According to Edward Brown, Abbas Effendi deprived all the heirs of the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism and kept aloof of his brother Ziaullah and didn’t let his relatives to visit him even at the time of illness to death time. After Ziaullah’s death, Abdul Baha asked his wife for her hand while he was happy with his brother’s death. However because Ziaullha’s wife disagreed with Abdul Baha like her husband, he tried to seek fruition but he failed.[1]
Nevertheless, how is it possible for the Baha’i leaders to call human being to be kind with their enemies alongside with their illegal measures?! Abdul Baha has said to his followers: “O’ God’s party, lest you annoy and make a person unhappy. Don’t speak anybody ironically whether he/she is companion or stranger. Pray for all and ask for forgiveness for all. Caution! Don’t annoy a person whether he/she is malevolent or malefactor[2].”
