"===
"...as to what subjects within the Faith you should concentrate on he feels that the young Bahá'ís should gain a mastery of such books as the “Dawn-breakers”, “God Passes By”, the “Íqán”, “Some Answered Questions” and the more important Tablets. All aspects of the Faith should be deeply studied."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Importance of Deepening|The Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith]]'', no. [https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_deepening#143 143])

==="God Passes By" is an important book providing a weighty history and review of the Faith and of great educational value===

"The Guardian has already had a sum transferred to Mr. Hofman to meet the expenses of publishing "God Passes By". He trusts this important work will soon be in your hands, as it will be of great educational value to the German believers. They are, he feels, just the people to appreciate such a weighty history and review of the Faith."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Light of Divine Guidance]]'', pp. [[ldg1:160|160]]-161)

===Gives fuller knowledge of Faith's history as well as how it has been attacked by enemies formerly having high positions in its ranks (e.g., Ahmad Sohrab and those of formerly higher rank) who were cast out to preserve its health===

"He is pleased to hear that the friends are intensively studying 'God Passes By', as it is most essential for them to gain not only a fuller knowledge of their Faith's history but also to see how persistently it has been attacked by enemies who once held high positions in its ranks. Indeed he hopes a perusal of this book will help not only friends and observers of the Cause to see Ahmad Sohrab in his proper colours, but also believers who are not familiar with the defections of those who were far more highly placed and who turned against the Faith in the days of Bahá'u'lláh and the Master."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], 16 October 1944, to participants at Louhelen Summer School, August 1944, quoted in the compilation [[Studying the Writings of the Guardian]], at https://bahai-library.com/compilation_studying_writings_guardian)

"The Guardian feels that one of the best antidotes to those --Sohrab or others--who seek to undermine the faith of the believers, especially by harping on the subject of excommunication, is to place in their hands a German edition of "God Passes By". For in that book he (the Guardian) has clearly pointed out that the Cause of God has always been attacked from within, and that, beginning in the days of the Báb, the "Sea of Truth" has over and over cast out its spiritually dead. It must do this, even as the body seeks to rid itself of poisons so as to preserve the health of the entire organism."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Light of Divine Guidance]]'', vol. 1, p. [[ldg1:136|136]])

===To master the subjects and facts contained and bring them to the attention of the Bahá'ís for perspective===

"He feels that you will benefit greatly by the history of the Cause as outlined in 'God Passes By', and he hopes you will master the subjects and facts it contains and help to bring them to the attention of the Bahá'ís, as there is a need in the Cause to see our Holy Faith in its proper perspective, and he feels you can be of great help in this connection."

:(August 1944, to an individual believer, quoted in the compilation “Studying the Writings of Shoghi Effendi” on-line at https://bahai-library.com/compilation_studying_writings_guardian )

==Potential for historical error==

"The faith of the believers should not be disturbed, nor their adherence to the provisions of the Covenant diminished, by the occasional discovery of factual inaccuracies in the Guardian's writings such as “God Passes By” or his translation of “Nabil's Narrative”..."

"That some of the historical reference material he consulted may have contained inaccuracies, which inadvertently found their way into his book, should not be surprising. Such factual discrepancies do not result in any blemish on the infallible insight with which the Guardian treats such subjects as the development of the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh, the significance and import of the turbulent events in its history, and the interpretation of its Teachings.

"As you have pointed out in your letter, this matter should be treated with care and wisdom. When the believers are properly informed of it, they will thereby be immunized against the attempts of the malicious to sow the seeds of doubt through propagating unwarranted inferences about the Guardian's infallibility on the basis of their discovery of historical inaccuracies.

:(20 January 1998) [1]

:(cited at https://bahai-library.com/uhj_self-defense_ungodly_infallibility#s4 )

==Important portions of the unpublished portions of the Dawn-Breakers are reflected in God Passes By==

"You inquire about the unpublished portion of “The Dawn-Breakers”. The Universal House of Justice has no specific plans for the translation into English and publication of this material. Important portions of this material are reflected in the contents of “God Passes By” as well as the Hand of the Cause of God Hasan Balyuzi’s “Bahá’u’lláh, The King of Glory”."

:(at https://bahai-library.com/uhj_persian_manuscript_tarikh-i-nabil )

===Note===
* Since the published portion of the Dawn-Breakers rather closely matched chapters 1-5, and part of 7 for the Bábí period, it seems that the unpublished content is likely to include instead chapters 6 until 13 (the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh), i.e., covering the Ministry of Bahá'u'lláh.

====[[Repetition of prayers or verses|Repetition]] of Remover of Difficulties 500 times not a regular observance====

"On page 1 of your October News letter you have quoted the Bab's prayer for the removal of difficulties and have added: 'Baha'u'llah has said to repeat this prayer 500 times by day and by night that it may aid us to recognize Him and our souls will be illumined.'

"The above statement gives the impression that the repetition of the said prayer 500 times is one of the prescribed devotionals of the Faith, and has a specified effect on the believer who observes this form of prayer.

"We do not feel it is justified to infer such conclusions from the reference in 'God Passes By', page [[gpb:119|119]], which you mention. The passage in question obviously refers to a specific circumstance in the life of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad before the declaration of His Mission, and should not be presented to the believers as one of the prescribed observances of the faith."

Some Answered Questions

==Subject matter==

===Reveals the significance of this divine revelation and unity of prior Prophets===

"Books such as the Iqán, Some Answered Questions and The Dawn-Breakers should be mastered by every Bahá'í. The first two books will reveal the significance of this divine revelation as well as the unity of all the Prophets of old."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]] to an individual believer, from a letter dated 9 June 1932, in ''[[Importance of Deepening our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith]]'', no. [https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_deepening#106 106])

===Study Some Answered Questions (to find answers on certain theological questions)===

"The soul or spirit of the individual comes into being with the conception of his physical body.

"The Prophets, unlike us, are pre-existent. The Soul of Christ existed in the spiritual world before His birth in this world. We cannot imagine what that world is like, so words are inadequate to picture His state of being.

"We cannot know God directly, but only through His Prophets. We can pray to Him, realizing that through His Prophets we know Him, or we can address our prayer in thought to Bahá'u'lláh, not as God, but as the Door to our knowing God.

"We find God only through the Intermediary of His Prophet. We see the Perfection of God in His Prophets. Time and space are physical things; God the Creator is not in a 'place' as we conceive of place in physical terms. God is the Infinite Essence, the Creator. We cannot picture Him or His state; if we did, we would be His equals, not His Creatures. God is never flesh, but mirrored in the attributes of His Prophets, we see His Divine characteristics and perfections.

"Shoghi Effendi advises you to study 'Some Answered Questions' and the '[[Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh]]' which help you to grasp these questions."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of Shoghi Effendi]] to an individual believer, October 9, 1947; quoted in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. 1699)

===Can find the clue to all perplexing questions that agitate the mind of man in search after true knowledge===

"Regarding the questions raised in our beloved Bahá'í brother, Mr. Dewing's letter, I feel that I can not add to what has already been fully and clearly stated by our Master `Abdu'l-Bahá in the book of "Some Answered Questions", where, I am sure, she will find the clue to all the perplexing questions that agitate the mind of man in his search after true knowledge. The more this Book is read with care and patience, the greater are its revelations, and the more complete the understanding of its inner truth and significance."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], 13 March 1923, ''[[Messages to the Antipodes]]'', p. [https://bahai-library.com/writings/shoghieffendi/antipodes/antipodes.html#15 15])

==Importance of reading (and mastering/reading carefully)==

===Encouragement to study (outstanding book in our Bahá'í Literature and one of the most important for proper study of the Faith)===

"I urge you to study the Teachings and particularly `Abdu'l-Bahá's Some Answered Questions and Dr. Esslemont's Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era, two of the outstanding books in our Bahá'í Literature."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Messages to Canada 1999|Messages to Canada (1999 version)]]'', p. [[mc2:20|20]])

"He feels that the urgent need now is to get out "Some Answered Questions", which is one of the most important books for a proper study of the Faith. When this has been printed, the next publication of the Master's Works can be considered...."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Unfolding Destiny]]'', p. [[ud:383|383]])

===To gain a mastery of Some Answered Questions===

"...as to what subjects within the Faith you should concentrate on he feels that the young Bahá'ís should gain a mastery of such books as the "Gleanings", the "Dawn-breakers", "God Passes By", the "Íqán", "Some Answered Questions" and the more important Tablets.

"Of special importance is the Book of the Íqán which explains the attitude of the Cause towards the prophets of God and their mission in the history of society. Besides this there is Some Answered Questions of the Master and The Dawn-Breakers of Nabíl. Every Bahá’í should master these books and be able to explain their contents to others. Besides their importance, they are interesting and most absorbing."

"Books such as the Íqán, Some Answered Questions, the Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, Nabíl’s Narrative and Dr. Esslemont’s book should be read and read over again by every soul who desires to serve the Movement or considers himself an active member of the group."

"The original of "Some Answered Questions" in Persian is preserved in the Holy Land; its text was read in full and corrected by Abdu'l-Baha Himself." (23 March 1987)"

:(Letter written [[on behalf of the Universal House of Justice]], from a memorandum of the Research department dated 28 March 1996 at https://bahai-library.com/uhj_authenticity_some_texts#memorandum2 )

"According to the Teachings of Bahá'u'lláh no authority can be attached to a mere hearsay, no matter through whom it may come. The Tablets that bear the seal or signature of Bahá'u'lláh and the Master are the only parts of the literature that have any authority and that constitute the basis of our belief. All other forms of literature may bear points of interest but they cannot be considered as authentic. This is the view that Shoghi Effendi took towards the talks of Abdu'l-Bahá that Ahmad Sohrab had incorporated in his book, and it is the attitude that he would take towards any other reported saying, naturally unless the Master has appended His signature to that talk and thereby given it the authority of a Tablet such as is the case with 'Some Answered Questions' that was actually corrected by Him."

===="the Divine Reality is sanctified from singleness" is to forcibly impress us with fact that Godhead is unknowable====

"The Master uses the term "the Divine Reality is sanctified from singleness" in order to forcibly impress us with the fact that the Godhead is unknowable and that to define It is impossible; we cannot contain It in such concepts as singleness and plurality which we apply to things we know and can experience. He uses the method of exaggerated emphasis in order to drive home His thought that we know the sun directly though its rays, the Godhead indirectly through the Manifestations of God."

:(From a letter on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, dated 20 February 1950 cited in Bahá'í Canada Supplement 6, online at https://bahai-library.com/fazel_understanding_exclusivist_texts )

"To Mrs. Ella Goodall Cooper

"It is written in Miss Barney's book that the human fetus is not an animal fetus although it has gone through various and complex transformations and metamorphosis in the womb until it has taken to itself human form and appearance. Therefore that fetus was essentially human and the problem is solved when we realize that it has transformed from one form to another until it appears and manifests with the utmost beauty...

==Analysis by Chapter (to move to Bahaipedia as not authoritative sources)==

===41===

When 'Abdu'l-Bahá states "the earth, every three hundred and sixty-five days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and a fraction, completes a revolution; and then it begins a new cycle--that is to say, the first cycle is again renewed.", this is apparently in reference to the mean [[Wikipedia:Tropical year|tropical year]].

==Pronouns==

===Even minor modifications to the writings (such as pronouns) are wrong===

"As regards the changing of the pronouns in the prayers of Bahá'u'lláh. Even though the change is not so important for it makes no alteration in an important aspect of the writings, yet it is counter to a basic principle mentioned by Bahá'u'lláh in the book of Aqdas. There he prohibits in most emphatic terms the interpolation of the Words. It would therefore be wrong to effect such modifications even though it is insignificant."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], letter to an individual, ''[[Messages to the Antipodes]]'', p. [https://bahai-library.com/writings/shoghieffendi/antipodes/antipodes.html#80 80])

====Note on Aqdas====

''Note: Although the only apparent mention in the Aqdas (paragraph [[kap:105|105]]) does not directly criticize [[interpolation of the Word of God|interpolation]], in the context of criticizing false interpretations, it does criticize the perverting of the Word of God. 'Abdu'l-Bahá in His Will and Testament does directly criticize interpolation, however.''

====Pronouns referring to the Manifestation or Master should be capitalized====

"Pronouns referring to the Manifestation, or the Master, should, however, invariably be capitalized."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of the Guardian]] to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada, November 8, 1948: Bahá'í News, No. 216, p. 1, February 1949, in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1700|1700]])

"The Guardian wishes your Committee to capitalize all pronouns when referring to Bahá'u'lláh, the Bab and the Master, even though the newspapers do not use them."

:(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the Bahá'í News Service Committee, February 5, 1938; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:364|364]])

"In regard to your question about capitalizing the pronouns: The Guardian realizes this looks a little strange to non-Bahá'ís, but he feels we, being believers, and having the full sense of the Stations of the Central figures of our Faith, should do this as a sign of respect under all circumstances."

:(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, November 22, 1949; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:364|364]])

"He is interested in accomplishing two things--he would like in the European languages to have as much uniformity with the English translations as possible; he does not wish the Bahá'í translations to be in any way a flagrant violation of the rules of the language into which our literature is being translated.

"Your Committee must conscientiously study this question, and then do the best you can to have the Bahá'í literature in French meet the high standards of the French language and grammar.

"If the possessive and demonstrative adjectives and pronouns in French are never capitalized where they stand for 'God', then this should not be done in the Bahá'í literature. If there is a precedent for doing so in the French language, however, they should be. The same is true of the attributes of God."

:(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Translation and Publication Committee of France, February 15, 1957; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:365|365]])

====Not permissible to substitute the plural for the singular====

"In regard to your question as to whether it is permissible to substitute the plural pronoun for the singular in prayers worded in the singular, the Guardian would strongly urge your N.S.A. to inform the friends to strictly adhere to the text of the Holy Writings, and not to deviate even a hair-breadth from what has been revealed by the Holy Pen. Besides, it should be noted that congregational prayer has been discouraged by Bahá'u'lláh, and that it is allowed only in the case of the prayer for the dead."

:(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of Australia and New Zealand, October 17, 1934; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1496|1496]]; also in ''[[Messages to the Antipodes]]'')

====Not permissible to change pronouns even in the long Obligatory Prayer or healing prayers; ignore this "mere detail" or say a different prayer====

"Also concerning your question about the prayers and changing the pronouns: This cannot be done, even in the long Obligatory Prayer or the healing prayers. Either we must ignore this mere detail or say a prayer that applies to our sex or number...."

:([[On behalf of Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Unfolding Destiny]]'', p. [[ud:173|173]])

====Prayers should be printed without a word (including pronouns) changed====

"Regarding your question as to the changing of pronouns in Bahá'í prayers: The Guardian does not approve of such changes, either in the specific prayers or in any others. They should be read as printed without changing a single word."

:(From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada, April 13, 1944: Bahá'í News, No. 171, November 1944, p. 3; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1495|1495]])

"In quoting prayers any part may be used, but should be quoted as it is, however short."

:(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, November 19, 1945: Bahá'í News, No. 210, August 1948, p. 3; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1497|1497]])

====Permissible to change gender of pronoun in prayer for the dead (because the prayer specifically allows for it); others are to be used as revealed====

"We have your letter of 23 December 1966 asking whether it is permissible to change the gender of the pronoun in Bahá'í prayers for the dead when the deceased person is a woman.

"The prayer for the dead which is obligatory appears on page [[pm:260|260]] of 'Prayers and Meditations'. This prayer allows for a change in gender.

"Other prayers for the dead are optional, but if used they are to be used as revealed."

:(From a letter of the Universal House of Justice to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States, January 17, 1967; in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:660|660]])

===We/Our===

====When Baha'u'llah uses 'We', 'Our', etc., it is the regal form====

"When Baha'u'llah uses the plural--'We', 'Our' etc.--He is merely using a form which is regal and has greater power than the singular 'I'. We have this same usage in English, when the King says 'we'. The Pope does the same thing."

:(From a letter written on behalf of [[Shoghi Effendi]] to an individual believer, February 18, 1951; quoted in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1554|1554]])

==Tablets were brought into conformity with the grammatical conventions of the people==

"QUESTION: Concerning disparities between certain revealed verses.

"ANSWER: Many Tablets were revealed and dispatched in their original form without being checked and reviewed. Consequently, as bidden, they were again read out in the Holy Presence, and brought into conformity with the grammatical conventions of the people in order to forestall the cavils of opponents of the Cause. Another reason for this practice is that the new style inaugurated by the Herald, may the souls of all else but Him be offered up for His sake, was seen to be marked by substantial latitude in adherence to the rules of grammar; sacred verses therefore were then revealed in a style which is for the most part in conformity with current usage for ease of understanding and concision of expression."

Tablets of the Divine Plan

Read online at https://bahai-library.com/abdulbaha_tablets_divine_plan

There is also an older translation with [[pilgrim's notes]] at https://bahai-library.com/abdulbaha_tablets_instructions_explanation

==The Tablets of the Divine Plan Are the Charter for Teaching==

(See also ''[[Advent of Divine Justice]]'' for another "Charter of Teaching")

"As you are no doubt aware, the Tablets of the Divine Plan, which were revealed by Abdu'l-Bahá during the First World War, are the Charter for the teaching of the Faith. All the teaching plans launched by the beloved Guardian, as well as those subsequently directed by the Universal House of Justice, are stages in the implementation of this master plan conceived by the Centre of the Covenant for the diffusion of the Message of Bahá'u'lláh."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of the Universal House of Justice]] to an individual believer, September 29, 1977, in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:1628|1628]])

==Tablets of the Divine Plan, one of three impulse-producing charters, is for the propagation of its Administrative Order==

"It is indeed my fervent and constant prayer that the members of this firmly-knit, intensely alive, world-embracing Community, spurred on by the triple impulse generated through the revelation of the Tablet of Carmel by Bahá'u'lláh and the Will and Testament as well as the Tablets of the Divine Plan bequeathed by the Center of His Covenant--the three Charters which have set in motion three distinct processes, the first operating in the Holy Land for the development of the institutions of the Faith at its World Center and the other two, throughout the rest of the Bahá'í world, for its propagation and the establishment of its Administrative Order--may advance from strength to strength and victory to victory."

:([[Shoghi Effendi]], ''[[Messages to the Bahá'í World]]'', p. [[mbw:84|84]])

==Importance of reading==

“In the arena of teaching, your indispensable terms of reference and the unerring resource to which you have ready access are the Master’s Tablets of the Divine Plan. They invest your community with extraordinary powers shared by your sister community in Canada. It is in reacquainting the American friends with the special mission, both at home and abroad, assigned to them in these seminal and timeless documents, and in relating their contents to current conditions that you will find the key to the revitalization of the teaching work and the winning of outstanding victories on the home front. In this effort you will be powerfully aided by the explanations provided in the letters of our dear Guardian, such as “The [[Advent of Divine Justice]],” “The Challenging Requirements of the Present Hour,” [in Citadel of Faith, p. [https://bahai-library.com/writings/shoghieffendi/cf/cfall.html#4 4]] “American Bahá’ís in time of World Peril.” [in Citadel of Faith, p. [https://bahai-library.com/writings/shoghieffendi/cf/cfall.html#122 122]] We have every confidence that, together with the Continental Counsellors and the Auxiliary Board members, you can discover the way further to release the enormous energies of the friends and to intensify the zeal which they have so splendidly displayed in the teaching field on so many occasions in the past.”

==Committee to be organized for translation of Tablets to translate and publish Tablets and books containing the proofs==

"Likewise, whenever it is possible a committee must be organized for the translation of the Tablets. Wise souls who have mastered and studied perfectly the Persian, Arabic, and other foreign languages, or know one of the foreign languages, must commence translating Tablets and books containing the proofs of this Revelation, and publishing those books, circulate them throughout the five continents of the globe."

:([['Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Tablets of the Divine Plan]]'', pp. [[tdp:54|54]]-55)

==From ''[[Lights of Guidance]]''==

===National Spiritual Assembly Authorizes Translations Through a Committee of Bahá'í Translators--The Guardian's Method of Transliteration Should Be Used===

"The National Spiritual Assembly which undertakes the translation, usually through a committee of Bahá'í translators, is the body which 'authorizes' the translation, if it is approved. In some instances, if there are no Bahá'í translators available, there is no objection, in principle, to employing non-Bahá'ís for this purpose. It is usual for the National Spiritual Assembly to appoint a Reviewing Committee, or establish some means of providing review of the completed translation. You will note from the enclosed memorandum that, with the exceptions enumerated therein, new translations of the Sacred Text into languages other than English must be made from the Guardian's English translation where it exists; and when no such translation exists, advice should be sought from the Universal House of Justice. In the case of Spanish, to avoid duplication of effort and to achieve the highest standard of accuracy, the National Assembly concerned should feel free to consult EBILA and/or the National Spiritual Assembly of Spain, and indeed the House of Justice encourages the closest co-operation between all administrative bodies and publishing trusts responsible for the production of literature in Spanish.

"Regarding the transliteration of Persian and Arabic words the House of Justice requests that the method adopted by the beloved Guardian, and which is described in the various volumes of 'The Bahá'í World', be followed, as it permits all languages which use the Roman alphabet to transliterate such terms in the same way throughout the Bahá'í world."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of the Universal House of Justice]] to the National Spiritual Assembly of Panama, July 16, 1979, in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:367|367]])

===Guidelines for the Translation of Bahá'í Sacred Writings===

"Translations into languages other than those akin to Persian and Arabic should normally be made from approved English translations rather than from the original Persian and Arabic. In such cases it is an advantage if it is also possible for the translator(s) to check with the original.

"All new translations into English, and all revisions of earlier translations in that language must be checked at the World Centre and officially approved before publication.

"Any believer is free to translate for his own use anything he wishes, but dissemination or publication of such translation is dependent upon their approval by the appropriate National Spiritual Assembly or, in the case of translations into English, by the World Centre.

a) If an individual Bahá'í spontaneously makes his own translation of a passage he may willingly make it available to a Spiritual Assembly but he cannot be compelled to do so.

b) If a translation made spontaneously by an individual is approved and published, he retains the copyright of his translation unless, of course, he wishes to surrender it.

"When a Spiritual Assembly wishes to have a translation made it should, if possible have the task undertaken by a committee rather than by individuals, as is explained by Abdu'l-Bahá.

a) The members of such a committee need not all be Bahá'ís.

b) Translations made by a committee are the property of the Assembly appointing the committee, and not of the members of the committee.

c) Except for translations into English, a translation made by a committee does not have to be checked unless the Assembly deems it advisable.

d) In accordance with the instructions of Shoghi Effendi the name of the committee should appear in the book as the translator, but the names of the members must not so appear."

:(Guidelines for the Translation of Bahá'í Sacred Writings attached to a letter written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to the National Assembly of Panama, July 16, 1979, in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:368|368]])

===An Individual Can Be Commissioned to Make Translations--Translations Become Property of the Assembly===

"If it is not feasible to form a translation committee, translations must, perforce, be made by individuals.

a) When an individual is commissioned by an Assembly to make a translation for it the translation should become the property of the Assembly, not of the individual, even if the work is done without remuneration. It is advisable to have this and other matters agreed in writing before the work is undertaken so that there may be no ground for subsequent misunderstandings.

b) A translation made by an individual should be checked before being published, if possible, and such checking should be done by a committee rather than by an individual, if this is feasible.

c) When a translation made by an individual is published, his name may appear as translator if he so wishes.

"Normally credit for translation should appear on all complete works and compilations that are published, as well as on books that quote translated passages.

a) Credit for translation should not appear in the case of passages quoted in communications from Bahá'í institutions, even when these are published.

b) Credit for translation need not appear on published leaflets and pamphlets unless there is a legal requirement that it do so."

:(Ibid., in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:369|369]])

===Translation of Bahá'í Literature into Everyday Language-- Simplifications and Paraphrasing Not to be Published as Scripture===

"The Universal House of Justice, in response to your letter of 20 April concerning translations into French or Creole using simpler words than the original text, has requested us to send the following three quotations. These make it clear that a quotation in English may be rendered into simple English in order to facilitate its translation into another language or dialect. However, it is not permissible to publish simplifications and paraphrased extracts of Bahá'í Writings as Bahá'í Scripture.

'We have noticed a tendency in a number of countries to attempt to translate Bahá'í literature into the current, easy, everyday language of the country. This, however, should not be an overriding consideration. Many of the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh and Abdu'l-Bahá are in exalted and highly poetic language in the original Persian and Arabic and you will see, for example, that when translating Bahá'u'lláh's Writings into English the beloved Guardian did not use present-day colloquial English but evolved a highly poetic and beautiful style, using numbers of archaic expressions reminiscent of the translations of the Bible.' (From a letter dated 7 October 1973 written by the Universal House of Justice to a National Spiritual Assembly)

'Obviously teaching literature and books about the Faith can be written in simple English. However, we feel that when the Sacred Writings are published the standard English translation should be used, but there would be no objection to printing alongside it the translation into simple English which should be described as a paraphrase of the Holy Word. Thus, for the people of ... who have difficulty in comprehending standard English, the simple English version would be in the nature of an explanation of the Writings which they could understand. In the case of teaching literature in which quotations from the Writings appear, these could either be paraphrased or a simple English version could be used with the standard version printed as a footnote. This method would also provide a means whereby the people of ... could improve their knowledge and understanding of the English language.' (From a letter dated 20 September 1973 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to a National Spiritual Assembly)

'It is, of course, permissible to translate Bahá'í Writings into other languages and dialects of languages. It is also possible to simplify or paraphrase the Bahá'í Writings in order to facilitate their translation into languages and dialects having small vocabularies. However, it is not permissible to publish simplifications and paraphrases of Bahá'í Writings as Bahá'í Scripture.'" (From a letter dated 13 March 1969 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to a National Spiritual Assembly)

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of the Universal House of Justice]] to the Spiritual Assembly of Guadeloupe, May 13, 1986, in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:370|370]])

===Translators Should Utilize Most Recent Editions of Books===

"The Universal House of Justice has requested us to advise you to base your translations on current editions of all the books referred to, if translation is involved. In each instance you should consult the original publisher and obtain a copy of the latest printing or edition to ensure that all approved corrections are embodied in your translation."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of the Universal House of Justice]] to the National Spiritual Assembly of Taiwan, May 22, 1984, in ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', no. [[logn:371|371]])

==(Shoghi Effendi revised his own translation at the request of the American friends, though believes not necessary to revise further)==

"As to the translation or rather revision of the translation of the "Hidden Words". A year ago, I believe, the American friends wrote to Shoghi Effendi and asked him to do it. Complying with their wish he revised his translation and they have published it both in paper and leather bound. Shoghi Effendi believes that another edition in England will be useless and perhaps will not find the necessary market. You could buy from America all the copies you need. Nevertheless, if you want to have a new English edition you can procure a copy from America. Shoghi Effendi does not believe it necessary to give it a still other revision...."

==Not to view with too critical an eye the sayings and writings of men (approach instead with open-mindedness and sympathy)==

"Warn, O Salmán, the beloved of the one true God, not to view with too critical an eye the sayings and writings of men. Let them rather approach such sayings and writings in a spirit of open-mindedness and loving sympathy. Those men, however, who, in this Day, have been led to assail, in their inflammatory writings, the tenets of the Cause of God, are to be treated differently."

==One can criticize the present social and political order only by being very general and abstract in analyzing basic ideas and conceptions==

"There is, however, one case in which one can criticize the present social and political order without being necessarily forced to side with or oppose any existing regime. And this is the method adopted by the Guardian in his `Goal of a New World Order'. His criticisms of the world conditions beside being very general in character are abstract; that is, instead of condemning existing institutional organizations it goes deeper and analyzes the basic ideas and conceptions which have been responsible for their establishment. This being a mere intellectual and philosophical approach to the problem of world political crisis, there is no objection if you wish to try such a method, which immediately carries you from the field of practical politics to that of political theory. But in view of the fact that no clear-cut line can be drawn between theory and practice you should be extremely careful not to make too free a use of such a method."

:(From a letter written [[on behalf of the Guardian]] to an individual believer, March 2, 1934, ''[[Lights of Guidance]]'', p. 452, no. [[logn:1469|1469]])

==To shun not only sectarian and corrupt politics but also pronouncements on any current system of politics associated with any government==

"There is one fundamental point which Shoghi Effendi wishes me to emphasize. By the principle of non-interference in political matters we should not mean that only corrupt politics and partial and sectarian politics are to be avoided, but that any pronouncement on any current system of politics connected with any government must be shunned. We should not only take sides with no political party, group or system actually in use, but we should also refuse to commit ourselves to any statement which may be interpreted as being sympathetic or antagonistic to any existing political organization or philosophy. The attitude of the Bahá'ís must be one of complete aloofness. They are neither for nor against any system of politics. Not that they are the ill-wishers of their respective governments but that due to certain basic considerations arising out of their teachings and of the administrative machinery of their Faith they prefer not to get entangled in political affairs and to be misinterpreted and misunderstood by their countrymen.

"In the light of this principle it becomes clear that to contribute articles on current political affairs to any newspaper must inevitably lead the writer to express, directly or in an indirect manner, his view and his criticisms on the subject. He is, in addition, always liable to be misinterpreted and misunderstood by the politicians. The best thing to do, therefore, is simply not to write on current politics at all."

==Publishing articles on controversial and political issues of the day would often be misconstrued; be careful not to antagonize any existing institution, individual, government, or people; we should, however, share vital truths for betterment of mankind==

"Touching the publication of articles and pamphlets bearing on the controversial and political issues of the day, I desire to remind my dearly-beloved fellow-workers that at the present stage when the Cause is still in its infancy, any minute and detailed analysis by the friends of subjects that are in the forefront of general discussion would often be misconstrued in certain quarters and give rise to suspicions and misunderstandings that would react unfavorably on the Cause. They would tend to create a misconception of the real object, the true mission, and the fundamental character of the Bahá'í Faith. We should, while endeavoring to uphold loyally and expound conscientiously our social and moral principles in all their essence and purity, in all their bearings upon the divers phases of human society, insure that no direct reference or particular criticism in our exposition of the fundamentals of the Faith would tend to antagonize any existing institution, or help to identify a purely spiritual movement with the base clamorings and contentions of warring sects, factions and nations. We should strive in all our utterances to combine the discretion and noble reticence of the wise with the frankness and passionate loyalty of the ardent advocate of an inspiring Faith. While refusing to utter the word that would needlessly alienate or estrange any individual, government or people, we should fearlessly and unhesitatingly uphold and assert in their entirety such truths the knowledge of which we believe is vitally and urgently needed for the good and betterment of mankind."

Eschewment of fellowship with ungodly

== Eschew all fellowship with the ungodly ==
"O FRIEND!

"In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly."

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], ''[[Hidden Words]]'' from the Persian, no. [[hwp:3|3]])

==The company of the ungodly increases sorrow==

"O MY SON!

"The company of the ungodly increaseth sorrow, whilst fellowship with the righteous cleanseth the rust from off the heart. He that seeketh to commune with God, let him betake himself to the companionship of His loved ones; and he that desireth to hearken unto the word of God, let him give ear to the words of His chosen ones."

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], ''[[Hidden Words]]'' from the Persian, no. [[hwp:56|56]])

==Do not walk with or seek fellowship with the ungodly, as it turns the heart's radiance into fire==

"O SON OF DUST!

"Beware! Walk not with the ungodly and seek not fellowship with him, for such companionship turneth the radiance of the heart into infernal fire."

:([[Bahá'u'lláh]], ''[[Hidden Words]]'' from the Persian, no. [[hwp:57|57]])

== Shun those who disbelieve in god and are wayward ==
"In the passage [[hwp:3|'eschew all fellowship with the ungodly,']] Bahá'u'lláh means that we should shun the company of those who disbelieve in God and are wayward. The word 'ungodly' is a reference to such perverse people. The words [[bp:209|'Be thou as a flame of fire to My enemies and a river of life eternal to My loved ones']] should not be taken in their literal sense. Bahá'u'lláh's advice is that again we should flee from the enemies of God and instead seek the fellowship of His lovers."

===Note===
* The sources within the quote are from the ''[[Hidden Words]]'' and [[Lawh-i-Ahmad (Arabic)]], respectively.

==For some wrongdoers, with discretion and tact, one can try to warn and educate them, but for some, only people with perfect integrity should associate with them; institutions should protect public from such individuals; associate with people of all religions and races but do not have fellowship with the wicked/people of negation/denial==

<div id="associating-bad-character"></div>"Question: `How should one associate with people of bad character?' `Abdu'l-Bahá replied:

"This, too, has two aspects. There are certain evils whose consequences affect the doer only and do not extend to others. Of course, with discretion and tact, we must try to warn and educate wrongdoers. They are sick; we must bring healing to them. But there are actions which are injurious to others. Association with persons who commit such deeds leads to a deterioration of morals and therefore to mingle with them is not advisable, except for persons of perfect integrity, who can also impart education. They should be exhorted to exert themselves to modify their morals and refine their behavior. The public should be protected from such harmful conduct by the institutions which administer justice. Thus, in the Tablets of the Blessed Beauty, although He commends association with people of all religions and races, He also forbids fellowship with the wicked, admonishing us to shun the people of negation and denial."

:([[`Abdu'l-Bahá]], ''[[Mahmúd's Diary]]'', Thursday, May 2, 1912, Chicago, p. [https://bahai-library.com/books/mahmud/index.html#74 74])

"Another friend asked about association with the wicked or evil—doers. “These are of two kinds,” explained ’Abdu’l-Baha, “one kind where the harm returns to the evil—doer himself, and he is not an assailant. Undoubtedly such an evil—doer must be awakened and trained with wisdom. He is sick; he must be cured. But the other kind, whose menace reaches others, and when association with such a person becomes the cause of immorality—in this case association with such a person is not permissible, except for those who are able to stop, train and win him, and as much as possible strive to improve his morals and uplift his character; otherwise, appeal should be made to the Centers of Justice to protect human society from the menacing deeds of such persons. In the Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, too, association with all the people of different religions and the recognition of the oneness of mankind is enjoined; but also association with the wicked is prohibited, and it is shown how it is necessary to be careful of the deniers and negative people.”

==Continuing dialogue with those who show a fixed antagonism to the Faith and who demonstrate to be impervious to any other ideas, is usually fruitless and even spiritually corrosive==

"Discussion with those who sincerely raise problematic issues, whether they be Bahá'ís or not, and whether -- if the latter -- they disagree with Bahá'í teachings, can be beneficial and enlightening. However, to continue dialogue with those who have shown a fixed antagonism to the Faith, and have demonstrated their imperviousness to any ideas other than their own, is usually fruitless and, for the Bahá'ís who take part, can be burdensome and even spiritually corrosive."

==If we see an evil person is not influenceable by us, we should shun his company due to it being unhealthy==

"We know absence of light is darkness, but no one would assert darkness was not a fact. It exists even though it is only the absence of something else. So evil exists too, and we cannot close our eyes to it, even though it is a negative existence. We must seek to supplant it by good, and if we see an evil person is not influenceable by us, then we should shun his company for it is unhealthy."

==Need to develop ability to detect good people from evil ones==

==May associate publicly with those engrossed in sensuality but may be tempted if closely associating; do not shun ill-tempered or those who lie but teach them and pray to be immune; associate with heedless who may be awakened and instructed==

{{PilgrimsNote|Question: "Are we called to associate with those with evil habits?"<br><br>

"Answer: "There are various grades of evil habits. There are certain souls whose moral lives are petrified and immersed in a sea of sensuality. You may meet these people in public but there is no need of close association; because if one's character is not strong enough to be proof against temptation one may be slowly led into those risky paths. Sensuality is like leprosy. It is contagious. There are other people who are ill-tempered, who are accustomed to tell lies or fibs. We must not shun these people. Gently we must teach them—and pray every night that we may not become inoculated with these poisonous social microbes—and show them by example, by word and by deed the benefits of veracity and truthfulness. There are yet other souls who are heedless, who have been led to the edge of dangerous precipices through their own carelessness; one word of warning will bring them the realization of their critical conditions and immediately they retreat. One must associate with these people and try his best to awaken them and instruct them in the better rules of life."}}
