Contrary to the clear texts of the divine books, logical principles and even the slogan of Baha’ism creed concerning the prohibition of interpretation, the Excellency Abdul Baha has rejected the adventure of the Excellency Adam and Eve!:
“If this tale is considered as figured out by the public superficially, it will end in strangeness and wisdom won’t accept it because such addressing and reproofing is unlikely by an intelligent person., how about the Excellency divinity… So, the tale of Adam and Eve and eating the forbidden fruit and dismissing from the heaven are all secret and are of the divine secrets.[1]”
Answering to the denial of the adventure of Adam and Eve dismissing from the paradise
- The Almighty God has clearly pointed out the adventure of the Excellency Adam and Eve and their dismissal from the paradise:
“وَ اِذْ قُلْنا لِلْمَلائِکَهِ اسْجُدُوا لآدم…” (بقره/ ۳۴-۳۷)
“And behold, we said to the angels: “Bow down to Adam…” [Al-Baqara/34-37]
“And B behold, we said to the angels “Bow down to Adam” and they bowed down Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughy: He was of those who reject Faith. We said: “O’ Adam! Dwell thou and they wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as [where and when] ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression.” Then did Satan make them slip from the [garden], and get them out of the state [of felicity] in which they had been. We said: “Get ye down, all [ye people], with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling –place and your means of livelihood- for a time.” Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration, and his Lord turned towards him; for He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
- The heavenly book of the holy Quran has been sent down in fluent Arabic language based on conversational principles:
“وَ هذَا لِسانٌ عَرَبیٌ مُبینٌ” (نحل/۱۰۳)
“…this is Arabic pure and clear.” [Al-Nahl/103]
- Abdul Baha has deviated the adventure of dismissal of the Excellency Adam and Eve and has considered himself as the successor of self-proclaimed prophet who has forbidden the divine verses and assumed the interpreter as the harmful[2]:
” إنّ الَّذی یأَوّلُ ما نُزِّلُ مِن سَماءِ الوَحی و یخرُجُه عَن الظاهر إنَّه مِمَّن حرَّف کلمةالله و کان مِنَ الأخسرین فی کتابٍ مبین”
Even his followers who are narrating the alteration of the adventure of the dismissal of the Excellency Adam and Eve has as if forgotten that he (Hussein Ali Nouri) has considered the prohibition of the divine verses as his definite beliefs: “of the definite wills and explicit advice of the greatest name (Hussein Ali Nouri) is to block the interpretation gates and according to the book and to relay on the meaning of the word which is common in the public[3].”
