Master Heydar Rahim Pour: After Mosaddeq’s coup, Hajj Sheikh was very curious. He realized that he would be captured if he remained in Mashhad. He went to Tehran.
During Mosaddeq’s period of time, Falsafi (P.H.) was supporting Shah. He believed that if Shah left the country, the communists would win. We don’t want the king; but he amplified king’s policies. Ayatollah Khansari followed this policy, too. Consequently, Hajj Sheikh went to two people and said: You are close to the Shah, go and tell the Shah first that the Baha’is make people irreligious, then Russia makes irreligious people communists.
Let me stand against Baha’ism. Baha’ism is more hazardous for you that all. They went and mediated between the Shah and Sheikh Mahmoud that Hajj Sheikh Mahmoud doesn’t speak about policy, but he can campaign against Baha’ism and was campaigning perfectly and he educated top students each of whom was going to the Baha’i meetings to fight against them.
Asr-e-Islam: In your diary, you pointed out your special interests towards late Abed Zadeh, but after he was arrested and the adventures which were happened and made him put policy aside, you separated from late Abed Zadeh; although you were interested in him. However, you don’t have such a view to late Sheikh Mahmoud Halabi. Although late Halabi announced the separation of religion and policy, you still consider your devotion to him as fixed.
Master Hayder Rahim Pour: Halabi distanced himself from policy but campaigned; but Abed Zadeh distanced and put everything aside; additionally, he was cooperating with the king. He came to Mahdieh and turned on the chandeliers and annoyed the main guys. He said to me to set up a rug at the gate of the passage on 28th of Mordad. Then, I said it won’t be ended. These will be another thing after the rug; Then another thing. I came and branched Mahdieh.
However, Sheikh Mahmoud realized that he couldn’t work in Mashhad city. He would certainly be put into prison or listen to what they say. So, what did he do? He went to Tehran to see Khansari and Falsafi and said to them to say those words to the king. Then, he started good advertisement against Baha’ism.
Pay attention to deviation. When the system figured out that the association is growing widely, it started people to penetrate into the association. A group of billionaires and spent a huge amount of money. They penetrated into the guys. Sheikh Mahmoud was getting older. Now, the association was holding huge ceremonies. There were no good guys there. The association wasn’t Shaik’s, anymore. After the Sheikh, a philosophy master who had been teaching philosophy since Farah’s period of time was managing the association. Hajji Sheikh Mahmoud’s successor was against philosophy. This second association wasn’t related to the first one opened by Sheikh Mahmoud, at all.
Asr-e-Islam: what was the most important difference between the first and second line of association?
Master Rahim Pour: The first line of association was more political and was for Imam of the Time (P.H.)
