Re: Re: Re: Why Bahá'u'lláh's photograph is on wikip edia
My understanding is that the original negative of the photo has recently come into the possession of the Universal House of Justice. I mean the photo in Wikipaedia's site, from Miller's book. Good wishes, Iskandar On Wed, 1 Feb 2006, David Friedman wrote: It's authentic, it is just not ours. I think Miller got it from Jalal Azali. Do we know if anyone still has the photo?

Msgs related to photographs of Baha'u'llah
Mr. Anthony David
Australia
Dear Mr. David,
Your email message of 4 September 1999 to the Universal House of Justice
concerning the contents of the Web site ... has been referred to our Office for
response.
In one of His epistles, 'Abdu'l-Bah, the son of Bah'u'llh, wrote that
two photographs of Bah'u'llh were taken, both in Adrianople, Turkey, each in a
different pose. There are copies of both pictures at the Bah' World Centre and
one of these is displayed in the International Archives where it is viewed by
Bah' pilgrims. The image reproduced on the Web site in question seems to be a
poor reproduction of one of these photographs.
For Bah's, the photograph of Bah'u'llh is very precious and it should
not only be viewed but also handled with due reverence and respect, which is not
the case here. Thus, it is indeed disturbing to Bah's to have the image of
Bah'u'llh treated in such a disrespectful way. However, as the creator of the
site is not a Bah', there is little, if anything, that can be done to address
this matter. We hope these comments have been of assistance.
Sincerely,
Office of Public Information

Mr. yy
U.S.A.
Dear Baha'i Friend,
Your email of 30 December 1999 inquiring about portraits of Bah'u'llh
has been received at the Baha'i World Centre. Recently, on behalf of the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem, Professor Moshe Sharon presented to the Universal House
of Justice two copies of a photograph of Baha'u'llah, which were made from a
copy that exists among the university's archival holdings. The copies were received on behalf of
the House of Justice by two of its members. The House of Justice was deeply
appreciative of the courteous gesture shown by the action of the Hebrew
University.
It should be understood that there are two known photographs of
Baha'u'llah that are similar in appearance; copies of both have existed in the
Archives at the World Centre since the time of Shoghi Effendi. A copy of the one preferred by
Baha'u'llah is on display in the Archives for the viewing of nine-day pilgrims
to the Holy Land. The gift copies
presented by Professor Sharon are of the second photograph.
With loving Baha'i greetings,
Department
of the Secretariat

Wilmette Course on Islam
Dear Friends: The Wilmette Institute's next three-month e-learning course, Islam for Deepening and Dialogue, starts on February 15. It will will briefly survey pre-Islamic Arabia, examine the life of Muhammad, the process of revelation and subsequent compilation of the Qur'án, cover the teachings and practices of Islam, explore its rich civilization, and consider its current situation in the world. The subjects will be studied for the purposes of deepening and dialogue, that is, understanding the basics of Islam as a divinely revealed religion (and by comparison, the Bahá'í Faith) and dialoguing with Muslims (something we increasingly must do). The lead faculty is Dr. Nesreen Akhtarkhavari, a Jordanian-Iranian Baha'i with a doctorate in multicultural education and a Masters degree is Islamic law. The readings include a wide variety of texts by Baha'is, Muslims, and others, some academic, some journalistic, some more popular. All texts will be available on the course's website and all discussion will occur on a web-based Forum. The course is a perfect opportunity to study Islam in order to understand the historical background of the Faith. The course also aims to develop skills in presenting to others and writing. One local study group is already forming. Individual tuition is $150, but we have financial assistance available. Local study groups can be formed with as many members locally as you wish and cost $300. For more information,write us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit our website at http://www.wilmetteinstitute.org .
