In his books, Mirza LI Muhammad Bab writes about Imam of the time (P.H.):
“The 12th Imam is Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan (P.H.).”
He write in the book “the interpretation of the cow surah page 123: “God has bestowed the 12th Imam a long lifetime and he is still alive.”
He writes in the book “the interpretation of Yusuf Surarh: “God has desired for the interpretation of Yusuf Surarh to be given me by Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan Al-Askari.”
In the book “the private Asrarul Athar, Vol.1, page 181, it is said narrated by Ali Muhammad Bab: “I have been accused I have claimed for inspiration, Imamate, prophethood and Babism. Damn to them. May God kill them for such accusation. Know, after the Excellency Muhammad (peace be upon him), no prophet will come. The 12the Imam is Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan Al-Askari, too. Nobody is gate for him except for four special deputies. O’ God, I hate these accusations.”
Of course, the above-mentioned statement have been stated by Ali Muhammad Bab fearlessly and with absolute consciousness and belief. It is proven by Mirza Hussein Ali’s statement in the book “the Iqan”: “Although everybody disagreed him, he wasn’t afraid of anybody else and claimed.”
Anyway, again the Baha’i friends say Mirza Ali Muhammad is the Imam of the rime (P.H.)!!!
