Bahá’í Teachings:
The Bahá’í Faith aims to unify humanity.
Bahá'u'lláh said, "Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves
of one branch." Although we differ from one another physically
and emotionally, with different talents and capacities,
we all spring from the same root; we all belong to the same
human family. We should not allow the differences that exist among us to
give rise to conflict and strife. We should see the members of the human
race as beautiful flowers growing in the garden of humanity.

GIVE THANKS
Every breath that we breathe is a
blessing from God and we learn from
the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon
him) to recognize these blessings each
day. The Holy Qur'an tells us how he never
forgot to be thankful to God. He is quoted to have said, "This is
by the grace of my Lord, to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful!
And if any is grateful, it is (a gain) for his own soul; but
if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is free of all needs, supreme in
honor." – The Holy Qur'an, 27:40
Count your blessings every day. For more information about
gratefulness from an Islamic perspective, call 301-982-9463 or
email info@searchislam.org or visit www.searchislam.org.
