In one of his works, Shoqi Effendi predicts the third phase of the Baha’ism development by recognizing Baha’ism officially in the world and founding the Baha’i (divine) government and kingdom. (The Blessed orders addressing the east friends, pp. 501-503). Thus, two important notes are worthy to be noticed:
1) Since the foundation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Baha’ism cult has announced its opposition against it openly or secretly. (The Baha’i faith network) Because the Baha’ism is basically introducing itself as the serious opponent of the religious government and on the other side, it is ambitious to found a Baha’i kingdom (the faith news magazine, No. 3, p. 14)
2) Although the third leader of Baha’ism didn’t achieved his ambition of founding a Baha’i kingdom; but is this ambition compatible with the principle of “not intervening in policy”?! (Aqdas, p. 27)
