Abstract:

This article criticizes the article "An Overview of Baha'i Society of Iran in the 18th Century" written by Iqan Shahidi. In this regard, the contradictions in speech and behavior of Baha'i leaders and elders and their way of life, which is based on complete contradiction with Baha'i teachings, as well as brief hints about the thoughts and beliefs of Ali Muhammad Báb, Baha'u'llah and `Abdu'l-Bahá regarding the unity of the human world and the search for truth have been made. It has been explained about the footprints of the Baha'is in the critical and decisive moments of Iran's history, such as the Constitution Movement and the hidden role of the Baha'is in the formation of its disturbances, from Bath water pool Movement and the entry of Shower in Iran to examples of the Baha'is' interference in Iran's government since a long time ago. The organizational and organizational nature of Baha'ism, and the oppressive behavior and hatred of Baha'is are also stated. In addition, to the true view of the Baha'i leaders about the equality of men and women, the true causes of the apparently benevolent and philanthropic activities of the Baha'is in the form of education and training, the position of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's explanation and interpretation, the differences of the Baha'is from long ago to the present day, and the main origin of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's Madaniyyah Resaleh book. Shoghi's personality traits and his actions during his leadership have been investigated. It has become clear that Bahá'í is trying with all its might to introduce itself as a progressive religion and Bahá'í missionaries, following their leaders, consider all past religions to be ancient and their religion to be in line with the present and modern times! This claim has been verified by Eric Stetson, one of the Baha'i intellectuals, and according to it, he concludes that the Baha'i religion, contrary to the slogan of its missionaries, is extremely conservative and backward! In general, according to the process of Mr. Shahidi's article, we took a quick look at the historical truth of Baha'ism and talked about the illegitimate nature of justice based on Baha'i texts. In the end, we raised some questions with Mr. Shahidi. What is certain is the existence of the fact that during these years, countless Baha'is have come across lies and contradictions in their religion, which has caused the search for the truth and finally finding the real truth.
