We asked the Baha’is [1]: Each prophet has testified and promised the previous one. Which of the divine prophet has promised the emergence of your self-proclaimed prophet.
They answered back: Each previous prophet has announced the emergence of the next prophet. However, these news resemble to subtle hints. For this reason, many Jewish people have remained on their religion and didn’t believe in the emergence of Jewish Christ or billions Christian people are waiting for the emergence of the next prophet and haven’t turned to the Excellency Muhammad.
On the other hand, if the news was clear and obvious; now for instance, the Christians must believe in Islam.
Anyway, there are good news and hints in the previous holy books that are as follows:
In the book “Dinkard” (one of the famous books of the Zoroastrians page 185, it is stated: “When one thousand and two hundred and some pass from the Arabic creed, Houshidar Mah will be kindled as prophet.”
As it is clear, the Arabic creed mean the religion of Islam and the emergence of the Excellency Bab [2] has happened 1260 years after the holy prophet’s hijra. Meanwhile, Houshidar means the door of intelligence which is the equivalent of the Arabic phrase Babul Elm, the gate of science.
In the book the school of religion it is narrated (one of the other Zoroastrian books) that the Excellency Zoroaster has stated: “After the victory of Arabic God will provoke a great man from Iran to gather the world people to theolatry from the east to the west.”
According to Baha’is, the victory of Arabs means Arabs’ attack to Iran and their dominance on this land. A great man from Iran means the Excellency Bahaullah [3] whose family relation goes back to Sasanian kings.”
Before criticizing this Baha’is illusion, it is necessary for a note to be mentioned that basically by investigating the history of Zoroastrian creed and its thought and beliefs, Zoroastrian creed can be compared with a really misgiven political cult which is providing the purposes of the British Colonialism. The Zoroastrian creed is based on a moral slogan (good speech, good though, good deed), while Baha’ism has presented the word terrorism and eliminating its opponents at first. Hoe is possible for a creed which is stressing on morality confirms the terroristic Baha’ism thought!
The Answer To the Baha’is Claims:
- The sources attributed by the Baha’is aren’t valid based on documents. The Baha’is must first prove the validity of these books and then attribute to them.
- According to the Zoroastrian teachings, Houshidar is the first Savior of the Zoroastrians not a prophet. Also, if you refer to the historical books, you will figure out that one o0f the reasons for accepting the religion of Islam by the Iranian people was that they consider the Muslim prophet as their savior. So, they obeyed the Islamic teachings.
- Supposing we accept Houshidar as the gate of science. Bahaullah himself accepted himself as the gate of science, but according to traditions narrated by the holy prophet, The Excellency Ali Ibn Abu Talib has been the gate of science:
