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?!
