The Baha’i leaders introduced the independent investigation of truth as their sectarian belief foundation. Abdul Baha says in this regard: “The first teaching of the Excellency Bahaullah is the independent investigation of truth. Human being must investigate the truth and leave imitation. “[the Sermons, vol.2, p. 144]. However, it is interesting to be noted that this is a mere slogan because the Baha’is aren’t allowed to investigate about other beliefs and listen to opponents’ words.
