They brought with them the bodily remains of the B\u00e1b which had been smuggled with them throughout their long journey. On one visit to Haifa, Bah\u00e1&#8217;u&#8217;ll\u00e1h indicated the site on the slopes of Mount Carmel where the B\u00e1b should be buried. He also revealed the Tablet of Carmel, outlining the mystical and spiritual significance of Mount Carmel in religious history and for the future of the Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Community. Today, the Shrine of the B\u00e1b is the second most holy site that Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00eds visit on pilgrimage to Haifa (the Shrine of Bah\u00e1&#8217;u&#8217;ll\u00e1h at Bahj\u00ed is the most holy site and the point towards which Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00eds turn when performing their obligatory prayers). The administrative centre of the Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed International Community is also located in the buildings of the Arc on Mount Carmel: The International Teaching Centre, the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, the Centre for the Study of the Texts, and the Baha&#8217;i International Archives.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Scholarship and The Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Faith<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The relationship between academic studies of religion and the Baha&#8217;i Faith is quite unique.

There is a strong practise of Baha&#8217;i Scholarship, but this is defined by the Association for Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Studies as \u201cscholarly activity carried out by members of the Baha&#8217;i community\u201d and often is more concerned with the application of principles of the Faith in other realms of study and academic activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bibliography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBah\u00e1&#8217;u&#8217;ll\u00e1h (1817-1892) &#8212; Founder of the Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Faith\u201d <em>Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Topics <\/em>http:\/\/info.bahai.org\/bahaullah-manifestation-of-god.html<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBasic Teachings of Bah\u00e1&#8217;u&#8217;ll\u00e1h\u201d <em>Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Topics <\/em>http:\/\/info.bahai.org\/bahaullah-basic-teachings.html<\/p>\n<p>Khan, Peter J. \u201cSome Aspects of Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Scholarship.\u201d <em>The Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed World<\/em> (1999-2000): 197-221.<\/p>\n<p>MacEoin, Denis. \u201cMaking the invisible visible: introductory books on the Baha&#8217;i religion (the Baha&#8217;i Faith).\u201d <em>Religion<\/em> 43, no. 2 (2013): 160-177.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe B\u00e1b (1819-1850)\u201d <em>Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Topics <\/em>http:\/\/info.bahai.org\/the-bab-forerunner.html<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed World Centre: Focal Point for a Global Community\u201d <em>Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00ed Topics <\/em>http:\/\/info.bahai.org\/article-1-6-0-5.html<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/studyisrael\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sophie-Crump-The-Bahai-Faith-in-Israel.pdf\"><strong>Download<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baha&#8217;i Faith in Israel \u00a0Key Figures The B\u00e1b (\u201cThe Gate\u201d) &#8211; Born in Persia.
