Unitarian Baha’is Challange Haifan Baha’is

Why Baha’u’llah in his will and Testament appointed two Guardians at a time?

Baha’u’llah’s Will and Testaments

Verily God hath ordained the station of the Greater Branch [Muhammad Ali] to be beneath that of the Most Mightiest Branch [Abdu’l-Bahá]. He is in truth

the Ordainer, the All-Wise. We have chosen ‘the Greater’ after ‘the Most Mightiest, as decreed by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.

Although in the last will of Baha’u’llah, “The Book of My Covenant”, Abbas  Effendi was willed as a favor on him to occupy a great position, whereby he was clothed with the role of his Father, and on him was hung all the glory of his Father’s house, yet God had chosen as a command from all knowing all wise, his brother Mohammed Ali Effendi Ghusne Akbar to occupy the same position, after Abbas Effendi. Now, why had God appointed both brothers to occupy the same position one after the other..? Because the knowledge of God realized that the first appointed one Abbas Effendi, will not perform the function of that position. So it was necessary to appoint the Second brother Mohammed Ali Effendi that the function of that Great position may be fully performed.

What is the function of that Great position..? It is to impart to mankind the message of the most High to free them from the bonds of ignorance, through the teachings which were revealed in the Utterances of Baha’u’llah.

And as much as Abbas Effendi is claiming Divinity, he was so busy in his own teachings to support his claims, that he could not pay any attention nor has any time to promulgate the teachings of the Father as his writings and epistles and those of his followers bear witness.

But his brother Mohammed Ali Effendi, who was chosen after Abbas Effendi, claims nothing what so ever for himself. He declared that he is no more nor less than a finger-post pointing to Baha’u’llah and to His teachings, which suffice the whole world.

The Difference between the two Branches

Ghusne Akbar Vs Ghusne Azaam

Mohammed Ali Effendi (Ghusne Akbar)

Abbas Effendi (Ghusne Azam)

He tried to save the faith by asking to have meeting with Abbas Effendi.

He refused all sort of communication with his brothers.

He took care of entire family of Baha’u’llah, and stayed with them.

He ex-communicated the entire family of Baha’u’llah and moved with his wife and children to palace of Baha’u’llah

He focused in teachings of his Father Baha’u’llah and spread the awareness of faith.

He kept aside teachings of his Father and was busy in bragging about himself.

He took care of ailing Aghsan Ziya”u’llah Effendi as per instruction of his father “to take care of Aghsan.”

He abandoned his ailing brother and not attended his burial ceremony even told his followers to celebrate the death.

When Abbas Effendi stopped there monthly expenses he took care of family and borrowed money from friends to feed the family of Baha’u’llah.

He stopped their monthly expenses and kept all money and gift which was pouring from all over the world for himself and his children.

He was humbly meeting all the guest who use to visit tomb of Baha’u’llah.

He use to asked the people not to meet his brothers, and used to uttered bad words about them.

He never uttered single bad words about Abbas Effendi.

He called them Violator, covenant breaker, Mole, black ship.

He saved the widow of Zia’u’llah Effendi.

He tried to abduct the widow of his late brother

He arranged livelihood and house for Khadimullah Mirza Agha Jaan a servant of Baha’u’llah.

He beat him and threw him out of tomb of Baha’u’llah bare headed and bare footed.

He kept teachings and Tablet of Baha’u’llah intact.

He modified and destroyed most of Tablets of Baha’u’llah.

He called himself as finger-post pointing towards Baha’u’llah.

He declared himself as center of covenant, return of Jesus, interpreter and infallaible.

He respected the followers and helper of Baha’u’llah equally.

He supported to only those who praised him and accepted his claims.

He never excommunicated anybody in his entire life.

He excommunicated the entire family of Baha’u’llah.

He tried to resolve the issue through Lady Templeton, His Son Shua’u’llah, Qamar Behai, to sit and discussed the difference and have open debate in front of believers.

He refused all such invitation since he was aware that he will lose.

This is the reason we Unitarian Baha’is believe that Abbas Effendi failed in promoting the teachings of Baha’u’llah and created the hatreds and conflict in family and society, hence he was spiritually excommunicated and his brother Mohammed Ali Effendi became the leader of faith, as Baha’u’llah has predicted and nominated two of his Son as his successor, Abbas Effendi failed and Mohammed Ali Effendi succeeded.
