Abdul Baha, the second leader of Baha’ism, needed to pretend his father’s made creed to be modern after his trip to Europe and being influenced by the western communities. So, he copied the divine religions, imitated the western think tanks and merged each other to offer teachings and attribute them to his father. Nevertheless, one of these teachings which was emphasized by the Baha’i proselytizers is the necessity of religion and wisdom conformity.
As Abdul Baha has said about his father’s this principle: “Religion must be in conformity with science. Because God has bestowed wisdom to human being in order to seek the reality of things. If the religious issues be against wisdom and science and it is so; because ignorance is the opposite of science and if we say religion is against wisdom, it means that religion is ignorance.[1]”
However, the made prophet of Baha’ism hasn’t believe in this teaching not only in action; but also in his speech. As Hussein Ali Nouri hasn’t considered wisdom as the criterion of understanding reality: “ Know, what’s perceived by your wisdom or higher than yours none is and won’t be the criterion for right recognition.[2]”
He has also prevented his followers against the irrational speech: “If he calls water as wine and calls the heaven as Earth and the light as fire, everybody must obey and nobody is allowed to oppose. A person who opposes, he/she will be of the rebellious ones.[3]”
Consequently, the teaching “the conformity between religion and wisdom hasn’t basically innovated by the forged prophet of Baha’ism. He hasn’t believed in such teaching at all.
