When I became familiar with the exploratory book called the perusal in Bahaism documents written by Dr. Mrs. Ayesheh Bent Al-Shati in the cyberspace, I never thought this famous author who is the interpreter of the holy Quran, the master of literature, potent speaker and the master of universities of Egypt and several Arabic countries has created such exploratory, valuable and marvelous work in this regard and has accessed such a mass texts of this cult and has investigated and criticized the Baha’is with open eyes.
Immediately, a brief text of this detailed book was prepared and published in one of the periodicals in order for the Persian-spoken to be familiar with the exploratory and innovative materials of this virtuous lady whose previous works had been translated into Persian.
This book has been translated into Persian language by the excellent translator called “Maryam Safiuddin”.
It is merited for this well-known lady to be introduced in brief. Dr. Mrs. Bent Al-Shati is of the educated and famous ladies of the Islamic world. Although she was born in Egypt and grown there, but she got famous by exploratory writing and educational activities and works in African and Asian universities.
She received her Ph.D. degree from the university of Cairo when she was 37 years of age and got married with one of her masters. She died at the age of 85. She has written 60 books and hundreds of articles.
Bent Al-Shati became famous by his interpretation book called “the explanatory interpretation of the holy Quran” and made the contemporary generation be familiar with works about the women of the Household of the prophet.
She is the first educated lady who has investigated the topic of Bahaism and has written400-page book in this regard entitled “the perusal in Bahaism documents ” to investigate the roots of the emergence of this group and challenges created by them in Egypt and to criticize their teachings.
However, the detailed introduction: Dr. Ayesheh Abdul Rahman (1331-1419/1913-1998) who elected the name of Bent Al-Shate (the daughter of seaside) for herself. She was an Egyptian author, compiler and researcher in Arabic literature, Quranic sciences, the history of Islam and religious and social religious criticism. She was born in Damietta city in the eastern beach of the Nile. She learnt Arabic literature and the lily Quran by her father who was of the educated of Al-Azhar. She passed her educations in Egyptian schools. She started publishing articles and poems in “Al- Nehzah” magazine and she became as critic of Al-Ahram newspaper.
In 1950 A.D., She received her Ph.D. degree from “Foad I” (the current Cairo university). Her thesis was about “Abul Ala Maari”
More than sixty books and minor and major epistles have remained about the miracle of the holy Quran, interpretation of Arab literature, social issues and the biography of the holy prophet (p. H.) and his wives. One of her important works which caused her to be famous was the book “Al-Ejaz Al-Bayani lel Quran Al-Karim”.
In this book, she investigates the history of discussing about the expressive and rhetorical miracle of the holy Quran and considers it as the mere and most important kind of miracle approved by the scientists. Then she tries to give several examples about the eloquence of the holy Quran to indicate that there isn’t any synonym for the holy Quran lexicon and replacing the words with each other is impossible. All letters possess the meaning role and no extra letter or merely stressed is existent.
A part of Bent Al-Shati’s fame in the Islamic world particularly in Iran is due to her writings about the holy prophet’s (P.H.) life and his wives.
Some of her books are as follows: ” the expressive miracle of the holy Quran”, “the prophet”, “Ameneh, the holy prophet’s mother”, “Zeynab (P.H.), the hero of Karbala”, “Sakineh, the daughter of the Lord of Martyrs” and “the brilliant star of the inspiration land”.
Her position in awakening towards the univesal Zionism and its relationship with Bahaism is really famous that has been explained in her book called “the perusal in Bahaism documents.
The first edition of this book has been published in 1986 A.D./1406 A.H. by Al-Ahram publishing house.
“The author writes about forming the idea of the book in an interesting introduction:
“The title of the subject of our discussion was a series of programs in lunar month of Ramadan called “the crises of religious thought”.
Bahaism proposition is our worry which can be influential on other issues. Previous month, the general thoughts were engaged in capture of the members of Baha’ism assembly. Security organization of Egypt discovered some materials and the public prosecutor accused them with joining a group who were forbidden and illegal in Egypt since 1360 A.H. They had turned against the heavenly religions and joined a creed whose prophet was Bahaullah and their Hajj was tombs in Israel. According to Al-Azhar sheikhs, they are apostates. Al-Azhar issued a commandment and said Bahaism creed is false and is not related to Islam and Judaism and Christianity. Additionally, each Muslim who turns to it, he/she will be apostate and an apostate won’t inherit.
Bahaism didn’t make me busy just because it is a misleading group and organization, but the universal Zionism made and established it to deceive Muslims and the Islamic nation became important for me.
The most dangerous fact is that Bahaism attacks covertly. It resembles drug addiction and preaching it in society.
After the introduction, Bent-Al-Shati enters the subject of the book. In the first chapter, she writes about Babism, Sheikism and the Hayy letters and Qorratul Ein and in the second chapter, the discussion starts with the intellectual invasion of Bahaism which has attacked the general thoughts like cancer.
The third chapter presents Bahaism view concerning the holy Quran and tradition and their role in extensive secularism and their destructive role.
At the end of the book, she commemorates Bahaism as Israeli – Baha’i sedition.
May God bless her.
