Justice is being fair in all that we do. We continually look for the truth, not bowing to other\u2019s judgements or perceptions. We do not backbite. We clear up problems face to face. We make agreements that benefit everyone equally. When we commit a wrong, we are honest in correcting it and making amends. If someone is hurting us, it is just to stop them. It is never just for strong people to hurt weaker people. With justice, we protect everyone\u2019s rights. Sometimes when we stand for justice, we stand alone.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 was the eldest Son of Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h.\u00a0He was born in Tehran on May 22, 1844,\u00a0exactly at the same time that The B\u00e1b declaredHis Mission to Mullah Husayn. When\u00a0\u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1 was nine years old, Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h\u00a0was exiled to Baghdad with His family.\u00a0There Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h declared His mission as\u00a0the Promised One. When \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1 learned of His Father\u2019s mission, He joyfully began His lifelong sacrifice for the Cause of Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h.<\/p>\n

Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h was then exiled to Constantinople and Adrianople together with \u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 and the whole family.\u00a0 \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1 won people\u2019s respect in both cities. He helped and taught people through His example. Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h called Him, \u201cThe Master\u201d, as did everyone else. Then Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h and His family were exiled to Akka, the horrible prison city, described as being so foul that birds flying overhead would fall dead out of the sky. \u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 did everything He could to help Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h, including meeting with visitors. Everyone who met \u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 went home very satisfied and came to respect Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h.<\/p>\n

Bah\u00e1’u’ll\u00e1h passed away at the age of 75, and in His will and testament,\u00a0He appointed \u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 as the Interpreter of all His teachings and the Person whom the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed community should obey<\/a>. In 1908, \u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 finally<\/p>\n

became free, and from then, He traveled to the West and to<\/p>\n

\u00a0America, where He addressed audiences and met people<\/p>\n

from various religions, races, and social classes.<\/p>\n

\u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1 is the perfect exemplar of His Father\u2019s<\/p>\n

teachings. The Children\u2019s Class lessons incorporate<\/p>\n

many stories from \u2018Abdu’l-Bah\u00e1\u2019s life, showing His<\/p>\n

outstanding virtues such as love, compassion,<\/p>\n

selflessness, and justice.<\/p>\n

\u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1\u2019s ministry came to a close on 28 November 1921 when, at the age of 77 after a brief illness, His spirit was freed from this earthly existence.<\/span> We are reminded on that occasion how \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1 continued to dedicate His energies to the promotion of His Father\u2019s Cause until the very end of His life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Shoghi Effendi then describes for us in some detail the events that followed as news of \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1\u2019s sudden and unexpected passing spread throughout the city and across the globe. No less than ten thousand people assembled on Tuesday morning for the funeral procession\u2014 among them Muslims, Jews, Christians, and Druzes; Egyptians, Greeks, Turks, Arabs, and Kurds; Europeans and Americans; men, women, and children; government officials, diplomats, and notables of various kinds. Together, in a sign of admiration and respect, they made their way behind the coffin containing the remains of \u2018Abdu\u2019l-Bah\u00e1 as it was carried on the shoulders of His loved ones up the slopes of Mount Carmel to the mausoleum of the B\u00e1b. Following a simple ceremony close to the eastern entrance of the Shrine, the coffin was taken to one of its chambers, where it was lowered into its resting-place.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Story – <\/em><\/strong>Smells and Jingles<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s learn from the story! What is justice in this story?<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

    In old Japan, there lived an old woman who loved to<\/p>\n

    eat broiled eels.\u00a0 And how lucky for her, for she<\/p>\n

    lived next door to the eel-seller\u2019s shop.<\/p>\n

    During the night, the eel-seller caught his eels,<\/p>\n

    and in the daytime, he served them, smoking hot,<\/p>\n

    to his customers.\u00a0 He cut the eels into pieces three or four inches long and cooked them on a griddle over red hot charcoal until they were ready to eat.<\/p>\n

    Although she dearly loved eels, the old woman could not<\/p>\n

    \u00a0afford to buy them as often as she liked, and when she<\/p>\n

    was short of money, she would take her bowl of rice and<\/p>\n

    sit close to her neighbor\u2019s door. Eating her boiled rice,<\/p>\n

    \u00a0and sniffing the aroma of the broiled eels, she enjoyed<\/p>\n

    with her nose what she could not pay for to put in her mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    When the eel-seller found this out, he became quite angry and thought he would charge his neighbor for the smell of the eels.\u00a0 So, he made out his bill and presented it gruffly to the old woman.<\/p>\n

    But she only smiled.\u00a0 She brought out her iron<\/p>\n

    moneybox, which at that time was nearly empty.<\/p>\n

    But it doesn\u2019t take many coins in a moneybox to<\/p>\n

    make a good jingle. The woman shook the moneybox in the eel-seller\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Did you hear that, neighbor?\u2019\u00a0 \u2018Indeed, I did!\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Then we are even,\u2019 said the woman, with a bow.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0 \u2018What?\u2019 cried the eel-seller.\u00a0 \u2018Aren\u2019t you going to pay me?\u2019<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0 \u2018I have paid you,\u2019 said the woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u2018You have charged me for the smell of eels, and I have<\/p>\n

    paid you with the sound of money.<\/p>\n

    The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0therefrom if thou desirest\u00a0Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Set it then before thine eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cThe Hidden Words of Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I think “justice” is a very difficult virtue. If children ask you what is “justice”, can we give them an appropriate answer? It is not important to give the correct answer, so why not explore with your child? May this issue of Hiru no Hoshi will give you a hint. May the above words of Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h be the foundation of thinking for both parents and children alike.<\/p>\n

    Greetings from the Hiru no Hoshi Committee<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Hello, I am Akiko Hijino. Currently, I am struggling to raise three children (4 years old, 3 years old, 10 months old). I have a lot of ideals in my head (“I like this when raising children, and I want to do it like this”), but every day I fall into the gap between my ideals and my reality. The quote above expresses the ideal of the way I want my children to be as human beings, but if I want my children to be like this, I have to do it myself first. I have to become a better person. Through Hiru no Hoshi, I would like to share my thoughts about child-rearing with everyone and also learn prospectives other than my own from the readers. I am looking forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n

    Q<\/strong>\uff06<\/strong>A<\/strong><\/h1>\n

    \u2606<\/strong> What about Christmas celebrations and Christmas gifts at your home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0How do you tell your children about Santa Claus?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \u2015When my children were small, I would explain to them Santa Claus was<\/p>\n

    the \u201cSpirit of Giving\u201d and Christmas is the celebration of the Birthday<\/p>\n

    of Christ; when Wise men and shepherds, rich and poor gave to the Baby Jesus.<\/p>\n

    This too is the \u201cSpirit of Giving!\u201d So we should not think about what we can<\/p>\n

    get for Christmas, or anytime\u2026but what we can give!!\u00a0 Also, all the Teachers<\/p>\n

    from God, were born at some time, not just Jesus\u2026Buddha, Moses, Muhammed,<\/p>\n

    \u00a0Bah\u00e1\u2019u\u2019ll\u00e1h\u2026and many more! We can\u2019t celebrate all of Their Birthdays, or<\/p>\n

    we would be always celebrating!!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \u2015They may have friends who believe in Santa Claus in kindergarten or school, so I try not to say “he does not exist”. I try to talk about who is Santa Claus and what Christmas is. \u00a0Most importantly, to not to focus on getting presents!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \u2015I tell my children about Ayy\u00e1m-i-H\u00e1, (Intercalary Days in the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed calender); that it is for giving presents and having fun!!<\/p>\n
