Mrs. Raoufi vs Baha\'ism
Question and answers
Part (5)
Baha\'ismiran:
Q: Were Bab\'s orders and commandments executed?
A: No, it took 9 years from the beginning of the emergence title his disappearance. During this period of time, Bab\'s followers were just busy fighting with people and the then government. After Bab\'s execution, even his will wasn’t carries out in which Bab had stated Yahya Azal, Baha\'s brother was his successor. Baha became Bab\'s real successor and led Bab\'is leadership and called his followers as Baha\'is. He also abolished most of the commandments issued by Bab; for instance:
In his Aqdas book, page 22, Baha has mentioned that: \"God has exempted you from what\'s been sent down that states destroy all books. Moreover, we let you now study the sciences which are useful for you and not study the thing which ends in argument in speech. This will be good for you if you are knowledgeable.\"
Bab limited the marriage issue to the couples\' satisfactions and considered parent, lawyer and witness\'s satisfaction as invalid. However Baha abrogated this commandment. The Aqdas says: \"Marriage is restricted to the couples\' satisfactions in the Bayan Book and because we like friendship for the slaves after the two parties\' satisfactions, the parents\' ones are included in order for enmity not to be expanded among people. We follow other intentions in the commandment.\"
Bab said it was necessary for his followers not to increase the number of his books more than 19 ones. He himself divided them as follows: three volumes for his verses, three volumes for his incantations, 6 volumes for his interpretations and six volumes for his different sciences and techniques he edited.
Bab has continually declared that his religion would survive by 1031 years and everybody emerges during the above-mentioned period and bring book, verses or commandments, he/she won\'t be accepted.
Bab claimed he\'s written fast and considered it as his miracle.
Mirza Hussein Ali Baha decided to destroy Bab\'s writings after his claims as prophet and god; but unluckily the interpretation of Yusuf surah was available for people and couldn’t be vanished.
Some Ali Muhammad Shirazi\'s humorous commandments are as follows: \"Destroy all previous religious places, women must wear silk clothes and expose male strangers without cover, the women whose husbands are barren can be pregnant with male strangers out of marital relationships. Each impure things can be clean by reciting \"In the name of God, the cleanest of the cleanest.\"
Reading the interpretation of the Bayan\'s works Ali Muhammad Shirazi has clearly declared in the Arabic Bayan: \"I didn’t allow anybody to interpret except what I\'ve interpreted.[1]\"
Ali Muhammad Bab also confirmed in the Persian Bayan: \"it isn’t allowable for the Bayan book to be interpreted except what is interpreted by me.[2]\"
