“O Handmaids of the Self-Sustaining Lord! Exert your efforts so that you may attain the honor and privilege ordained for women. Undoubtedly the greatest glory of women is servitude at His Threshold and submissiveness at His door; it is the possession of a vigilant heart, and praise of the incomparable God; it is heartfelt love towards other handmaids and spotless chastity; it is obedience to and consideration for their husbands and the education and care of their children; and it is tranquility, and dignity, perseverance in the remembrance of the Lord, and the utmost enkindlement and attraction”

 

Abdu’l Baha – Helen Bassett Hornby, Lights of Guidance: A Baha’i Reference File, chap. XVI, no. 749

 

Contrary to the popular Baha’i claim of Equality between man and woman, one can through the above given words clearly see that Abdul Baha Orders women to “obey” their husbands as though they were to be his property and chattel to be ordered around.

 

The Baha’i faith relegates woman to second class status, subordinate to men (whom they are bound to obey) and this is one of the realities which the PR machinery of UHJ of this supposed “faith” tries to hide. However a cursory glance on the original Baha’i writings clearly opens the truth.

 

This hypocritical stance of Baha’i leadership has proved that its an anti-feminist, sexist and misogynistic faith, trying to hide the truth.
