As some Baha’is confess this issue, there is no rule which prevents Baha’is to be employed in the governmental centers; but according to the labour law: “The Iranian people from every tribe are views the same by the law and their colors, races, languages and the like aren’t considered as the criteria for discriminations. All people are supported the same by the law whether male or female ones. Everybody is right to choose a job which isn’t against Islam and the public’s policies.[2]”
Consequently, there isn’t any law which prevents the Baha’is to be employeed in the governmental centers.
However, Being bound with Islam causes them to be claimants.[3] It should be said that mentioning and including such rule is quite natural because in a country where most of its population are Muslim it isn’t irrational for this obligation to be included. Of course, regulating, obeying and respecting the national and Islamic laws of the Iranian country, Baha’is can continue their activities because the leaders of this cult have ordered their followers to obey the countries’ laws and rules. For instance, the leader of the cult, the Excellency Hussein Ali Baha has said in the book “Aqdas” Nobody is allowed to oppose the rulers.[4]”
Baha’is can’t be employed in the governmental center because the Baha’is themselves possess a teaching called “the administrative excommunication” in their teachings: If a Baha’i person commits a crime which is against the Baha’i orders such as hiding his/her belief, the number of wives, … , S/he won’t be allowed to employed in the administrative systems.[5]”
