What Baha'i do in Belarus?

Scope of Belarusian Baha’i community activity contains the following areas:

“In this day there is nothing more important than the instruction and study of clear proofs and convincing, heavenly arguments, for therein lie the source of life and the path of salvation

Abdu’l-Baha

teaching the Faith

“Be unrestrained as the wind, while carrying the Message of Him Who hath caused the Dawn of Divine Guidance to break. Consider, how the wind, faithful to that which God hath ordained, bloweth upon all the regions of the earth, be they inhabited or desolate.… It behoveth him [every one that claimeth to be a lover of the one true God] to fix his gaze upon the fundamentals of His Faith, and to labor diligently for its propagation. Wholly for the sake of God he should proclaim His Message, and with that same spirit accept whatever response his words may evoke in his hearer”.

BAHA'U'LLAH, GLEANINGS, CLXI.:2.

spiritual education of children and junior youth

“Our children need to be nurtured spiritually and to be integrated into the life of the Cause. They [children] should not be left to drift in a world so laden with moral dangers. In the current state of society, children face a cruel fate. Millions and millions in country after country are dislocated socially. Children find themselves alienated by parents and other adults whether they live in conditions of wealth or poverty. This alienation has its roots in a selfishness that is born of materialism that is at the core of the godlessness seizing the hearts of people everywhere”.

Universal House of Justice, Ridvan Message, 2000

holding devotional meetings

“Praise be to God, thy heart is engaged in the commemoration of God, thy soul is gladdened by the glad tidings of God and thou art absorbed in prayer. The state of prayer is the best of conditions…. Prayer verily bestoweth life…”.

Abdu’l-Baha

project on strengthening foundations of family life

“My home is the home of peace. My home is the home of joy and delight. My home is the home of laughter and exaltation. Whoever enters through the portals of this home, must go out with gladsome heart. This is the home of light; whoever enters here must become illumined”.

Abdu’l-Baha
