Madame Sana commenced the interview by providing a historical overview of the origins of the Bahá’í faith in Tunisia, tracing it back to the arrival of Muhyi’d-Din al-Kurdi in Tunis in 1921 and the subsequent efforts to disseminate its teachings among the Tunisian youth. She emphasized the fundamental principle of the search for truth, highlighting the importance of individual investigation and conviction in embracing the principles of the faith.
The history of the Tunisian politics gives me the impression that it incorporates a whisper, a hint from the Baha’i religion. When it comes to women’s rights for example, Or In the Code of Personal Status, Tunisia stands out as the only Arab country that has achieved a notable degree of these rights. – Sana Eltaief
