Frauds of the Bahai Organization


Bahaullah: Prophet or God?

The Bahais present the personality of Bahaullah in a uniquely flexible manner. Depending upon the faith of the person who is addressed, Bahaullah could be either a prophet, or the promised messiah, or even God Almighty.
One can understand this logic if it came from the followers of Bahaullah and put it down to their enthusiasm for the Faith or rather their desperation to ensure the growth in their ranks. However, we see that the person in question, Bahaullah, himself appears confused as to his role in this world. At different points in time, Bahaullah made each of these claims.
The objective of this article is to primarily highlight this factual element of history. To be honest, the claims of Bahaullah just cannot be put down to something as simple as confusion. 


The seemingly logical graduation in the intensity of his claims and his self-induced ascension points to the fact that as he grew in power, and as the number of his followers increased, so did his claims. 
He was a mentally disturbed individual who simply lusted for power and stopped at nothing to achieve it.


This thirst for power was not limited to Bahaullah only. In fact a large number of Babis, including the brother of Bahaullah also made various claims for themselves.


It is unfortunate that in today's world the common Bahai is unaware of these facts. This article is a sincere attempt to bring out the true personality of Bahaullah. I have brought here irrefutable references to support my article at every stage and I invite reader feedback on the same.
The Fraudulent claims of Bab and his followers

Prior to reading the claims made by Bahaullah, let me remind you that, in his lifetime, the Bab too made numerous claims for himself. I have enumerated these in my article on The Babi Faith: Its Origin and History
  1. Initially he claimed to be the 'Bab' (Gate) of Mahdi
  2. He claimed to be Mahdi himself
  3. He also claimed to be the incarnation of the Prophet Mohammed
  4. Finally he claimed to be God Almighty.
The followers of the Bab accepted each of these claims as they were issued. Not only this, after witnessing their leader making tall claims for himself without reasonable or sufficient proofs, they began making tall claims for themselves also. Thus a series of claimants rose, among the Babis on a first-come-first-serve basis. Those who made claims earlier than the others could stake their claims to better and lucrative positions whereas the late comers had to be satisfied with what was left. Unfortunately, no two persons staked the same claim.


Here we present some of the claimants and their respective claims.
  1. Mulla Husain Bushrui, the first person to accept the Bab called himself 'Bab-ul-Bab' (Gate of the Gate).
  2. Haji Mohammed Ali claimed to be the incarnation of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).
  3. Qurratul Ayn, Tahera Qazvini claimed to be the incarnation of Fatemah, the daughter of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h).
    (Ref: Nuqtatul Qaaf by Mirza Jani, Page 14)
  4. Bab had predicted the advent of 'Man Yozherohullah' (The One whom God will manifest) in Bayan (Persian), chapter 17. Originally this title was conferred upon Mirza Yahya Nuri 'Subh-e-Azal', the younger brother of Mirza Husain Ali 'Bahaullah. However the first person who staked his claim for this very title was Mirza Asadullah, a staunch Babi. Those who supported Mirza Asadullah in his claims were known as 'Al-Hamdis'. However Mirza could not defend his claim for long. The servants of Bahaullah, and on his very orders ruthlessly murdered him. According to Count Gobisnow, the Babis tied a rope around the neck of Mirza Asadullah's legs, and drowned him in the river Tigris in Iraq. However a more specific version can be found in Episode of the Bab on page 362 which says, "On the orders of Bahaullah, his servant Mirza Mohammed Mazandarani murdered Mirza Asadullah."
It is pertinent to note that later Mirza Yahya staked his claim to this title and ultimately Bahaullah usurped it from him. Today the Bahais address Bahaullah with the title of "Man Yozherohullah", 'The One whom Allah will Manifest'. Our article on this matter will make it clear that Bahaullah was not the one whom Allah will manifest.
Similarly many such claims were propounded.
The crux of all what we said can be attributed to one simple observation made by Professor E. G. Browne in the foreword to Nuqtatul Qaaf of Mirza Jani. He writes, "Matters had reached to such an extent that any Babi, as soon as he would get up from his sleep, would have a claim for himself to announce to the world."


The Fraudulent claims of Bahaullah

Bahaullah during the course of his lifetime made several claims for himself. Here is a selection of his claims. I have restricted this selection to those on divinity since this is one facet which the Bahais do not reveal for their followers.
  1. It is mentioned in the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics under the title 'Bab', that the Bahais called Mirza Ali Mohammed Bab as "Rabbi-ul-Ala" (The Most Elevated Lord).
  2. Bahaullah mentions in Aqdas, page 43, "There is no God but I the Honored, the Wise."
  3. He again writes in Aqdas, page 144 "Accept whatever is commanded by Baha (himself) the Lord of Eternity."

  4. In Aqdas, page 8, Bahaullah says, "We have sent down all the Messengers and we have revealed all the Books."

  5. In Istaqaaraat, page 34, Bahaullah writes, "The Master of Eternity lies in prison" (referring to his imprisonment and confinement).

  6. In his Tablets, Page 217, Bahaullah writes, "All, save me are created from my command."

  7. In his Al-Mubeen, page 34, Bahaullah writes, "All praise is for you O Bahaullah, the Creator of existence."

  8. In the same book, page 190, he says, "Obey the commands of your Elevated, Splendorous God, Bahaullah.

  9. Again in Al-Mubeen, page 297, Bahaullah again refers to himself as, "You Most Beneficent Lord, Bahaullah",

  10. In his Tajalliyaat (Tajalli number 4), page 5, Bahaullah decrees, "Most surely I am Allah. There is no God save me. I am the Lord of everything. The O my creatures, you worship me alone."

  11. Abdul Baha writes in Badaaé-ul-Asaar, page 139, "Bahaullah is unique, incomparable. It is necessary for everyone to turn towards Bahaullah in his prayers."

  12. In Maftoon, page 15, Bahaullah writes to his son Abdul Baha, "This is a letter from Allah, the Honored and the Wise (Bahaullah) to Allah the Gracious, the Aware (Abdul Baha)." Thus not only did the father, but even the son claimed divinity for himself.
Now here is an important point to note. Bahais do not present the belief of Divinity of Bahaullah before everyone. It is only revealed to those who are firmly entrenched in their traps. Most Bahais till date remain ignorant of these claims. Even the Bahai preachers refuse to openly acknowledge that Bahaullah made claims of divinity. 
According to them Bahaullah is indeed alterable and they do alter him to suit their whims and fancies. 
To a Muslim, Bahaullah is Imam Mahdi, to a Christian, he is Jesus Christ, to a Jew he is Yehuda, to a Parsi, he is Behram, and to a Hindu, he is Kilankari Avtaar.


To a non-Bahai, Bahaullah is portrayed as a God-fearing man of Allah and a guide sent by Allah to lead mankind to the straight path.


 But obviously Bahaullah had bigger plans for himself.


After reading the above article, one can easily conclude that Bahaullah was neither any divine Prophet, nor did he follow any true religion.


 He was merely a mortal with dangerous intentions and lust for power


With his claims of divinity, Bahaullah not only attacked the foundations of Islam, but of all religions and beliefs. Surely, when Bahais mean that they seek a universal religion, they mean that we all must accept Bahaullah as God. Or at least that is what Bahaullah wants us to believe.
If you are a Bahai, I must ask you one question - Did your superiors disclose these declarations from Bahaullah when you accepted the Faith? More importantly, do you believe that Bahaullah was God? Go ahead, speak to your superiors about these declarations and whether he believes that Bahaullah was a God. As always, I look forward to your honest and objective feedback

Different Sects Of The Bahai Organization : Bahais have divided into many different sects Bahais are as divided as any other organization .

Like any other deviant cult where division amongst their followers is natural, Bahá'í Cult is no exception to it. How much the Bahá'í leaders may claim that there is no division amongst Bahá'ís the fact is that Bahá'í Faith does have different denominations, each calling themselves as the TRUE Faith . The fact is that in the small span of 160 years Bahá'í Faith has seen more divisions than any other religion.

[READ THE COMPLETE HISTORY FROM CRACKS IN COVENANT TO BATTLE OF COVENANTS]

Here is a brief treatise on the history of the division in the Bahá'í Faith - right from its inception, the Bab, Subhe' Azal, Bahá'u'lláh, Abbas Effendi, Shoghi Effendi and finally till the present day Universal House of Justice.


•Division amongst the followers of The Bab

•Division amongst the followers of Bahá'u'lláh

•Division amongst the followers of Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi

•Bahá'ís who believe that Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Bahá is fraudulent

Sects of the Bahá'í Faith

View: Leaders and Guardians of The Sects of The Bahá'í Faith

•People of Bayan or Bayanis

These are those who believe the true successor of The Bab is Mirza Yahya Subh-e-Azal and not Mirza Hussain Ali Noori (Bahá'u'lláh).

•Essence of The Bahá'í Faith

These are those who believe in the coming of the Third Manifestation after Bab and Baha’u’llah.

•Unitarian Bahá'ís

These are those who believe after Baha’u’llah, his younger son Mohammed Ali was his true successor.

•Questioning the Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Bahá

1. Free Bahá'ís

2. Reform Bahá'ís

3. New History Society

These are those who believe that Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Bahá is a fraudulent document doctored by Shoghi Effendi Rabbani.

•Continuation of Guardianship

1. Orthodox Baha'is (followers of Joel B. Marangella)

2. Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant (followers of Neal Chase)

3. Heart of the Bahá'í Faith (followers of Jacques Soghomonian)

4. Tarbiyat Baha'is (followers of Rex King et al)

These are those who believe in continuation of Guardianship.

•Heterodox Bahá'ís

These are those who believe that the Guardianship ended with Shoghi Effendi and at present UHJ is the true leader.

•Followers of 5 Elders

These are those who believe that the UHJ requires an infallible Guardian in line with the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh and Abdu'l-Bahá.

It looks like the Baha'i denominations will succeed in mounting a significant challenge to the mainstream Haifa-based Baha'i Faith. On the other hand main stream Haifa Based Baha’is are putting more pressure on their UHJ to clarify the concept of Guardianship, rather than asking them to shun the Covenant Breakers. The recent court case done by the Haifa Based Baha’is on their two other denominations has further internationalize the issue of Guardianship. It looks like the balance is tilting more towards Guardianists. If current trends of infightining continue, it is possible that Baha'ism will suffer from more divisions. It has to be seen.

LIES OF THE BAHAI ORGANIZATION;

Failed Bahai prophecies;

An important element to prove the truthfulness and divine origin of any religion is to check the prophecies made by their leaders;

The importance of prophecies is derived from the fact that Prophets (or Manifestations of God, as the Bahais call them) are sent by God. God, the Almighty, is Knower of All things. Since our knowledge is limited to the present and the past, God makes known the future to His appointed ones as a sign of their truthfulness. So while predictions can go wrong, prophecies are true and bound to happen. Thus, the foretelling by Prophets are prophecies, and any wrong forecasting is a manifest proof to establish the falsehood of the claimant.


Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions are exemplary evidences of prophecies, which the Bahais also acknowledge.

My intention, here, is not to scrutinize all the Bahai teachings and convert this article to an argument of academic interest. But my objective is to present to you an honest case and let you examine the Bahai Faith.

Leadership has always been a a key issue in the Bahai Faith, and its importance is emphasized by Abdul Baha

"In each cycle the guardian and holy souls have been twelve. So Jacob had twelve sons; in the time of Moses there were heads or chiefs of the tribes; in the time of Christ there were twelve Apostles; and in the time of Mohammad there were twelve Imams. But in this glorious manifestation there are twenty-four, double the number of all the others, for the greatness of this manifestation requires it."

(Ref: Some Answered Questions, Chapter 11: Commentary on the Eleventh Chapter of the Revelation of St. John, page 29-30)

"O my loving friends! After the passing away of this wronged one, turn unto Shoghi Effendi as he is the sign of God, the chosen branch, the Guardian of the Cause of God, he unto whom all the Aghsan, the Afnan, the Hands of the Cause of God and His loved ones must turn."

(Ref: Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha, page 11)

So far so good, but what about the remaining?

The Will and Testament continues,

"He (Shoghi) is the Interpreter of the Word of God and after him will succeed the first-born of his lineal descendents."

(Ref: Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha, page 11)

And lo! Shoghi died without children. God guided mankind and proved Abdul Baha a liar.

The Bahai Faith is anything but a Faith.
Had there been any truth in it, the statements of Abdul Baha would have been established. God never breaks His promise. He would keep His Word had He made it. And thus, God in His Own unique way showed mankind that the Bahai Faith is not His Word. The truth was manifested and the Bahai Faith falsified.

Dear readers, Abdul Baha played a trick, he was blind about the unseen future. How will he show you the way, who himself is lost?
O Bahais open your eyes to the truth.

"Now have come to you, from your Lord, proofs (to open your eyes): if any will see, it will be for (the good of) his own soul; if any will be blind, it will be to his own (harm): I am not (here) to watch over your doings." (Holy Quran
Bahai deceit and fraud against women :

Advancing the Status of Women? Or only Men?

Amongst the many doctrines adopted by the Bahais to attract converts to their fold is the concept of "Advancing the Status of Women". Bahais are often found to shout themselves hoarse over this concept as if they were the first to put forth the concept of equality of men and women. The Bahais use this doctrine very aggressively to secure a place in the minds of the people of today's liberal world.

It is interesting to understand why the Bahais are so very vociferous about this principle, unlike the other principles (for example, the concept of a universal language). Perhaps it is due to the fact that women constitute approximately half of world's population. Or maybe it is possible that winning the interest of a woman will have a positive effect on the next generation. Perhaps above all, they wish to demonstrate themselves as a very progressive religion. Nevertheless, it is essential to verify the truth in this principle advanced by the Bahais as being one of their own.
I have chosen to confine my arguments within the Bahai Faith, while Islam has evidently laid down regulations to advance the status of women centuries earlier.

To highlight their commitment, the Bahais are prolific in talking about this principle. Words from Bahaullah, Abdul Baha and Shoghi are quoted to express the Bahai devotion to women.
Abdul Baha is quoted to have said in Promulgation p 375, "The world of humanity is possessed of two wings: the male and the female. So long as these two wings are not equivalent in strength, the bird will not fly. Until womankind reaches the same degree as man, until she enjoys the same arena of activity, extraordinary attainment for humanity will not be realized; humanity cannot wing its way to heights of real attainment. When the two wings . . . become equivalent in strength, enjoying the same prerogatives, the flight of man will be exceedingly lofty and extraordinary.

I urge you to read the above statement to absorb its importance.
As per Abdul Baha - the sole interpreter of the Bahai Faith -women must enjoy equal authority and perform the same activities as men. Till this is not done, humanity will never reach attainment. Fair enough.

However a question arises here. Why has the Universal House of Justice - the apex governing body of the Bahai Faith - never had any female representation? This is not due to the lack of qualified women amongst the Bahai Faith. Rather women are expressly debarred from becoming members of the Universal House of Justice!

It is clear that the primary Bahai body, which must be obeyed by all Bahais, refuses to adhere to the words of the founders of the Bahai Faith. A factual indication that Bahais are not interested in advancing the status of women, but are simply paying lip service to deceitfully attract new converts.

Historically central Bahai figures, namely Bab, Baha and Abdul Baha never regarded women as equal to men. The 19 Apostles of Bahaullah were all men! Even, among the 18 Letters of Living of Bab, there was only one woman! I wish to draw your attention to the following statistics.

                                                         members         women members     percentage
Letters of living of Bab                       19                       01                             5%
Apostles of Bahaullah                         19                      00                             0%
Bahaullah's Hands of Cause              04                      00                             0%
Abdul Baha's Special Disciples          19                      05                              26%
Abdul Baha's Hands of Cause            04                     00                              0%
Shoghi's Hands of Cause                     42                     06                              14%
Universal House of Justice                 09                    00                               0%

Please note that leave alone equality, Bahaullah did not deem fit to give any position to women.


It is clear from above that neither in the past (Bab, Bahaullah) nor in the present (UHJ), were women considered equal to men.

There is no doubt that advancing the status of women is a proposition which is appeal to all. However while the concept is being trumpeted by the Bahais, it is more important to to see how far that is implemented in spirit and in practice. For the Bahai Faith, it appears that the concept is being advanced merely to attract more women and consequently, the next generation to their fold

Deceitful Claims of The Bahai Cult

One of the biggest deceits of our times has been the wrong and deceitful claims of the bahai organization.

Islam has given the message of universal brotherhood of all humanity more than 1400 years ago.


Islam has removed all differences of race, class etc.

It has informed all mankind that every human being is from the same father ie; hazrat Adam (as) and that all mankind are one and that they should all worship the one and only God through the pure religion of islam.

How Universal is the Bahai Faith/Cult.

While studying the Bahai Faith, one is constantly led to believe that the Bahai Faith is the "new" Universal religion - a religion with universal laws; a religion which has replaced all faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam to name a few. Read any Bahai teaching material and this aspect hits you in the face - that the Bahai Faith is a Universal religion. Visit any Bahai web site and you will feel that the Bahai Faith is the "next big idea" when it comes to uniting religions and establishing a universal religion. This position has been hammered to such an extent that a novice to the Faith might actually start believing in it.
I have been a student of the Faith for some time - and would like to believe that I have dug deeper than even most Bahais in the quest for truth. And my studies have thrown up some amazing facts that contradict the very idea of Universality of the Bahai Faith.

What is the meaning of Universal Religion?

Before we move to my findings, I think it would not be out of place to first discuss what we mean by Universal religion. Without going into the dictionary meaning of "Universal", the general understanding when we say that any religion is a Universal religion is that the religion is for all men wherever they may reside - that the laws of that Universal religion would be binding equally upon every human being irrespective of where he stayed, worked or traveled.

For example, Muslims consider Islam to be the final Universal Religion. And there are several reasons for that. Some of them are mentioned in the Quran itself. Sample these verses:
If a person accepts Islam, the laws of Islam would be binding upon him and from that very moment he would be expected to follow all rules of Islam. And this law has been the same since the time of the Holy Prophet of Islam (pbuh). Whenever a group of people accepted Islam, they were taught the rules of Islam (prayers etc) and were expected to follow those rules without exception no matter where they resided or which tribe/family they belonged to.
Is the Bahai Faith a Universal Religion?

Before answering that question, lets look at some of the Abrahamic faiths. We know that Judaism and Christianity introduced laws that were aimed at the entire Bani Israel. Laws applied to every Israelite without exception. Likewise, Islamic laws are applicable to all Muslims regardless of his race, colour, region, tribe, etc. All Muslims are equal in front of Allah and the only criterion on which a Muslim can hope to get a concession is piety.إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
'…surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the most pious…'(Sura Hujarat, verse 13)


However, this feature is absent in the Bahai faith;

 The Bahai Faith is still not a Universal religion and even considers the Jewish order to be superior to it. Surprised? Well don't be! The Universal House of Justice (UHJ) clearly states that it is not permissible to teach the Bahai Faith to Israelites. And this edict exists even today. (Read the edict) I would like to ask why. If the Bahai Faith, as it so claims, was the religion which came to unite all the religions, then why not the Jews of Israel? Are they not worthy that they be introduced to the Faith? When Moses (a.s.) who came to rescue Bani Israel did not make exceptions for Israelites, then how can a faith that is purportedly superior to Judaism make exceptions for them? In fact, this would make Judaism superior to the Bahai Faith.

Or is it that the Bahais have a clandestine arrangement with Israel that in exchange of the permission to reside in Israel, the Bahais would not try and convert any Jews? And it is interesting that only Jews living in Israel are off-limits for Bahai missionaries. Christians and Muslims living in Israel are welcome targets for Bahais to introduce their 'Universal' doctrine.

With the existence of such an edict, how can one claim to be a Universal religion?
Some of my other amazing findings about the Faith include:1. The laws of The Aqdas were not applicable to America as late as 1974! (
Read the edict) 2. Some laws of The Aqdas were not applicable globally as late as 1999! (Read the edict)

You can click on the links next to each of the above statements and actually view the edicts of the Universal House of Justice (UHJ) in this regards.
Why were these laws not applicable universally? Why did it take 150 years for the laws to become applicable in a country like America?

For the benefit of my readers, here are a few more quotations,

"For your information, the people in Israel have access to factual information about the Faith, its history and general principles. Books concerning the Faith are available in libraries throughout Israel, and Israelis are welcome to visit the Shrines and the surrounding gardens. However, in keeping with a policy that has been strictly followed since the days of Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'ís do not teach the Faith in Israel. Likewise, the Faith is not taught to Israelis abroad if they intend to return to Israel. When Israelis ask about the Faith, their questions are answered, but this is done in a manner which provides factual information without stimulating further interest." (Ref: The Universal House of Justice, 1995 Jul 23, Teaching Israelis)
"Whenever an Israeli citizen living in the West, irrespective of his background and religious affiliation, declares his belief and interest in becoming a member of the Bahá'í community, he should be informed that the Faith is not taught in Israel and that there is no Bahá'í community there apart from those who are associated with the Bahá'í World Center. He cannot be accepted into the Bahá'í community if he is planning to return to Israel to reside there.
"If he plans to continue to reside outside Israel, his enrollment can be accepted, but he will then be subject to the same restrictions about travel to Israel as any other Bahá'í, in that he could do so only with the express permission of the Universal House of Justice. In any event, the Universal House of Justice should be informed of any such declaration.
(Ref: Letter from the Universal House of Justice, dated October 20, 1994, to several National Spiritual Assemblies.")(Compilations, NSA USA - Developing Distinctive Baha'i Communities)

Conclusion

The Bahai Faith seeks to mislead humanity under the garb of being a Universal religion.

Its laws even today are not globally applicable and depending upon its convenience, the UHJ releases edicts from time to time. If the Faith were truly global, then these laws would have been equally applicable to all individuals from the time of Bahaullah itself. Otherwise what this means is that Bahaullah left a legacy of an imperfect, evolving faith to his successors, which debunks the Bahai Faith's claim of being the next progressive link to Islam. Islam as is evident from the Quranic verses was completed and perfected by Allah before the passing away of the Prophet (This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion - Surah Maidah, verse 3).
Having understood this, it is therefore surprising how Tahera Qazvini in Badasht claimed that "Islam was abrogated" that too by the Babi Faith, which was even more incomplete and evolving than the Bahai Faith. And was only Islam (a religion made perfect by Allah) that was abrogated or even other religions like Christianity and Judaism. Judaism certainly did not (and does not) seem to be abrogated a fact that is evident from the wariness of the Bahais to spread the Faith among the Jews residing in Israel. And if Judaism is not yet abrogated, then it stands to question how Christianity can be abrogated, since it is a consequence of Judaism and of course Islam abrogated Christianity.

It is also pertinent to note if the Bahai Faith is more perfect than non-Abrahamic, polytheist faiths like Hinduism and Buddhism. In my interaction with my Hindu and Buddhist friends, especially from countries like India and Sri Lanka, I certainly don't hear of the Bahai Faith openly suggesting that it has abrogated these religions in their own countries. For that matter it would be interesting to note what the Bahai Faith has to say to Christians in Rome or the Vatican or to Muslims in the Middle East!
If the Bahai Faith is Universal, its message should go out unequivocally (and not in dissimulation - taqaiyya) to practioners of all faiths it claims to have abrogated. Else it should come out in the open and declare unequivocally, who is its real target audience. If it's particularly the Muslims, then it should assert as much, and not dilute its call by roping in other faiths which in any case don't seem to meet with the Bahai approval for full-fledged propagation and conversion
Faith, which claims to be the new Universal religion.
