The existence and applying three fundamental beliefs in Islam and particularly in Shiism prevents the extensive dominance of the Colonialism on Muslims. Consequently, the worldwide dominance system of government was going to vanish these teachings aiming their dominance expansion. So, the Baha’ism movement has tried to vanish these teachings. These three fundamental beliefs are as follows:

1)   Fighting against tyranny: Based on the Quranic verses and the Islamic teachings, Muslim are obliged to fight against tyranny[1]. However, the Baha’ism Colonial creed has issued an order against this principle in order for its lords to dominate on the communities. As Abdul Baha has stated:
