Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri’s concerning being uneducated was a big lie
Bahaismiran:
One of the issues posed in the prophets’ mission is that prophets were illiterate. In Babism and Baha’ism, Ali Muhammad Shirazi known as Bab and Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri known as Bahaullah claimed to be illiterate.
Regarding the word illiterate and Ali Muhammad Bab who claimed to be illiterate, we investigate various articles[1]. In this article we try to investigate Hussein Ali Baha known as Bahaullah who claimed to be illiterate. Hussein Ali Baha has claimed to be prophet several times because he wanted to prove his claim as prophet based on the previous prophets who possessed the divine science. He has claimed that:
“I haven’t learned any human sciences and haven’t gone to any school. You can ask my fellow citizen to believe my word.â€[2]
He has also said: “Surely, we haven’t studied people’s books and aren’t aware of their sciences. When we wanted to remind the scholars and sages statements everything would appear and clear for us. We would see and write.[3]
Baha’is try to prove Bahaullah’s claim invoking these materials; but there are several contradictions regarding this claim by paying attention to Baha’ism books and works:
1) Abdul Hussein Ayati writes in Al-Kawakeb-al-Dorrieh: “He strengthened his importance when he read and wrote at childhood. When he became mature, he introduced himself in assemblies of ministers, dignitaries, scholars by wisdom, speech and conscience.â€[4]
2) In the Iqan book, it has been written about Hajj Karim Khan Kermani: “I don’t like to comment on others’ books; but because some people have asked about him, I deem it my duty to investigate his books to answer those who asked! I couldn’t find his Arabic books! Eventually I found his book called “Ershad-al-Uloum†… I studied it twice. There was also the story of the holy prophet’s ascension.â€[5]
3) Several questions are being posed:
a) How can Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri claim he possesses the divine science and calls himself illiterate while he needs books and referring to them to answer the questions?
b) Bahaullah claims that the book content are clear for him. Why does he say the book materials aren’t clear for him without studying?
c) Hussein Ali Nouri claims that the content of the heavenly books are clear for him, why doesn’t he dominate on the most important one; that is, the holy Quran and writes the verses wrong?
Consequently, it will be clear that Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri hasn’t possessed the divine science. For this reason, it is proven that he hasn’t been illiterate. So, the prophecy claim by Bahaullah has also been a big lie.
