Baha’is are claiming for the number of its followers to be increased everyday; while it is never be said that where and in which lands they are busy attracting people and fighting against religions managed by the universal house of justice.
In one of the most important sites of Baha’ism called “Baha’i faith”, a long list of poor African and Asia countries has been mentioned: India, Kenya, Congo, Philippines, Zambia, South Africa, Bolivia, Tanzania, Uganda, Chad, Pakistan, and Myanmar.
Supposing these figures and census are true, we realize that all countries except America are nearly or extremely poor. Concerning America, one point is important. A great number of the Baha’is are the immigrants who have dispatched from Iran and other pants of the world. They had been able to form a family and proselytize to increase their population. However, other countries even India are poor.
Glance at the history of the emergence of Babism and Baha’ism. At that time, Iran resembled the countries listed in the chart. Poverty had expanded across the country. The health conditions were severely low and the contagious diseases had been outbroken. People had been practically disappointed with their futures. They were waiting for a savior to save them out of the calamity based on their Islamic beliefs. In that circumstance, announcing Babism could be believable for people.
Such condition and strategy was applied by the universal house of justice in poor countries and has still been continued. The educational activities and the activities related to health and public utility in the poorest countries are being done along with proselytizing the Baha’i faith. Alongside such activities, building dawning places of the mention of God in various regions can make the universal house of justice be able to have a savior among poor people.
