Bahaismiran: confessing the correction of their so-called Aqdas book, the Baha’i heads don’t allow it to be translated completely and correctly into other languages (especially the Persian language). Consequently, Francesco Ficicchia considers its reason as their speech which are against and contrary to the deceptive slogans of Baha’ism. He also assumed the book Aqdas as thistle in the Baha’ism organization eyes.

Because of the lake of divine origin, the forged prophet of Baha’ism’s words and works have been full of written and concept errors. Consequently’ the Baha’ism leaders have had to correct it over and over.

Thus, the book Aqdas hasn’t been excluded of these corrections and revisions as the Baha’is great book.[1] As we read in one of the confessions by the forged prophet of Baha’ism in the question and answer epistle:

“Most sent tablets were expanded nearby areas without comparison. They were continually recited in the presence of the Blessed Beauty in order for the self-interested not to oppose.[2]

However, the issue becomes more interesting when to be known that Shoqi Effendi doesn’t even let the great book of Baha’ism to be translated into the Persian language (that is the mother tongue of the claimant of Baha’ism):  It is not praised and accepted for the Arabic works to be translated into Persian language especially the commandments of the book Aqdas…[3]

Consequently, Francesco Ficicchia [4] investigated the reason for this commandment and introduced the weakness and absurdity of the book Aqdas and also the opposition of its paragraphs against the deceptive slogans of Baha’ism as the reason for prohibition of its publication. He has also mentioned that the book Aqdas is the biggest challenge for Baha’ism.

According to Ficicchia, the book Aqdas is the collection of hard rules which is complicated, strange and bizarre and belongs to the ancient west. It is unintelligible and intolerable. According to him the book Aqdas is written based on the proselytizing aims of the organization of Baha’ism and hasn’t been published in the west due to the existence of immoral rules in limitations and commandments section, unfair commandments of inheritance, bigamy, ignoring the social freedoms.

He believes that even Abdul Baha had to hide the forged prophet of Baha’ism’s teachings in his proselytizing activities in Europe and America. Ficicchia states that for these reasons the book Aqdas has been kept hidden from the new Baha’is. The book Aqdas resembles a thistle in the universal organization of Baha’ism eyes.[5]
