\" There isn\'t any country better than Iran for trading and
gaining interest for American nation ; because , Iran\'s
richness is hidden under the ground . I hope American nation cause
for this treasure to be disclosed.\"
\'\'Mirza Hassan Ali Nouri \'\' (born in 1933) entitled Baha Allah
was one of Seyyed Ali Mohammad Bab\'s (born 1235) fans who
called himself as \'\'a person whom God emerges in him \'\'. A person
whom \'\'Seyyed Bab \'\' promised that he will appear .Then he claime
prophecy and founded Baha\'ism sect . After him , \'\' Abass Afandi\"
(Baha Allah\'s elder son ) entitled Abdul Baha and Shoghi Afandi
who are famous for interpreters of Bahai\'s works among Bahai\'s
becam leaders of Bahai\'s respectively.
After Baha Allah\'s death, there were arguments and disagreements
among his offsprings for father\' succession .So that ,all Baha Allah\'s
relatives except for seven people were \'\'Mohammad Ali Afandi\'s\'\'
fans. They didn\'t accept \'\'Abdul Baha\'s \'\' leadership .It is supposed that
this special tendency to Mohammad Ali Afandi by Baha Allah\'s
offsprings and reltives is caused by the role and attempt of
Mohammad Ali Afandi to print and publish his father\'s works.
These contests and involvements for ownership of Baha Allah\'
succession were so severe that the two parties wrote smutty and
obscene words in their writings and accused each other as thieves of
papers and tablets and issued commandments against each other.
Eventually, Abdul Baha became father\'s successor. He was Bahai\'s
leader by 1300. He tried hard to expand and proselytize Baha\'ism ; so
that , he sent many missioners to some countries and parts of the
world including America. Sobhi Mohtadi writes about one of these
missioners:
\'\'Sheik Asad Allah Baboli was entitled \'\' learned \'\' by
Bahai\'s….before Abdulbaha sent him to America he had been in
Heyfa for 2 months. He had been examined there. At last ,they took
his hat off and put him on a turban , they took his short cloth and put
him a loose cape . They head him off with this gesture and face
.Because Abdul Baha thought that this kind of cloth is important in
the view of people and attracts people in western countries… .\'\'
After getting rid of the limitation exerted by Ottoman government in
1328, Abdul Baha was invited by European and American Bahai\'s and
he traveled from Palestine to Egypt and then to Europe and once
again to America. Abdul Baha gave speeches in some coteries of
those countries.
He collected and edited everything that Bahai\'s know as twelve
instructions during his three –year trip .He reconciled Bab and Baha\'s
instructions to everything which was famous and common as
illucidation and modernism in 19th century.
Most of his speeches and writings which were considered as holy
works by Bahai\'s and Bahai\'s consider them as the interpretation of
Baha Allah\'s tablets and divine facts based on divine verses of the
book \'\' Aghdas \'\' were nothing but the result of Abdul Baha\'s studies ,
experiences ,understandings and familiarities with western works and
thoughts.
Paying attention and emphasizing on Spranto language learning
was one of Abdul Baha\'s attempts and initiatives and one of samples
of these collectings existed in Bahai\'s works and beliefs .the Sprado
language has some fans .Soon afterward , it became clear that this
language wasn\'t practical and was forgotten. Abdul Baha was trying to
assign all of his learning and achievements (compiling of religious
instructions of the \'\'east \'\'and modern and intellectual thoughts of the
\'\'west\'\') to his father (Baha Allah). Thus , in different situations he had
announced that such instructions haven\'t been introduced in human
societies before Baha Allah .All of these are innovations of Bahai
faith. They were sent down through inspiration to his father ( Baha
Allah).
One of significant behaviors of Abdul Baha was his prayer for
governments of rulers of different countries according to political
situations and special deliberations and interests. He wished victory
,eternality ,growth and divine aids for them .For example ,in a tablet
he prays for ottoman government :
\'\'O \' God, O \' God . Because of your occult aids , your compassionate
successes and generosities ,I ask you to make the great ottoman
government prosperous and endure it on the earth and preserve its land
and its center of government . O \' God. preserve and support it. Have
