Fiḍál (Grace), 18 Qawl (Speech) 176 B.E. - Tuesday, December 10 2019
DAY 2580: December 10 is UN Human Rights Day. This year's theme is "Youth Standing Up For Human Rights". Write something about human rights in your entry today. United Nations Human Rights Day "Baha’u’llah taught that an equal standard of human rights must be recognized and adopted. In the estimation of God all men are equal; there is no distinction or preferment for any soul in the dominion of His justice and equity." On December 24, I will be 73 years old. This makes me two years older than the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Baha'u'llah declared His mission in April of 1863, and I was born in 1946 this makes Baha'u'llah mission and the Baha'i Faith about eighty-three years older than I am. What do the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the Baha'i Faith have in common? Baha'u'llah declared the Oneness of Humanity. All human beings--despite their color, nationality, religion, or gender--are equal in the sight of God. All humans are entitled to the same human rights, which I believe are God given rights. We share the same planet, even if we come form different nations, whose boundaries are established by ourselves rather than God or natural boundaries, such as mountains, rivers, etc. Footnotes |
