What do these mean? Wow! We ourselves consider the doers of such actions as superstitious and hallucinated and laugh at them, but&#8230; there are many cases of inviting people to think in the holy Quran and there aren&#8217;t in any other books, while it is said in the Aghdas: If the owner of the faith calls the sky as the earth and calls the earth as the sky, nobody will be allowed to question while this proposition is against wisdom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fadhlullah Mohtadi known as Sobhi was dispatched to Iran 1305 S.H. after 12-year residing in the presence of Abdul Baha and serving honestly in writing and composing his letters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13519\" src=\"https:\/\/bahaismiran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/zendan1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"165\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>In this stage, basic changes happened in his thoughts and beliefs regarding the function of the Baha\u2019i leader observed by Sobhi himself.

Baha&#8217;is can have just social intercourses just with safe people who aren&#8217;t dangerous for Baha&#8217;is. Meanwhile, they can proselytize for Bahaism. They are just speaking with illiterate people and I never saw a Baha\u2019i speak with a Muslim scholar and speak about Bahaism. They knew they would be condemned. So, they didn&#8217;t discuss with scholar and the educated specially with the clergymen. They had introduced Islam as a minor religion which is out of date full of superstitions (while Bahaism teachings are full of superstitions) while Islam is a comprehensive and complete religion. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Abulfadhl Sabzi writes in the book called the inverted materials and superstition in futurity&#8221;: &#8220;One of the issues agonizes and agonizing me continually is the existence of superstitions and innovations and preaching them among Muslim society.
