One planet- One God- One peopleTHE BAHAI FAITH UNITE MANKIND
--GOD IS LOVE---
The essence of all religions is Love of God, and it is the foundation of all the sacred teachings
There is nothing greater or more blessed than the Love of God! It gives healing to the sick, balm to the wounded, joy and consolation to the whole world, and through it alone can man attain Life Everlasting
It was the Love of God that led Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that strengthened Joseph in Egypt and gave to Moses courage and patience. Through the Love of God, Christ was sent into the world with His inspiring example of a perfect life of self-sacrifice and devotion, bringing to men the message of Eternal Life It was the Love of God that gave Muhammad power to bring the Arabs from a state of animal degradation to a loftier state of existence. God's Love it was that sustained the Báb and brought him to his supreme sacrifice, and made his bosom the willing target for a thousand bullets.
Finally, it was the Love of God that gave to the East Bahá'u'lláh, and is now sending the light of His teaching far into the West, and from Pole to Pole. ---Abdu'l-Bahá

ISLAMIC PROPHECY CONCERNING BAHA AND AKKA
In Islam there is a 1300 year old prophecy which states:
"Ere long God will shine from the face of the Glory of the most Glorious with the name of Baha on the day of absolute in the plain of Akka."Dala'il'u'l-Irfan
According to this explicit Islamic prophecy,
the Promised One will come to "Akka" and his name will be "Baha" The name Baha means Glory.
So, according to these prophecies, the Promised One with the "new name" of "Baha" will come to "Akka,"
"Mt. Carmel" and the "plain of Sharon". Each of these prophecies, point by point, were explicitly fulfilled by Baha'u'llah.
MESSIAH SUFFERS IN PRISON
Isaiah warned that, just like every other time God has sent his "manifestation" in the past, in this age also (the "last days") there will again be people who will oppose the Messiah when he appears.
Isaiah wrote: "Woe to the rebellious children... that take counsel, but not of me... this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord.
Which say... Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits; Get you out of the way... cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us." -Isaiah 30 (KJV)
When Baha'u'llah began to teach, the rulers and religious leaders opposed him. They caused the "Holy One of Israel to cease from before" them by sending Baha'u'llah to the prison city of Akka in Israel.
The city of Akka, in the middle of the 1800s (at the time when the Jews began to return to Israel) , was the most desolate prison of the Ottoman Empire.
The entire city was a prison. Life there was so disease infested and so harsh that there was a saying that a bird who flew over Akka would die. Similarly, people who were sent to this hellhole usually also died.
Akka was where Isaiah said the "redeemer" would come... apparently as a prisoner.
Isaiah wrote of the treatment that the Messiah would receive in this prison. He wrote: "many were astonished at (him), his visage was so marred." -Isaiah 52 (KJV)" He is despised and rejected of men... he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities... he was taken from prison (Akka) ... for he was cut off out of the land of the living... thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed (his children), he (God) shall prolong his days." -Isaiah 53 (KJV)
According to these passages, the Messiah will suffer greatly in prison... so greatly that his friends and family will be astonished by his bruises, his wounds and his marred appearance.
Isaiah promises, however, that despite his sufferings, the Messiah will live to see his children and that God "shall prolong his days"... the "redeemer" will have a long life.
