To all proselytizers and thinkers of Baha’ism: Don’t you consider the book “Aqdas” of the Excellency Baha is the mother of books of Baha’is and a book sent down by the Lord to direct human beings?! Definitely, the answer will be positive; but how is it possible for the Baha’ism organization not to allow the Aqdas book to be translated into other languages except Farsi?!
According to the claim by the proselytizers, the first translation of the book Aqdas has been published briefly in 1973 into English language and in 1992 the universal house of justice has offered the complete translation of the book into English language.[1]
Since 1911 when the Excellency Abdul Baha has started his trips to the west until 1992, there is a 80 years gap! What had prevented for two Baha’i generations to be deprived of studying the mother of book of Baha’ism?! Why has the brief texts of the book been published 19 years before it is completely translated?! What have been the omitted materials?! Maybe, they will answer one of the reasons is that the Excellency Bahaullah believed that translating the book “Aqdas” will cause differences. As he has said: “Although, the translator’s intention has been benevolent; but such affairs will create differences.[2]” The forged prophet of Baha’ism has banned the book “Aqdas” to be translated into Persian in order for the Iranian Baha’is to learn Arabic: “It won’t be praised and acceptable for the Arabic works to be translated into Persian language; especially the commandments of the book “Aqdas”.[3]
It is logical for a forged Persian prophet’s works to be in Persian language. Hoe is possible for a prophet to be arisen in Persia; but his book is in Arabic language and not to be allowed to be translated into Persian language[4]?!
The real answer is that the Excellency Bahaullah banned his works to be translated into Persian and other language in order for his weakness not to be exposed.
