The equality of the means of livelihood based on Ali Muhammad Bab’s viewpoint!

Bahaismiran:

Baha’ism considers the equality of the means of livelihood as one of its teachings; while Ali Muhammad Shirazi and the Baha’ism leaders haven’t been bound with the teaching.

     The Baha’i leaders have commanded that: “It will be better for equality to be established and equality means some rules and regulations must be constituted to prevent some people to become extremely wealthy.[1]

     Contrary to this teaching, in his Bayan book, Ali Muhammad Shirazi has ordered for his opponents’ properties to be confiscated:

 

"الباب الخامس مِن الواحد الخامس فی بیان حکم اخذ اموال الذین لایدنیون بالبیان"[2]

     “Chapter one out of unit one is concerning about confiscating the properties of those who haven’t believed in Bab and if they believe restore them again except in the lands where the confiscating of properties is impossible.” Is it contrary to the principle of equality of means of livelihood?! Or the Excellency Bab is going to establish the equality of the means of livelihood by levying the opponents!

     Maybe the Baha’is answer they have announced the Bayan boon as abolished. Then we confront the forged prophet of Baha’is statement which rejected the abolishment of the Bayan book:

 

"فوالذی روحی و ذاتی بیده حرفٌ مِن البیان لا حبُّ عندی عن کل مَن فی السموات و الارض."[3]

     I swear by the one to whom belong my soul and essence, one word of the book Bayan is more popular than whatsoever in the heavens and the earth.”

     Anyway, how is it possible for a commandment to be popular for a person; but a teaching contrary to it is attributed to him?! Are such claims used for proselytizing? Definitely, the answer will be positive which commandment and principles of Baha’ism are practicable in the society? The equality of men and women is the most proselytizing slogan in Baha’ism. As said continually, it isn’t practicable in the so-called Bab’s commandments, too. Is it included in inheritance. Equality isn’t existent even in the place of women’s residence in city and village. Woman’s dowry is gold in the city; but is silver in village. Is it equality?!!!
