The Oneness of the World of Humanity in Baha’ism?!

[ part  2 ]

By: Rajah Sinha

You may ask yourself what Bahaullah did in these various cities that no land was able to endure his riotous acts any more after a while. It is not bad to choose an instance and set to analyze the nature of his hostile behavior ,an investigation of his life show that there is no need to go so far as to choose this instarce that is ,he or those who had suffered. These hostilities –and choose unknown individuals. Who is the nearest person to Bahaullah  ? His family  ? How is it to choose his brother from among his family? He who lived, was trained and was intimate with him .an analysis of his behavior towards his brother will be an expressive example of the of the nature of these acts , so that we will find out through it that he who was not able to establish a friendly relation and unity between his brother and him but had brought about hostility and conflict instead what kind of behavior did he have towards others? Bahaullah’s brother called Mirzayahya ,who had been appointed by Bab as his successor ,took charge of the leadership of the Babis.

Bahaullah also surrendered to him as, the others and managed his affairs as a believer in him and executed his commands as his agent. ”The matters which he wrote during this period are full of expressions devotion of to Mirza Yahya subh-i-Azal and of the announcement of his obedience to him,” [3] until after a while , a dispute arose between his brother & him over the leadership of the followers  and the fire of struggle for power began to blaze . Bahaullah abandoned obedience to Mirza Yahya’s orders and re-presented himself as the envoy of god and proclaimed his leadership to the Baha’is .This claim, which was contradictory with the beliefs of the followers of and sayings of bad, caused disunion among the Babis and in this manner , a conflict broke out between Mirza yahya and Bahaullah and consequently among their followers.

In this conflict all human questions, including ‘politeness’ and ‘etiquette’ were forgotten and ruined. Bahaullah called his brother “lamb”[4], “satan”[5] and entitled him “bull”[6]. He abused him under the name “deceptive snake”[7] and called his followers “dogs”[8] and considered their sayings the calls of the “wolf” and of the “pig”[9]. At this time, the two brothers began also to disclose their hidden secrets, and as a result, the secrets were divulged and many of the concealed guilts and unspeakable sins and defects hidden from the sight of the public were disclosed.

The disunion and conflict between the two brothers and among their followers did not cease in the course of abuse and betrayal, and after a while, the followers of Bahaullah began to massacre the adherent of Mirza yahya at his command. They trapped the opponents through foul plots and swooped down on and murdered them. [10]

Ishrag khavari( Reference : 10 )

Bahaullah had a sister called “madameiziyah”, who wrote a book entitled “awakening the sleepy”. She points to the inhuman massacres of the Baha’is in various parts of this book and names many of the people who had been killed through cutting off their necks or ripping their belleys, or suffocating them in the river ,or shooting them because of not believing in Bahaullah .

It is not a discussion of the inhuman acts of this group .the aim of our investigation has not been to prepare a report of these crimes, because only a list of them will form a voluminous book. We wanted only to see how this ideology , which claims to be divine , has met need of men for unity and solidarity.

Ishrag khavari( Reference : 10 )

We saw that the foundation of this religion was essentially built upon opposition to unity and correlation. The instance of the “family” clarified many points to us. Because we know that the family is the smallest and most correlative organ of society and the cornerstone of the high mansion of “oneness of mankind”. Now if anyone does not want and is not also able to establish unity in this small unit but on the contrary , brings about an abusive and bloody conflict instead of it, he will never think of “oneness of mankind” and will make no effort to create it. Rather he will make an effort to destroy it as far as he can. We are not exaggerating, because if we see such an order from Bahaullah , what can it be called but an attempt to prevent the approach of nations and the unity of humanity.

“It has not been allowed to associate with, talk to and meet those who have not believed in Baha’ism “[12]

This saying may have surprised you that how it is possible for a group of people to follow such orders in this age of enlightenment, while various efforts are begin made for the approach of nations to one another .you may consider the matter so absurd as not to believe it. Now then, consider the other saying of Bahaullah for more assurance: “lo! Know that god has even prohibited the Baha’is from meeting the unbelievers.”[13]

Can it be still doubted ? Can the disunion caused by this ideology be doubted? Can it be considered a divine ideology, while all revealed religions have offered numerous programs for men’s correlation not for their division? The answer rests with aware consciences. By the way, it is not also unfit in the end to point to a funny saying. You may have also heard it. The Baha’is ,that is ,the followers of his holiness Bahaullah ,that is ,the executors of the anti –unity commands hold conferences, circulate pamphlets and they say and write in them for propagating their ideology that the oneness of the world of humanity is one of the teachings of Baha’ism.

We want to observe politeness and remove the ironical smile from our lips, but what is to be done in contrast to this deceitful lie, ? By the way ,do they consider their audience unaware and sophisticated people ,who accept everything blindly and say nothing  in contrast to any lie, or treachery? Have they supposed that they will never have access to the original texts of Baha’ism and will never disclose their lies?

It is an optimistic probability to say that the people saying this are themselves unaware of the facts and do not know Baha’ism a duty upon our shoulders : the duty of acquainting them with the they may decide after acquaintance through proper awareness of truth-seeking conscience and come under the bondage of such commands.

We have found it our duty to clarify these facts so that the road of men towards correlation and unity may become cleared from any obstacle. We warmly welcome any question or discussion . Please help us in the cause of uniting men, too.

Looking forward to receiving your comments or those of your Baha’i friends.
