Replies to Quanic Verses Advanced by Baha’is

IMRAN SHAYKH

هُوَ الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ في قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاء الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاء تَأْوِيلِهِ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلاَّ اللّهُ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ

He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: \"We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:\" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.
(Ref: Chapter of Ale Imran, verse 7)

Not surprisingly the first victim of the Baha’i crusade to prove Bahaullah\'s case as a Prophet of God is the Holy Quran. Several verses of the Quran that have clear implications are given not-so-clear interpretations so as to distort the matter for the Muslims. Several allegorical and complicated verses of the Holy Quran are analyzed with such disdain that you begin to wonder if the Holy Prophet of Islam was the one who brought the Quran or Bahaullah!

Any verse and every verse of this Holy Text is up for grabs as far as proving an invalid point is concerned. Any and every verse that originally referred to the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) or some other personality now refers to Bahaullah. None of these interpretations are rooted in the Quran, Tradition (Sunnah), Consensus (be it from a Sunni viewpoint or a Shiite viewpoint), Arabic literature or even rules of Arabic grammar. They are the figment of someone\'s very twisted imagination. Readers will find the scheming nature of this misrepresentation of facts very striking in all my articles.

Over here I have outlined a series of Quranic verses that have fallen victim to Baha’i misrepresentation.

ï‚· Chapter of Ale Imran, verse 81

ï‚· Chapter of Ahzab, verse 7

ï‚· Chapter of Aaraf, verse 35

I have attempted to establish from several sources how the Baha’i interpretation of these verses is far from the truth and I have indicated the real interpretation with the help of irrefutable sources. Just to set the record straight I have noted down references from Ahle Sunnah and Shia sources. This should serve as an fitting response to the Baha’is who when cornered with an argument from one source (i.e. Ahle Sunnah) are always looking for an answer from the other source (Shia) or vice versa.
