The Importance of Asking Questions: To The Bab

The Importance of Asking Questions:
To The Bab

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
Mathew 7:71

Questions is an attribute of the Almighty,
the foundation of the scientific method,
the beginning of the individual's
search for truth.

The first step
to understanding the metaphors,
truths, and subtleties
in the sacred scriptures
is to ask the Lord
for enlightenment
before meditating
on the verses.

To discover the subtleties
of the universe
one must ask questions,
and seek
the answers
without depending
on the opinions of other people.

The Bab
in His tablets and epistles
answered questions,
explaining many
of the intricacies
and obscurities
found in the sacred text.

The Bab
also revealed principles
to live by.

As ordinary human beings
we can only discovers
the solutions to our problems
by asking questions.

Certitude in matters of faith
require us to ask questons.
