The second principle of the Baha’is is the oneness of humane world. They claim for all human being to be created by the Excellencies of Lords. Color, face and sight can’t be considered as the superiority for one person ouer the other one and mustn’t be considered as the reason for differences and enmity. (Ashraf, Faramarz, the collection of the Baha’i materials in brief, the national institute of the faith press, 1131 Badi’a)
They also claim for science and morality as the scale for periority not for hometown and position but these periorities can’t be assumed as the right for superiority. It is narrated by Abbas Effendi: “The second divine base is the oneness of humane world; that is all human beings are the great God’s slaves. God is the provider and creator of all and God is kind with all human beings.” (Ibid)
The criticism of the principle of the oneness of huamne world:
Is this principle is really new?
In Islam; and according to the Holy Quran text, no human being is superior to another. Skin color, race and other materialistic differences are used just to distinguish them.
Tthere are several verses in the holy Quran in this regard:
“يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ” (سوره حجرات/۱۳)
“O’ mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! The noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” [Al-Hujurat/13]
“وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ” (سوره انفال/ ۴۶)
And obey Allah and his messenger, and dispute not one with another lest ye falter and your strength depart from you; but be steadfast! Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.” [Al-Anfal/46]
“وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا” (سوره آل عمران/۱۰۳)
“And hold fast, all of you together, to cable of Allah, and do not separate” [Al-Imran/103]
So, this principle doesn’t just belong to this deviant cult
Violating this principle by the Baha’ism heads:
Abdul Baha says about the black Africans: “The people of a land such as Africa resemble to wild animals. They are stupid and wild. There isnt any civilized person among them.” (Abbas Efendi, Makatib, Egypt: Kurdistan-al-Elmieh, 1910 A.D., Vol. 1, p. 331)
He has also nature, he/she will be worse than animal.” (Abbas Effendi, the Sermons, Germany, the national assembly of publishing the Faith works, 127 Badi’a, Vol. 2, pp. 234-237)
