“When we want to speak about a social group, we should pay attention to issues around it, too. At the present time, we encounter a group called Baha’is. This group calls themselves as a religion and tries to introduce themselves as the Baha’i religion.” However, is their claim (being a religion) matched with the emergence of the cult or not? It should be said that: “There are many definitions for religion. Nevertheless, Ayatullah Tabatabaee defines religion as: Religion is a collection of knowledges; that is, religion must offer a collection of knowledge to the human community. The knowledge are as follows: The issues related to the mundane life, the forever life and the issues which clarify the human duty concerning commandments, morality and beliefs. In the deviant cult of Baha’ism we encounter the moral commandments and issues and the theological ones.

     He added: “we observe many challenges in Baha’ism teachings in commandments. Moralities and beliefs to which Baha’ism must answer. The investigations and studies show that Baha’ism don’t answer because it doesn’t basically have any answer.”

     Rouzbahani stated: “The second parameter which introduces religion is that religion is a collection of knowledge which is originated from a revelation source and possesses a prophet. However, the faith which negates God can’t be named and considered as religion.”

     He added: “In the Baha’ism cult, a person called Seyyed Ali Muhammad entitled Bab and another person called Hussein Ali Nouri entitled Bahaullah claimed for being prophets; but we have many challenges in proving their prophethood; that, these two people face different challenges in their attachments with the unseen source and the messages brought for people. They couldn’t prove their prophethoods.”

     Pointing out the structure of the sectarian community, he said: “The sectarian community is the one which is inactive; that is, the elements inside the organization don’t have any opportunity to express themselves or think in the society. They are influenced by the central organization of the cult even he/she is educated.”

     Pointing out having head at the top as a one of the features of the cults, Rouzbahani expressed:

     “Cults can’t be named as cults without having heads or leaders and they may be a deviated social movement; but when they have heads, they will be changed into cults.

     He said the third characteristics of the cults is their pyramid structures. He said the head stands at the top of the pyramid and the rest provide the head’s interests and ideas.

     Rouzbahani added: “In the cult, asking questions is forbidden. When a person is being attracted to a cult several facilities will be provided for him/her. Most of these people say they couldn’t leave the cult because they would be deprived of them.
