Islam and the Bahá’í Faith


The Verb "Akmala"

"Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete [tukmilu]* the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful." - Qur'an 2:185


"And accomplish the pilgrimage and the visit for Allah, but if, you are prevented, (send) whatever offering is easy to obtain, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its destination; but whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head, he (should effect) a compensation by fasting or alms or sacrificing, then when you are secure, whoever profits by combining the visit with the pilgrimage (should take) what offering is easy to obtain; but he who cannot find (any offering) should fast for three days during the pilgrimage and for seven days when you return; these (make) ten (days) complete [kamila]*;" - Qur'an 2:196


"The mothers shall give such to their offspring for two whole [kamilayn]* years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child." - Qur'an 2:233


"Let them bear, on the Day of Judgment, their own burdens in full [kamilatan]*, and also (something) of the burdens of those without knowledge, whom they misled. Alas, how grievous the burdens they will bear!" - Qur'an 16:25


* None of the verbs above (all from the same root KML) convey the meaning of "perfection" in these verses.


“He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body. Haste ye to win your share of God's good grace and mercy in this Day that eclipseth all other created Days. How great the felicity that awaiteth the man that forsaketh all he hath in a desire to obtain the things of God! Such a man, We testify, is among God's blessed ones.”
