The Excellency Muhammad Nouri Zad who has been appreciated by the baha’ism organization has called Baha’ism as one of the Islamic cults and spoken about them to be treated in an unfair manner! However, how can Baha’ism considered as one of the branches of Islam while it introduces itself as an independent religion. Having infidel thoughts, Baha’ism neither sucategory of Islam nor that of divine religions. Anyway, Baha’is are treated fairly according to teachings of Islam.
Muhammad Nouri Zad, the anti-revolution opposition has defended the baha’ism organization for several years aiming being mentioned in the political arenas of the country and among anti-revolutionary people.
He has referred to Baha’ism organization as one of the Islamic religions and said: “Several days ago, I bought a 3-volume book called “the islamic cults”. Nearly 1200 Islamic cults had been collected there. What’s wrong with the Baha’is to be one of these cults. We have left those one thousand and several hudred cults and have bolded our Baha’is.”[1]
Answer:
۱- Baha’ism is a cult splitted from Babism and Baha’ism is branched from Islam. Babism is a cult which considers to possess a new religious law and believes that the Islamic commandments have been abolished and the period of Islam has been finished.”And in each period of time, God has determined a boon and a proof for creatures and says in the year 1270 since the resurrection of Muhammad, the messenger of God, the book, and proof have been put in the seven letters (Ali Muhammad Bab possesses seven letters) and the religion gates were the number 19…[۲]“.
As a branch of Babism, Baha’ism is claiming for a new religion to be brought after Babism which has abolish Bayan commandments: “All the commandments of the book Bayan have been abolished when the Aqdas book was brought… The general reference is the book Aqdas not the Bayan. The commandments of the book Bayan have been abolished. So, the translation of it is vain.[3]”
۲- Not only Baha’ism isnt the sub-branch of islam but also it isnt considered as that of other divine religions: “The holy Quran says:
“ما کانَ مُحَمّدٌ اَبَا اَحَدٍ مِن رِجالِکُم وَ لکِن رَسُولُ اللهِ و خاتَمُ النبیینَ”[الاحزاب/۴۰]
“Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets;…”[Al-Ahzab/40]
On the other side, the infider thought of baha’ism has caused it as a serious barrier to be accepted as a divine religion because the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has interoduced himself as God and called his followers to himself instead of God. As Hussein Ali Nouri has introduced himself as God[4] and the Baha’is are responsible to worship him: “When you want to pray…” See where Hussein Ali is. Pay attention towards him… Before the Blessed Beauty’s death, the Baha’is Kiblah has been the place where the Blessed Beauty was located.[5]”
۳- Contrary to the Excellency Nouri Zad, the Iranian baha’is weren’t tyranized due to their be liefs and according to priciple 14 of the Iranian Constitution, they have been fairly treated as long as they don’t plan againt the system of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.[6]
۴- Consequently, how can people like Nouri Zad defend the infidel thoughts of the forged cult of Baha’ism when they are ignorantabout Baha’ism history. The baha’ism deviant cult has been made to vanish Islam.
