Talk:Obedience to government
From Bahai9
Request: Verse from Kitab i Aqdas on obedience to government[edit]
In the Synopsis and Codification of the Kitab i Aqdas, it says "m. Obedience to government" under "Miscellaneous Laws, Ordinances and Exhortations". But I did some text searches of "obedience" and "government" in the Kitab i Aqdas and was not able to find any reference to this. Also, when I look at online compilations of quotes on obedience to government, I find no quotes that are from the Kitab i Aqdas. Where in the Kitab i Aqdas does it discuss obedience to government?

- Good question. One tool I find very helpful, as it is the only one I'm aware of which attempts to correlate the synopsis back to the text (the published synopsis with the Aqdas does not do so and the earlier published synopsis only did so with its footnotes. http://www.theaqdas.org/synopsis.php . I think in this case, the third quote it lists is the most direct to the topic:
- "None must contend with those who wield authority over the people; leave unto them that which is theirs, and direct your attention to men’s hearts."
- (par. 95)
- This seems to be it, thanks. Trident765 (talk) 12:00, 23 May 2021 (PDT)
