Dissimulation based on the Baha’ism leaders’ view

Bahaismiran:

 The first Baha’ism faith guardian (Shoqi Effendi) believes that hiding belief and dissimulation is indecent and has ordered Baha’is to avoid it. As Ishraq Khawari writes narrating from Shoqi Effendi: “The third question has been asked about hiding belief. It is answered that hiding belief is indecent and against the rudiments of the faith.[1]” the author continued and claimed that the principle has been specified in all Baha’i leaders’ writings: “There are many divine tablets in this regard. Most tablets specify and point out this issue.[2]

     Studying the Baha’i works, we will understand that there has been a period of time before Shoqi Effendi when Abdul Baha has called it dissimulation days/ as we read narrated by Abdul Baha: “It must be done based on the book text because these days are the dissimulation ones.[3]

 

 

 

     In this case, if Abdul Baha has considered hiding belief allowable and has mentioned the days when Baha’is were dissimulating, how has Shoqi Effendi boycotted it?! Now, Baha’is must obey Baha and Abdul Baha or be the followers of Shoqi?! How has Ishraq Khawari mentioned about the explicitness of all Baha’is leaders’ writings while there were the days when the Baha’is were hiding their beliefs based on their leaders’ orders?! Isn’t it forging history?!
