Due to its organizational nature, Bahaism can’t be considered as religious belief. As a matter of fact, the weakness in its theological structure has been too problematic for its head and followers that it has tried to make antecedent for itself and to trim its fundamental contradictions.
Anyway, the most central belief of this mentioned creed is being the unique way of tranquility and having mental disturbance for universal development like other sectarian movements.
It is stressed that Bahaism considers other religions and theological belief particularly Islam as abolished and null and also stands against it.
This issue has always been stressed and executed in primary resources of speech and instruction of the head and messages of the universal house of justice.
Meantime, the Sunni viewpoint and approach of Sunnis and Shias must be paid attention particularly this fact that Sunnis and Shias have the same position towards Bahaism and have expressed their views based on expediency differently from the past till now.
Most Arabic scholars, thinkers and Sunnis in Iran have opposed Bahaism issue and have discussed the ominous consequences of the emergence of this cult in their scientific, research and analytical works investigating the roots and background of this cult. They have even proved Bahaism attribution to colonialism and international Zionism in various works investigating historical documents.
The books are as follows:
The book “The deviant Bahaism, the roots and deviations” by “Sheikh Rashed ibn Abdul Moa’ti ibn Mahifouz” (one of Al-Azhar scholars), the book Bahaism one of colonialism and Zionism means” by “Abdul Qader Shabih Al-Hamd” and the book “the Bahaism” by “Sheikh A.D. Talát Zahran Al-Eskandari” and also the book Bahaism sedition, its history, its bake and Islam’s commandment about it “by Abi Hafs Ahmad ibn Abdul Islam Al-Eskandari”.
The contemporary Juris consults have mentioned Bahaism danger firmly and frankly in their judgments and have stressed on cooperating and interacting with them as illegitimate. The present article has pointed out some of these positions.
The axis of Sunnis judgements concerning Bahaism:
The contemporary judgment in the Islamic countries concerning Bahaism cult can be summarized generally as follows:
The acceptance the beliefs of the deviant cult of Bahaism is accompanied by negating the necessities of the religion of Islam, so accepting these beliefs is considered as apostasy from Islam and each Muslim who joins this deviant population is apostate.
It is illegitimate for Muslims to get married with the followers of this cult.
Bahaism is of the barriers of heritage; that is Muslims and Baha’is can’t inherit each other due to the religion difference.
The dead bodies of the fallowers of the deviant cult won’t be buried in Muslims’ graveyards.
Several judgements of Sunnis concerning Bahaism cult are as follows:
“Muhammad Seyyed Al-Tantavi” (Al-Azhar Sheikh)
The Egyptian Baha’is are out of Islam do main and are also out of the teachings of other divine religions. This deviant group must not inject their venom into the Islamic community. Bahaism is completely against Islam and it is not true of anybody to consider Bahaism as religion because Bahaism is out of the territory of Islam and teachings of other divine religions.”
Darul Eftiya of Al- Azhar university judgement:
“In the name of Allah and praise is due to Allah and peace be upon the messenger of Allah and then: Bahaism is a cult and an apostate group of Islam. It is not true to believe in it and cooperate with it and its population and institutes created by it must be ignored because it has not been created based on divine belief and legislation, so the Islamic discussions assembly at Sheikh Jadul Hagh is issuing this judgement and the current assembly is confirming it.”
“Ali Judu Hagh” (the head of previous periods of time of Al-Azhar university):
“Babism and Bahaism are thoughts which have been created due to the mixture of philosophies and religions without having new thing needed by the Islamic nation to reform its conditions in all problems; but in fact, it is something which is formed to serve Zionism and colonialism and is a collection of thoughts and a forged religion by which the nation is being tested. It is announcing war against Islam by the name if religion.”
“Taha Mowlavi ” (Muslim historian)
“While Muslim scholars cursed Bahaism, Judaism preached it, why? Because Bahaism attacks Islam and claims for Islam’s periods of time to be expired and tries to plant the seed of its false religion which is the mixture of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and idolatry.
“Khalid Muhammad Khalid” (the prominent Islamic thinker):
“Based on my studios on Bahaism, I figured out the ugly figure of this creed. Late Imam Sheikh Muhammad Al-Khezr Hussein had a deep and extensive knowledge about this cult. He has said giving an example: ” This cult war excommunicated from Islam, but its followers are claiming for their attempts to related to the holy prophet’s prophetic mission and even they reject the prophets’ miracles for being illogical. They have rejected the day of judgment, Kaaba [Hajj rituals] and they are even determined to destroy Kaaba. This group is all apostate. Bahaism is an intellectual innovation following some political aims, so it is a deceptive creed. “
“Muhammad Rashid Reza” (the Egyptian Islamic thinker, the editor-in-chief of Manarul Islam leaflet)
“Bahaism was formed based on Babism, both of which were founded on the basis of falsehood. Consequently, how is a Muslim expected to accept Babism and Bahaism while it attributes divine features to human being. Bahaism is one of dangerous creed and possesses anti- Islamic philosophy. It is a cult in which the Jewish play key role.”
Dr. Muhammad Naser” (the author):
“The Baha’is say the reason for the expansion of invitation has been the influence of his words which has been fulfilled free from each kind of political hidden relationship, but by the divine will. Such logic is in fact due to the Bahais selfishness and is a clear mistake. In all of their fields, the Baha’is have been repulsed except for the case where Imperialism and Zionism have supported them to preserve their interests.”
“Hajj Mohiyeddin Akhond Ahmadi” (the leader of Friday prayer of Sunnis of “Kalaleh” city):
The faith principles are 7. Believing in Allah, angels, the heavenly books, prophets, the day of judgment, divine destiny and resurrection. Everybody who doesn’t believe in these seven principles is infidel and can’t be faithful. God says in the holy Quran:
” انما المشركين نجس “
and considers the Baha’is as tie spiritual ordure.”
“Hajj Mahammad Amin Akhond Safari” (the lender of Friday prayer of Sunnis of Faraghi” city):
“According to verses 150 and 152 of Nesa’ chapter: Everybody who rejects the prophetic mission of the holy prophet (P.H.) and is active in abrogation of Islam and the holy Quran – such as the deviant cult of Bahaism- is infidel. He/she must be avoided. If they are active against Islam and invite Muslims to the false belief of deviant cut of Bahaism, this cult will be considered as infidels pertaining to war.
It is necessary for Muslims to cut their relationships with infidels and to dismiss the workers and employees of this cult in the Islamic countries in order not to help blasphemy against Islam and this kind of holy war is for the superiority of Islam and humbleness of blasphemy. Not to have any social intercourse with this cult which is the enemy’s eye among Muslims.”
“Muhammad Ashraf Ilbeigi” (the secretary of supreme council of judgments in Kurdistan province confirmed by “Faegh Rostami”, the leader of Friday prayer in Sanandaj):
“Rejecting each of religion necessities including rejecting the day of judgment, rejecting the prophethood of the holy prophet (P.H.) or rejecting the holy Quran as being heavenly are blasphemy and all Islamic cults and religions agree on this issue…
The Islamic government is responsible for preventing the overt and covert activities of the followers of non-Muslim cults which are preaching their religions and beliefs and creating weakness and insulting in the Islamic beliefs…
