Although the Bahāʾī Faith was born in a Shīʿī Islamic cultural milieu it has clearly gone beyond the “gravitational pull” of Islām and assumed a distinctive social, scriptural, and religious identity. Bahāʾīs revere Islām as “the source and background of their Faith” and consider the Qurʾān the only authentic, uncorrupted scripture apart from their own. However, Bahāʾī teachings insist that this new religious movement is more than a sectarian development. It represents a distinctive—if you will “autonomous”—religious dispensation along the lines of the development of Christianity out of its original Jewish setting. This assertion and trajectory is clear in the very earliest scriptures of the new religion revealed by the Bāb and runs through subsequent Bahāʾī writings. A key term, badīʿ , used dozens of times by the Bāb in his annunciatory composition, the Qayyūm al-Asmāʾ), denotes this sense of the “wondrously new”, something that is simultaneously ancient and unprecedented. It is suggested here that this term is a central and pivotal idea in the Bāb’s vision and that it had a major role in generating the imaginative and kerygmatic cultural energy that would eventually result in the above-mentioned escape from an Islamic orbit. The word badīʿ eventually acquires a life of its own in Bahāʾī thought and practice. It is the word used to designate the new calendar whose current year is 180 B.E., “Bahāʾī Era” or “Badīʿ Era”. It is used in the title of one of Bahāʾuʾllāh’s major books, the Kitāb-i Badāʿ . It is given as a name for one of the young heroes of the Bahāʾī Faith who was tortured and killed because he dared to attempt to communicate directly with the Shah of Iran to testify to the truth of Bahāʾuʾllāh’s mission. It is a word encountered frequently throughout the Bahāʾī writings and translated various ways. It functions as an emblem and symbol of the Bahāʾī ethos and message. The main focus here is the Qayyūm al-Asmāʾ, the Bāb’s proclamatory summons, disguised as a Qurʾān commentary, in which he claimed to be in immediate and intimate contact with the hidden Imām and, therefore, the centre of all authority (walāya) whether political or spiritual. The clarion message of the Qayyūm al-Asmāʾ), in which the much repeated Arabic word badīʿ is a powerful and vibrant symbol of “the new”, is that a profound and radical covenantal renewal—as distinct from “revivification/tajdīd”—is at hand, a renewal that would evolve into a distinctive Bahāʾī communal identity that is simultaneously—and therefore wondrously—new and primordial.
Masters of the Steppe: The Impact of the Scythians and Later Nomad Societies of Eurasia
Etched or bleached? Traded or copied? Comments on the dating and distribution of a distinctive type of decorated carnelian bead found from India to Eurasia from the early 1st millennium BC to the early medieval period2020 •
The term bleached carnelian bead replaces the term etched carnelian bead, and the production of these began in the Indus Valley in the third millennium BC. There have been many studies of these, but very little attention has been paid to later beads of this type. The dating and distribution of these from the Near East, Caucasus, Central Asia and the Eurasian steppe is reviewed here.
Objective: The Big Five traits describe aspects of personality that are remarkably consistent, especially among adults. An acronym for remembering these factors can be formed by rearranging the first letters of each factor to form the word OCEAN. The present study examined to study the big five personality factors among physical education and non-physical education teacher's effect of gender and faculty on suicidal tendency among students. Method: The present study consists of 40 male teachers, 20 physical education teachers and 20 non physical education teachers randomly selected in different high schools in Rewa District. Dr Tom Buchanan's Big Five Personality Inventory was used for data collection. Results: The findings of the present study demonstrated that there is no significant difference between Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness of physical education and non-physical education teachers. Conclusions: There is no significant difference between the big five personality factors among physical education and non-physical education teachers.
Bu makale son yıllarda akademik ve siyasal alanlarda adından söz ettiren bir güç kavramsallaştırması olan yumuşak güç üzerinedir. Makalede ilk olarak kavramın yaratıcısı Joseph S. Nye’ın görüşlerinden yola çıkılarak yumuşak gücün kuramsal temelleri hakkında bilgi verilecektir. Daha sonra yumuşak gücün ölçülebilirliği tartışması ile ilgili bir çözümlemeye girişilecek, ölçülebilirlik sorununa çözüm bulma denemeleri örneklendirilecektir. Bu kapsamda, yalnızca kamuoyu araştırmasına dayanan, yalnızca nicel verilere dayanan ve her ikisini bütünleme yolunu seçen denemelerin ölçülebilirlik sorununa çözüm bulmadaki başarı düzeyleri çözümlenecektir. Böylelikle yumuşak gücün bir “analiz kategorisi” olarak kullanılıp kullanılamayacağı sorusuna da cevap aranacaktır.
