… one of my friends narrated I had gone to Egypt to visit Mr. Abul Fadhl Golpaygani, the author of Faraed, the book written in favour of Baha’ism. I saw him in a chamber earning a living with difficulty; meanwhile he added he didn’t forget he put a barbecue in front of himself with a repaired teapot and dirty cup. It was obvious that it hadn’t been washed foe ages. The cup had been put in a dirtier source. He was astonished in squatting posture. I greeted and said: Dear friend, why are sitting here having this posture?! What are you doing? He immediately recited the following verse:

"خسرالدنیا و الاخره ذلک هو الخسران المبین"

This is the verse recited by Omar ibn Sa’d Abi Waqqas when he was returning from Karbala. The time when Ibn Ziyad prevented to bestow him the governing of Ray city. Then he started crying and said:

"ان الافندی رجل سیاسی خدعنا بشیطنته"

Abbas Effendi was a political man. He deceived us. Now, I have understood to be misled. When I wanted to come back to Iran and decided to write against Baha’ism, they pretended that I was free; but in fact I was imprisoned. So, they forgot all my efforts and made me stopped here paying one and a half English pounds each month which sufficed me hard. He started to cry again. After a while, I saw him hit on his hands and say Ah! Ah! He sighed madly for a while. Then he got silent. He put his hands on his chest; so that, he put his right hand on his left knee and his left hand on his right arm. He moved his head and body to right and left furiously and didn’t say a word. I became tired; then, I left. He was too astonished to pay attention to me. Additionally, he might understand I left the room… .[1]

     Who is Abul Fadhl Golapaygani

     He is one of the distinguished people of the deviant cult of Baha’ism. His book called “Faraed” is one of the most detailed and the highest book in reasoning in Baha’ism. He has deviated and interpreted the Quranic verses and Islamic traditions. He has coincided the verses with the Baha’i faith using hundreds of ridiculous justifications.

     Golpaygani’s Faraed book has 731 pages in which there are 19 lines for each page in addition to 25 pages for tables of contents, and true and false charts. He has finished compiling the book at the night of Fetr Feast.

He has become Baha’i when he was 33 when he visited Fadhel Qaeeni (Nabil Akbar Agha, Mulla Ahmad’s son died in 1309 in Bokhara). He has proselytized Baha’ism. First Hussein Ali Nouri and then Abbas Effendi ordered him to write so-called reasoning books
