Bahaismiran:
The Baha’i authors are trying to make a reason for the legitimacy of their leaders posing the following question: “Why have the Baha’i leaders had devotees if they have been unwarranted?” as we read: “The holy souls (the primary followers of Babism and Baha’ism) who have been saved since the beginning of the faith and have known the divine source and the holy souls who have grown up under the shadow of the divine religions and have been familiar with the holy books… They have figured out that the emergence of the Excellency Bahaullah is the emergence of the promised one of all religions and nations. Soul devotion is the witness for their statements.[1]”
However, it is necessary to be noted that giving legitimacy to the Baha’i leaders is done while:
Being killed in the path of belief isn’t a reason for that belief legitimacy. There have been many ignorant people who have been killed in their false belief who have been unwarranted according to even Baha’is. (like Takfiri movement). Consequently, if these Baha’i authors’ reasoning is being accepted, the Wahhabis who are killing sinless people are warranted.
