The superficial interpretation and attributing the secrets to the divine texts aiming deviating religions and proving itself are false for Bab and Baha and also for the Excellency Ma’ani Basically, this method doesn’t have any criterion because those who disagree and oppose use it to achieve their purposes. Additionally, the Almighty God was sending them on a mission via clear reasons.
The tendency towards secrets and the interpretation of certainties are of the deviations of Babism and Baha’ism cults which must be criticized. To achieve their aims and to prove themselves, the Baha’is leaders have claimed for the existence of many secrets in the contents of the divine texts. So, they have deviated the divine verses.
For instance, the Babi and Baha’i leaders are using method in taking hold of the Islamic verses and traditions to prove their legitimacy following weird decoding. Adding and subtracting numbers, they are going to prove their aims; e.g.: to prove Ali Muhammad Bab’s legitimacy, they have deviated the fifth verse of Al-Sajdeh chapter and claiming for each religion’s lifetime to be one thousand years and that of Islam has been terminated by the emergence of Ali Muhammad Bab[1].
They are claiming for the prophethood of Ali Muhammad Bab to be two thousand years[2]. However; they consider 2000 years as expired and less than 20 years by assuming 2000 years as secret and deviating his promise. (Ishraq Khawari, the treasury of limitations and commandments, Bija: the national institute of the faith press, 134 Badi’a, p. 383). This is the time for the forged prophet of Baha’ism and abolishment of its forged religion. The religion’s periods of time became 500 years not 1000 or 2000 years.[3] Of course, Baha’ism cult has tried to bring reasons for all of these contradictions which has been unsuccessful.
It must be mentioned that the forged prophet of Baha’ism has prevented each kind of interpretation of the divine verses:
“اِنَّ الذَّی یأولُّ ما نُزِّلَ من سماءِ الوحی و یخرجُهُ عن الظاهر اِنَّهُ مِمَّنْ حرّف کَلمهُ الله وَ کانَ مِنَ الاخرین فی کتابٍ مبینٍ”[۴]
It is interesting to be known that Baha’ism which was interpreting and deviating the divine religions by secrets to prove its legitimacy became disgraced by this method. As Jamshid Ma’ani called himself as prophet and the promised one of Hussein Ali Nouri after Shoqi Effendi’s death claiming for the continuation of the divine grace after the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism in renewing the religions and attributing telling secrets to his books and using similar method to the Baha’i leaders.
Yes, the superficial interpretation and attributing secrets to the divine texts aiming deviating religions and proving itself are false for Bab and Baha and also for the Excellency Ma’ani. Basically, this method doesn’t have any oppose use it to achieve their purposes. Additionally, the Almighty God was sending them on a mission via clear reasons:
“… قَدْ جائَکُم مِنَ اللهِ نُورٌ وَ کِتابٌ مبینٌ” (مائده/۱۵)
