The Rahnami
Rahnami is the word “first given” to the first inhabitants of Naurrnen. The way the word is pronounced today in the languages of Naurrnen are all similar. But there was a copy of the Rahnami written in each of the indegeneous languages.
Principles of the Rahnami
The first Rahnami is that for love. Love is Rahnami and Rahnami love.
Rahnami for others. Rahnami is something that multiplies as it is spent. So always give Rahnami, so that Rahnami will increase.
Rahnami is mercy. Before confronting the evil outside, confront the evil in inside. Fix the lack of Rahnami in yourself, and then, and only then can you confront the evil outside. If you want a second chance, give it freely. If you want third, fourth, fifth chance, give it freely. You cannot understand the poverty out there, without first confronting the poverty in here.
Rahnami is just. But it is mercy first, and foremost, or it is not just at all.
