The Baha’ism organization has declared that the reason for transferring the reminders of Abdul Baha’s dead body to Acre city and building a new resting place for him in this city is his attachment to this city, serving his people and making him known for the people of the city while Abdul Baha wasn’t attached to Acre and served the occupiers instead of his people and hid his beliefs in Palestine regions to the end of his lifetime!
The Baha’ism organization declared: “The Excellency Abdul Baha resided in Acre for several decades. He entered into the city along with his father, the Excellency Bahaullah as a prisoner and the one who had been exiled. He assumed this city as his house although he had suffered from unpleasant events in Acre. He served his people particularly the por. After the passage of time, he was known across the region and was respected.[1]”
Answer:
۱- Contrary to the claim by the Baha’i leaders, Abdul Baha didn’t have good memoirs of this city and called the city Acre as the greatest prison! He has written: “After a while he was imprisoned in the greatest prison and became oppressed for nearly 25 years in that prison.[2]”
۲- Abdul Baha didn’t serve his people, but he provided provisions for the aggressive army of England to provide facilities for occupying Acre as a great betrayal to this region, the Ottoman government and the Islamic world.
۳- Contrary to Baha’ism organization, Abdul Baha wasn’t known in Acre and respected. He was continually foisted himself as a Muslim to such an extent that the guardian of the Baha’ism faith has confessed that Abdul Baha was participating at Muslims’ group prayers till his last Friday of his lifetime[3].
