The clergyman Nasouri said: The Islamic Revolution hit a heavy hit on the deviant cult of Baha’ism and removed it out of most ministries, economic centers, agricultural centers and other governmental organs.
The following interview is between Rasa correspondence and the clergyman Nasouri, the assistant director of advertisement and communications of the specialized center for Mahdism:
Rasa: Who is Ali Muhammad?
Seyyed Ali Muhammad Shirazi (Mehr, 27, 1198 S.H. –Tir 27, 1229 S.H.) is known as the title Bab, too. According to the Baha’is, he is Imam of the Time, new prophet and the founder of Bayan religion. By finishing the first 1000 years after Imam Hassan Askari’s (P.H.) departure, he founded Babi movement in Iran in 260 A.H. and attract people of all walks of life in Iran. He calls himself as the promised Mahdi, the new prophet and the herald of a religion which is going to be emerged by the one who God will manifest and he is continually mentioning his appearance in his works.
Rasa: How was Babism cult founded?
After Sheikism thoughts, the facilities were prepared for the emergence of Bab in the community. When Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee posed the thought for forth pillar; that is, wisdom wasn’t needed for figuring out the new legitimate commandments of course, Ehsaee himself didn’t claim fort the forth pillar. However, he posed such a view and then Seyyed Kazem Rashti claimed for the forth pillar.
Seyyed Kazem Rashti was also stressing on this issue that Imam of the Time would emerge and now he was among us. After him, Ali Muhammad Shirazi gained power and claimed for being Imam of the Time. Next, the proselytizers such as Tahireh Qorratul Ein and Mullah Hussein Boshrouyee known as Hayy group proselytized in the society for the savior who had emerged and he was going to fill the world with justice and to save people, but he was executed by Amir the great allowed by the Islamic scholars.
Rasa- were the Baha’is corroded after the Islamic Revolution?
The Islamic Revolution of Iran hit a heavy blow on the deviant cult of Baha’ism because during Pahlavi period of time most ministries economic and agricultural centers, cultural and sportive centers, most factories such as Arj were dominated by the Baha’is, but Islamic Revolution hit a heavy blow on them and Imam Khomeini (P.H.) didn’t introduce them as a religion but called them a party.
Rasa- How is the Baha’ism advertisement and development in attracting people? Are their advertisements continued extensively? The major activity of this cult is in the cyberspace and in the4 real world they are holding their assemblies and educational ceremonies. They are active most in parks and recreational centers. They are unfortunately going to enter into some economic activities of the country.
Rasa- What are some deviations by the Baha’ism cult?
Baha’ism is the vicarious group of Colonialism. It is entering the countries with the excuse of religion and is trying to fight against religion.
Shiism is the main enemy of Baha’ism. Baha’ism are trying to attract naïve people and kids. They pretend to be good and kind. They attract people by offering medical services or financial discussions.
How do you evaluate the future of the deviant cult of Baha’ism?
Baha’ism is one of the deviant cults. Everywhere that we couldn’t be active, Baha’ism has entered actively. For instance, Baha’ism is trying to preach sedition and living with animal life style. It is trying too much to expand obscenity culture in the Iranian community.
What is the main area of weakness of this cult, according to you?
To me, one of the main area of weakness of this cult is that it has nothing to offer regarding theological and religious discussion. It has weak and baseless rudiments because there are many contradictions in this creed.
Rasa- Thank you for your interview and spending your valuable time for us.
