مَن یَقرء آیة من آیاتی لخیرٌ لَه مِن اَن یَقرء کتب الاولین و الاخرین
“A person who recites a verse of my verses is better than reciting all first and last books.[1]”
However, contrary to the Excellency Baha’s claim, he has copied many of his teachings and commandments out of other religions and schools in an imperfect manner. For instance he has copied the following verse from the holy Quran:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ(نور/27)
“O’ ye who believe! Enter not houses other than your own without first announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof. That is better for you, that ye may be heedful.”[Al-Nur/27]
And the Excellency Baha says:
"ایّاکُم اَن تدخلوا بیتاً عند فقدان صاحبه الا بعد اذنه تمسّکوا بالمعروف فی کُلّ الاحوال و لا تکونن مِنَ الغافلین"
“don’t enter in the house whose owner has been lost unless you are allowed. Do nice deeds universally and don’t be of the negligent.[2]”
Yes, as you paid attention, the phrase “عند فقدان صاحبه” is completely irrelevant to the speaker’s aim. Because the Excellency Baha was going to prevent people to enter into others’ houses without permission imitating the verse from the holy Quran. He has used the word “فقدان” which means “being lost” or “lose” in Arabic to show he is illiterate. The word “فقدان” Which means “to lose” or “being lost” is irrelevant to “not being” !!!
The Babi and Baha’i leaders couldn’t defend themselves against the scholars of the divine religions especially Muslims.
They were always being excommunicated by the scholars.
