In its message, the Baha’ism organization introduced the spiritual inheritance of Abdul Baha for the Iranian people as preaching merited attributes, intellectualization, transformation of morality, advancement and exaltation of Iran. However; contrary to this claim Abdul Baha has praised the colonialists and has intrigued them to usurp Iran along with insulting, humiliating and blaming the Iranian people.
The leadership foundation of Baha’ism, the universal house of justice has written in a part of Nowrouz 1400 message:
“The spiritual inheritance bequeathed by that peerless and distinguish Being, Whose words transformed the hearts and Whose ways magnetized the souls, belongs, of course, to all humanity, yet it holds a special significance and implications for the people of Iran. Although ‘Abdu’l-Baha’ in childhood departed for exile in the company of His distinguished Father, He was never forgetful of His sacred and much-loved homeland. Throughout His life, even in the course of His travels to the Western world, He was ever occupied with the thought and mention of His compatriots, that perchance, with the aid of the teachings of God for the new Day and through the promotion of those qualities that are worthy of this age, the essential relationships of society in that land might be transformed, justice and fairness be manifested the power of the intellect shine forth, learning and education become the principal axis of all affairs and, through the fundamental transformation of morals, every kind of progress and advance be made possible and lead ultimately to the exaltation of Iran.[1]”
Answer:
- How can Abdul Baha be considered as the one who preaches the decent attributes for the Iranian people while he called the people of our country as wicked ones expressing his happiness with people’s preoccupations at that period of time when he was the leader of Baha’is: “How wicked are the Iranian people, they haven’t found comfort. They are wicked although they have been afflicted by calamities and catastrophes.[2]
- Abdul Baha has also called non-Baha’is as ignorant, deaf and blind, dead and disappointed[3].
Apparently, Abdul Baha has considered cursing as indecent even to the enemies: “Look at the virtues not at the sins… Look at the praiseworthy attribute if a person has ten indecent attributes and one praiseworthy quality. Forget those ten attributes. Don’t curse anybody whether he/she is enemy.[4]”
- More Strangely, An atheist like Abdul Baha who calls his father as god of gods[5] and considered him as the mobile kiblah[6] and has questioned the Iranian faith due to the lack of accepting Baha’ism blasphemies of Baha’ism: “The Excellency Abdul Baha states addressing the Excellency Agha Heydar Ali Sarvestani: “… Do you know what the Iranians have done and are ignorant, yet. The Iranian people are ignorant while the people of the farthest place in America are awake[7].” It is remarkable to be noticed that Abdul Baha considered people’s opinions as related to themselves: “Why should we say this is Jewish and the other is Christian. This is Muhammadan and this one is Buddhist. It is none of our business. God has created everybody and it is our duty to be kind with all.[8]”
- Some of Abdul Baha’s attempts for the advancement of Iran is calling Iranian people as the devotees of malicious England[9] as the founder of some million Iran people holocaust or encouraging the Colonialist Americans to usurp the Iranian wealth.[10]
