Just installing a new Arch based system and as Arch keeps everything up to date and Noto Sans Symbols 2 got updated with the 🟙 Nine Pointed Star this means the #bahai star now works by default on any #ArchLinux system that has a proper Noto fallback chain.
Im #Iran wurden Anisa Samieian und ihr Ehemann Vesal Momtazi, zwei Baha'i, wegen „Propaganda gegen den Staat, Beleidigung des Islam und Vermittlung abweichender, dem Islam widersprechender Überzeugungen“ zu jeweils 3,5 Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt.
Die #Bahai -Gemeinschaft ist eine der am stärksten verfolgten religiösen Minderheiten des Landes.
Show #forbearance and #benevolence and #love to one another. Should any one among you be incapable of grasping a certain truth, or be striving to comprehend it, show forth, when conversing with him, a spirit of extreme #kindliness and #goodwill. Help him to see and recognize the truth, without esteeming yourself to be, in the least, superior to him, or to be possessed of greater endowments.

The #BahaiFast is going all right so far. For those who didn't know, Baha'is between the ages of 15 and 70 refrain from eating and drinking from sunup to sundown. You're exempt if you're sick, travelling, pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating.
Of course, that's the physical side of the fast. The #spiritual—and more important—side of it is detaching ourselves from our desires and abstaining from indulging them, focusing instead on prayer and becoming closer to God. #Bahai#spirituality
