The irrational calendar of Baha’ism possesses 9 holidays. The Baha’is have been prevented to do service, aid and security jobs.
In the man-made calendar of the Baha’is, there are nine holidays in which the Baha’is have been prevented to do even the emergency and needed jobs. Its consequence is nothing but chaos. The holidays have been considered just for proselytizing.
The Babi Baha’i leaders have determined the solar calendar as a base and added several irrational and non-practical changes to innovate it. A calendar which wasn’t used by even the leaders and the used by even the leaders and the Baha’ism organization. They have recorded some of their occasions in solar calendar and some in lunar one.[1]
In this new calendar, there are nine forbidden days in which the Baha’is have been prevented to do business and are compulsory and public. These days are anniversaries of events related to known characters of the cult:
۱- Fasting feast (Siyam) is the end of the fasting month of the Baha’is and the beginning of the solar new year (1st of Farvardin, 21st of March)
۲- The first day of Redhvan feast when Hussein Ali Baha claimed for prophethood and the beginning of the Baha’i new year (1st of Ordibehesht, 21st of April)
۳- ۹th day of Hussein Ali Nouri’s claiming for prophethood (9th of Ordibehesht, 29th of April, 1863 A.D.)
۴- ۱۲th day of the forged prophet of Baha’ism’s prophetic mission (12the of Ordibehesht, 2nd of May)
۵- Prophetic mission day of the self-proclaimed prophet of Babism (2nd of Khordad, 23rd of Maym 1844 A.D.)
۶- The day of Baha’s death: (Khordad, 8th; May, 2th)
۷- Bab’s day of being shot (28th of the lunar month of Sha’ban)
۸- Ali Muhammad Bab’s birth day (1st of Moharram 1819 A.H.)
۹- Baha’s birthday (2nd of Moharram, 1817 A.H.)
According to the book Aqdas: “It is not allowable for you to do business, cultivate and … during these 9 days…[۲]” The guardian of the Baha’ism faith says: “Doing business even the reasoned one in day and night are illegitimate…[۳]” He has also said: “You have asked about bakers and butchers who are disciples. It is answered that breaking the limitations and commandments aren’t allowed and there isn’t any exception…[۴]”
Is it rational and logical?!!!
