Some teachings and characteristics shared between Bahaism and Masonry

      Bahaism cult possesses principles, teachings and regulations which are quite similar to Masonry ones. These common features and aims strengthen this thesis that both are made by colonialism as a means for the international Zionism.

      Some common characteristic are as follows:

      – Believing in the mixed god

      – Making bondman free from commandments and morality

      – Cosmopolitan

      – Sacredness of Jewish lands, numbers and signals

      – Being against Islam and Christianity

      – Claiming for not meddling with the political affairs

      – The equality between men and women’s rights

      – The oneness of language, religions [8] and etc.

      Due to these common characteristics, many Baha’is have been active in masonry lodges and are busy executing hidden plans of Judaism in the form of masonry organization.

      Here, we are not going to state rejection and criticism of these principles, but some examples are mentioned.

 

      The organization of the universal house of justice of Bahaism:

      The universal house of justice is the administrative organization managing Bahaism. It is responsible for the right of legislating commandments managing the Baha’is affairs across the world. It is located in Haifa, Israel. This administrative organization and its establishment is quite similar to the organization of Christianity creed and its spiritual degrees are quite similar to masonry and Ismaeelieh ones. “Von Hammer” the author of the book “the history of Ismaeelieh” writes: “Rates of prayer, friends and devotees in Ismaeelieh population are exactly including three levels in free builder organization and also including builder and pupil masters of this profession and the beginner youth.”[۱] [9]

      Yousof Fazaee says:

      “The administrative and religious organizations of Baha creed are really similar to the Christianity religion ones and its spiritual degrees quite look like Ismaeelieh religion ones. As Pope is located at the top and the priests’ degrees are lower than the Pope, the organization and the churches of cities respectively from top to down.

      The organization of claimants, proselytizers and assemblies of Baha creed has such system. The degrees of claimants and the duties of each of them in Bahaism are similar to Ismaeelieh’s ones and each of them are to some extent allowable. They invite and proselytize and the lower degrees must obey the upper ones…

      The Baha’is wish for the universal house of justice to govern on all nations and governments one day and to guarantee peaceful life and to perform the oneness of culture, policy, religion and language.”[۲] [10]

      The Bahaism organization as a political one is similar to masonry organization and the style and method of its administration is similar to Zionistic population whose secrets are even hidden for their followers.

      As a matter of fact, the universal organization of Bahaism is based on teachings, traditions and symbols of Jewish tribe and it has obeyed the masonry organization locally, nationally, regionally and universally.

 

      The emblems in Bahaism and Masonry:

      Star which is of the symbols of Judaism and Freemasonries is holy to the Babis and the Baha’is. The Baha’is consider star of David as the greatest name and wear it in neck and arm as blessing.

      Also, the special symbol of the Baha’is is the nine-pointed star which is formed by three triangles and is really similar to nine-pointed star of (Ars Brevis) which is existent in paintings of Kabbalistic style called Lullism. Also, the special emblem of 33 degrees in Freemasonry which is the highest degree of the lodge includes pointed star symbol.

    

      Removing each kind of prejudices in Bahaism and freemasonry:

      One of the 12 principles of Bahaism is removing all prejudices that means leaving prejudices such as racial, religious, national, political and etc.

      Abbas Effendi is repeatedly announcing in his speech traveling to America that each kind of religious, political and even native prejudice destroy human’s basis and the humane world won’t advance with it. So, these prejudices mast be removed.

      This Baha’i leader says describing so-called prejudices of Baha’s follower:

      “[They] don’t have prejudices. They don’t have religious prejudices. They don’t have sexual prejudices. They don’t have native prejudices. They don’t have political prejudices. They don’t have lingual prejudices. They are free from all these prejudices. They consider the earth as one homeland and all human beings as a nation… Thus, they are kind with all human beings…”

      In another place, Abdul Baha [11] says answering a person: “Kingdom doesn’t belong to special population. You may be a Christian Baha’i or a masonry Baha’i or Jewish Baha’i or Muslim Baha’i.” He stresses on removing religious prejudices using this answer.

      Masons have a kind of tolerance and leniency towards religions and just believing in God is important for them aren’t bond with any special religion.

      Also; according to their beliefs, people are free in policy and to accept the members in masonry lodges, they pay attention to free policy and stipulate they avoid prejudices.

 

      The oneness of religions in Bahaism and Masonry:

      One of the other principles of Bahaism is the oneness of religions, but according to Baha’is speech, this slogan doesn’t mean gathering of religions and oneness of them, but their aim is setting them aside and removing all religions and establishing a new religion which can be replaced by ex-religions; that is, Bahaism.

      Abdul Baha says all religions’ basis is heavenly even Magi and for this reason Muslims confess Jesus and Moses and the Christian confess Moses. So, unity among them is an easy issue and people can turn to Bahaism keeping their main religions.

 

      The oneness of language in Bahaism and Freemasonry:

      One of the principles of Baha’ism is selecting international handwriting and language.

      Abdul Baha says: “The variety of languages is of the most important means of difference among the European nations. Although they are attributed to one nation, but the difference of languages is of the greatest barriers of unity among them… They will be united if they have one language.”

      According to Baha’is, this general language is “English language”.

      Masons believe in a general language among different languages that is English is the formal language of Masons.

 

      Not meddling with policy in Bahaism and Freemasonry:

      One of the other principles accepted by Bahaism is not meddling with policy and obeying the government mentioned very much in Baha’i books.

      Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri writes in the book “Aghdas”: “Nobody is allowed to oppose those who rule people. Leave them alone with what they have and pay attention to hearts.”

      “The criterion for being a Baha’i or not is that everybody who meddles with the political affairs and say a word out of his/her duty is the reason for him/her for not to be Baha’i and it doesn’t need other reason.”

      Freemasons are severely stressing on secularism and reject each kind of meddling with policy.

      Consequently, the brief investigation of the history of these two cults indicates that both groups possess quite political aims and functions and their activities are in the direction of supporting colonialism and Zionism.
