Free Baha'is of India

 The first organized system of compulsory funds in the Baha'i world did not come from Baha'u'llah or Abdu'l Baha. It began after 1921, under Shoghi Effendi. On March 12, 1923, Shoghi Effendi issued a call for the establishment of local and national Baha'i Funds, placing them under the exclusive control of Spiritual Assemblies. From that moment onward, financial contribution was framed not simply as generosity, but as a “sacred obligation” tied to loyalty, conscience, and service to the Cause. This marked a sharp departure from the spirit of the Faith as lived and taught by Baha'u'llah and the Master.

Whoever desires to recite the verses of his Lord to you, let him sit on a seat placed on a platform and mention (the name of) God, his Lord and the Lord of the worlds.

Hello, I'm an Argentinian native living in Panama. I 've been studying the Bab, Bahá'u'lláh, and the Bahá'ís since July. A few days ago, I discovered that there are other interpretations of Bahá'u'lláh's revelations. I can't say for sure that I'm still a believer, but there is something very strong about the Bahá'ís that is calling me intellectually and spiritually. There are also concepts that don't make sense to me, and that's where I find myself. Would it be possible to speak with one of your instructors who speaks Spanish?.
