The forged prophet of Baha’ism has announced in the book Aqdas that one of Bab’s commandments (concerning the punishment of paying 19 methqal gold for making people unhappy) as abolished. However, why didn’t Ali Muhammad Bab.
Shrink for making them sad while he had ordered for his opponents to be massacred?
The forged prophet of Baha’ism has written about one of the commandments of Ali Muhammad Shirazi concerning breaking hearts:
“قد منعتم فی الکتاب من الجدال و النزاع و الضرب و امثالها عما تحزن به الافئده و القلوب منا یحزن احداً فله ان ینفق تسعه عشر مثقالاً من الذهب هذا ما حکم به مولی العالمین”[۱]
“You have been prevented fighting and making hearts sad in the book. A person who makes the other sad must pay 19 methqal gold. This is the verdict by the guardian of the worlds.
He continued to abolish this verdict of the leader of Baha’ism and wrote:
“انه قد عفا ذلک عنکم فی الظهور و یو صیکم بالبر و االتقوی امراً من عنده هذا اللوح المنیر”[۲]
Surely, you have been quitted in Baha’ism and I recommend you to do good and be pious. An order from him in this bright tablet.”
The criticism of this part of the book Aqdas:
- The fulfillment of this commandment will be problematic because sadness is a conscientious issue; so this commandment forged by Babism and Baha’ism leader isn’t practical and it is just proselytizing.
- Ali Muhammad Bab as the leader of Baha’ism has appointed a punishment for making people sad while he has ordered his opponents to be massacred. This is a contradiction.
- Ali Muhammad Bab dismissed the Iranian opponents out of the Iranian lands such as Azerbaijan, Khorasan, Mazandaran, Fars and Iraq and ordered for massacre, burning books and destroying tombs[3]. Hasn’t he thought that the Iranian are being made sad!
