The Baha'i Studies Listserv Bahá'u'lláh says this: "The Prophets 'endowed with constancy', whose loftiness and glory shine as the sun, were each honoured with aBook which all have seen, and the verses of which have been duly ascertained".
Abraham is considered a Manifestation of God in the bahá'í writings, for example in this sequence of Manifestations of God given by `Abdu'l-Bahá: His Holiness Abraham-Upon him be Peace! - took the Covenant of His Holiness Moses and gave the glad-tidings of His appearance. His, Holiness Moses took the Covenant of the Promised One, His Holiness the Christ, and gladdened the world with the glad-tidings of His Manifestation, His Holiness the Christ took theCovenant of the "Paraclete" - which means His Holiness Mohammed - and announced the glad-tidings of His Appearance. His Holiness Mohammed took the Covenant of His Holiness the Bab, and the Bab was, the Promised One of His Holiness Mohammed, for He gave the good news of His Coming. His Holiness the Blessed Perfection BAHA'O'LLAH - was the Promised One of His Holiness the Bab. The Blessed Perfection has prophesied of the coming of a Promised One after one thousand years, or after thousands of years. Abraham is considered a follower of the Sabean religion (although it is not specified if it was as the same fashion of Jesus, when He was a Jewish before God revealed His mission), even if that is truth the Founder of Sabean religion is believed to be Enoch, but then Noah (who was posterior of Enoch and before Abraham) is left without Religion or Book: "As to the religion of the Sabeans very little is known about the origins of this religion, though we Bahá'ís are certain of one thing, that the founder of it has been a divinely-sent Messenger. The country where Sabeanism became widespread and flourished was Chaldea, andAbraham is considered as having been a follower of that Faith." - Shoghi Effendi Thanks for asnwers, Hasan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-686184-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
