Why does the Baha’ism organization call the Baha’is for blind and firmness on belief? While this behavior is against the principle of the independent investigation of truth, first and then the Baha’i leaders didn’t persevere on their belief?!
To encourage the Baha’is to firmness of belief, the proselytizing networks of Baha’ism [1] preached some advice by their leaders regarding being perseverant on belief.
The self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’is has called his opponents and non-Baha’is as infidel and has encouraged his followers to persevere oh their beliefs:
“”
“Being the manifestations of perseverance among people. Don’t let the infidels’ doubts prevent you when the great king emerged.[1] [2]”
In other places, resisting against belief is being emphasized; so that all people aren’t able to prevent the person of his/her belief[2] [3], and the claimants of new religions can’t attract him/her: “The best of actions today is being perseverant on God’s faith (Baha’ism); so that the misgiving claimants can’t prevent and mislead God’s disciples.[3] [4]”
Answer:
- How is it possible for the Baha’i leaders to shout the slogan of seeking the truth and to consider it as the first of their teachings and to call the Baha’is to blind grudge at the same time?! An obstinancy which prevent them to accept non-Baha’is advice?!
All God’s disciples are obliged to avoid everyone who opposes the Blessed Beauty. Their essences are contagious like poison…[۴] [5]”
- It is interesting to be known that the Baha’i leaders are intriguing their followers to persevere on their beliefs which they themselves didn’t. As the false forerunner of Baha’ism, Ali Muhammad Bab repented when he encountered the slightest danger. He repented orally in Shiraz city[5] [6] then he repented in writing which is available in the Baha’i books.[6] [7]
Also, the Baha’i leaders were hiding their beliefs when they felt dangerous and pretending to be Muslims. As Abdul Baha pretended to be Muslim to the end of his life and prayed in Muslims’ mosque in group.[7] [8]
