Some Answered Questions is a book written by Abdul-Baha, the son of the founder of the Baha'i faith, Baha'u'llah. The book is a compilation of his responses to questions posed by a French diplomat, Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney, during his visit to Palestine in 1908. The questions cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the purpose of life, the role of religion, the afterlife, and the relationship between science and religion.Abdul-Baha's answers are based on the teachings of the Baha'i faith, which emphasizes the unity of all religions and the importance of spiritual and moral development. He explains the Baha'i view of God as an unknowable essence that is reflected in the diverse manifestations of the divine throughout history, including the prophets and messengers of various religions.Throughout the book, Abdul-Baha emphasizes the importance of unity, both within the Baha'i community and among all people. He encourages readers to strive for a balance between material and spiritual pursuits, and to cultivate virtues such as love, compassion, and justice.Some Answered Questions is considered a foundational text of the Baha'i faith and has been translated into numerous languages. It is widely read by Baha'is and non-Baha'is alike as a source of spiritual guidance and insight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
