In the Cycle of Prophecy, all the Prophets (Moses, Jesus, Muhammad) foretold the coming of the Day of God, the Cycle of Fulfillment. Now the new Cycle - the Cycle of Fulfillment - has begun.

Many Baha'is across the world have engaged in 'proof' consultations with others who have not resulted in fruitful discussions because they transformed into argument after argument, often a disaster. We should set our eyes towards the Horizon, the All-Merciful God and meditate more deeply on the Writings of Baha'u'llah. These qualitative teachings and empowerment Baha'u'llah has invested for humanity are truly what the world needs than logical, quantitative proofs. Regardless, it is a great effort exerted to present these correlations. This is why it is recommended to not emphasize a HUGE outlook on specific details of the proofs.

No one is going to argue with you about this. But: quote:"Anbiya inform others of a coming naba. The Qur’an says that the naba is not the Quran itself but that it will come in the future." What you have written here is completely incorrect. 1- 'Anbiya' do not inform others of a coming 'Naba' (or news), rather, 'Anbiya' bring news from God. 2-The quran does not state anywhere that: "the Naba is not the quran itself" and it states no where that:"it will come in the future". What the Quran says is this: 78:1: Of what do they ask one another? 78:2: Of the great news. 78:3: About which they are disagreeing over. 78:4: They shall soon know. 78:5: Verily they shall soon know. Basically, your distorting the meaning of the Quran. This being the basis of your reasoning, be assured that you have also reached a wrong conclusion. Hi,
