The Baha’i commandment –part 23
Getting married with the same sex and homosexuality are forbidden in Islam and in the divine religions because it is against the temperament. Additionally, everything which is against temperament has had effect on people. It is stated in the holy Quran:
أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ (شعراء/۱۶۵)
“What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males,” [Al-Shuara/ 165]
Consequently, this relationship is quite rejected according to legitimacy and it shouldn’t be done, at all.
It is stated in a tradition by Imam Reza (P.H.) concerning homosexuality:
“عِلَّةُ تَحْرِيمِ الذُّكْرَانِ لِلذُّكْرَانِ وَ الْإِنَاثِ لِلْإِنَاثِ لِمَا رُكِّبَ فِي الْإِنَاثِ وَ مَا طُبِعَ عَلَيْهِ الذُّكْرَانُ وَ لِمَا فِي إِتْيَانِ الذُّكْرَانِ الذُّكْرَانَ وَ الْإِنَاثِ الْإِنَاثَ مِنِ انْقِطَاعِ النَّسْلِ وَ فَسَادِ التَّدْبِيرِ وَ خَرَابِ الدُّنْيَا[۱]”
“The philosophy of banning men over men and women over women is that this is contrary to the nature that God has placed for men and women (and opposition to this natural structure will cause the deviation of the human soul and body) and that is why if men and women become homosexual, the human race will be cut off and the management of social life will be corrupted, and the world will be destroyed.”
It has been proven according to medicine that the relationship between man with man and homosexual with homosexual is dangerous, too. No. physician advises this relationship and definitely on thesis has been offered concerning this relationship to be healthy and harmless; but on the contrary this relationship has been constantly rejected based on medicine. On the other side, other contagious diseases like hepatitis, AIDS, Syphilis and other sexual transmitted diseases are being transmitted through anus comfortably. Also these affairs can be mentally harmful and such men and women will be afflicted by extreme sexual weakness and won’t be able to be good mothers and fathers for their offspring For these reasons and other moral and social reasons, Islam has extremely boycotted homosexuality and appointed an extreme penalty and punishment for it such as execution.[2]
The self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has evaded to state the commandment for this great sedition in his book “the Aqdas” and has embarrassed to state the verdict:
“قَد حُرّمَت عَلیکُم أزواجَ آبائکُم إنَّا نَستَحییَ أن نَذکُر حُکم الغِلمان”
“Your father’s wives are forbidden for you to be gotten married with and we embarrass to mention the verdict for boys (homosexuality)[3].”
Yes, it means that the Excellency Baha has embarrassed to state the verdict for homosexuality; while he has written his illusion for making the holy spirit’s breast bare[4]!
However, suppose a Baha’i country in which a homosexual person has been arrested and taken to the court in the presence of the universal house of justice. The judge is turning over the Aqdas book and when he/she approaches the verdict, he/she writes “I embarrass”! The homosexual person will humiliate him/her surprisingly and will exit the court bucking and will continue his/her action impudently!!!
