The Story of Ridvan (Baha'i Faith Holy Festival) عید اعظم رضوان مبارک

For more information about the Baha'i Faith, please visit www.bahai.org This video is about the joyous Festival of Ridvan, which occurs annually for a 12 day period at the end of April and beginning of May, marking the most holy Baha'i Festival, whereby Baha'i communities around the world celebrate the momentous anniversary of the 12 days in which Baha'u'llah spent in 1863 in a garden along the Tigris River in Baghdad, called the Garden of Najibbiyyih, or The Garden of Ridvan. While the Baha’i festival of Ridvan lasts for 12 days, three of those days are particularly important: the first, ninth, and twelfth. Shortly after hazrate Baha'u'llah had been released from the Siyah Chal prison in Tehran and following the martyrdom of hazrate Bab and rampant persecution of the Babis, Baha'u'llah and His family were banished from their native land of Persia, exiled to Baghdad in the bitter winters' cold of December 1853 by the Iranian government, whose clergy and government officials felt increasingly threatened by Baha'u'llah's divine station as the new Messenger of God and of His spiritual influence amongst citizens. It took Bahaullah, His family, and group of followers approximately 3 months to reach Baghdad in the harsh winter conditions. The journey required them to cross the Iranian Plateau and the Zagros Mountains. It was in the very Garden of Ridvan that Baha'u'llah announced to the friends gathered around Him that He was the Messenger of God for a new age, as had been foretold in previous religious scriptures. Bahaullah referred to the Garden of Najibbiyih as "Ridvan," meaning "paradise." During this holy period, Bahaullah also proclaimed the foundational spiritual principles that form the core of His teachings, emphasizing the beginning of a new stage in the evolution of the life of humanity, characterized by peace and unity and an end to violence. 1st Day of Ridvan Bahá'u'lláh revealed the Tablet of Ridvan (Lawh-i-Ridvan) in 1863, during the first day of Ridván, in the Garden of Ridván. In the beautiful Tablet, Bahaullah begins by saying "The Divine Springtime is come, O Most Exalted Pen, for the Festival of the All-Merciful is fast approaching. Bestir thyself, and magnify, before the entire creation, the name of God, and celebrate His praise, in such wise that all created things may be regenerated and made new. Speak, and hold not thy peace." The 1st day commemorates the Declaration of Baha’u’llah as a Manifestation of God. On this day that Baha’u’llah shared three significant teachings. He condemned religious wars, declared that there would not be another Manifestation of God for 1,000 years, and affirmed that all the names of God were fully manifested in all things. The day holds special significance in the Baha’i Faith as a reminder of its founding principles and teachings. 9th Day of Ridvan On the ninth day, the flooding Tigris receded enough for Baha’u’llah’s family to cross the river and join him in the garden. The reunion of Baha’u’llah and His family is symbolic of unity and love and it inspires the Baha’i community to celebrate the Ridvan Festival with a spirit of joy. 12th Day of Ridvan During Baha'u'llah's ten-year residence in the city, He revitalized the disheartened community and touched the lives of many with His lofty, divine, spiritual, and loving character. However, the Shah’s regime, fearing the resurgence of the new religion’s popularity, urged the Ottoman authorities to exile Baha’u’llah even farther away. The Ottoman government, pressured by the Persian government, once again set out to exile Baha'u'llah (this time to Constantinople, located in modern day Istanbul). When news of Baha’u’llah’s second exile reached the community, it caused immense sadness. Many of His admirers (ranging from government officials to regular citizens) in Baghdad visited Bahaullah in the Garden of Ridvan to bid Him farewell. The 12th day commemorates the exile of Baha’u’llah, his family, and several followers to Constantinople. The journey started on May 3, 1863. Although this exile would lead to imprisonment, sickness, and hardship, it would also lead to the growth and spread of Baha’u’llah’s teachings. Baha’is celebrate this day as the beginning of the Bahai Faith and as a symbol of renewal, peace, and Baha’u’llah’s vision of unity and progress for all people. #bahaifaith #bahai #spiritual #spirituality #faith #religion #ridvan #rizvan #redwan #ridwan #rezvan #god #garden #festival #holy #بهایی #دین #رضوان #عید #عیدرضوان #روحانی #خدا #دیانتـبهایی عید رضوان مبارک (دیانت بهایی)
