     Bahaismiran:

the first difference happened after Bahaullah’s death inside the Baha’i community was hiding some parts of Bahaullah’s will called Ahdi book by Abbas Effendi, the writing written by Bahaullah’s handwriting and had been given to Abdul Baha.

     The details are as follows: 9 days after Bahaullah’s death, Abbas Effendi elected nine people of his relative and Bahaullah’s disciples including the Excellency Qazvini and opened this will for them; but he covered some parts of it by a blue sheet of paper and gave it to them to see. One of those nine people called Agha Reza Shirazi glanced and reviewed from the beginning to the part covered by the blue sheet of the paper. At that time, Abbas Effendi told those people: “A part of the writing has been covered due to especial reason. Because the permit for the complete publication is impossible due to the time. That day in the afternoon, Majduddin Effendi recited the will to the part I mentioned before again in Bahaullah’s resting place for a group including Bahaullah’s sons, Bab’s relatives, those who had been exiled and the Baha’is residing in Akka and the visitors.

     Everybody, knew that the materials of Ahdi book are related to this community; Abdul Baha wasn’t right to read a part of it and hide another one! Because; undoubtedly, if that part were suitable for publishing, Bahaullah himself wouldn’t write it.

     Bahaullah’s sons are responsible for carrying out and executing the father’s orders based on the will ones. They mustn’t make a part of open and some parts of it hidden because the Excellency Bahaullah says: “O’ divine Beauty! I have spent my body and spirit to elevate the word and advance God’s order and faith. If I observe that one of my sons behave against the divine will, I will surely excommunicate him. Certainly, I am able and powerful.”

     Abbas Effendi’s claim

     The other difference is that our great superior has clearly stated in the holy texts that no new emergence would happen before a complete one thousand years. If a person poses such claim before finishing one thousand year period of time, the claim will be null and be refuted.

مَن یَدعی امراً قبلَ اِتمامِ الف سنه کامله انه کذابٍ مفترٍ... مَن یَاوّل هذه الایه او یُفَسِّر به غیر ما نزّل فی الظاهر انّه محرومٌ مِنْ روح الله و رحمتِه التی سبقت العالمین."

     However, when Abbas Effendi gained power, he claimed a position and rank for himself publicly which was similar to the special characteristics of a new manifestation. Even, he claimed for being Jesus, the son of God publicly in America. He also called himself as the promised Bahram in India.

     He says in one of his writings: “God’s emergence has been referred and manifested in this perceptible place (means his essence) in its entirety and nobody is allowed to do any measure and movement unless after his permission.” He has also said: “Everybody who invites people to my name, he/she will surely be from me!”

     Nevertheless, our superior Bahaullah has said: “Everybody who claims for each kind of manifestation and emergence, he/she will surely be of the misled; although he/she is right and holds the river stream and crush the rocks and control winds and clouds.”

     Abbas Effendi says: “The purpose and aim of everybody is the product of the pen and the reason and proof is the thing which is being said by this tongue!”

     However, Bahaullah says in Persian: “What is sought by this oppressed person is justice and equality. Although they don’t tend to listen to my speech; but they must pay attention to what has been manifested by this slave. After the rising of Bayan sun from God’s heaven horizon, if there were somebody to explain, we wouldn’t expose ourselves to be accused by people.”
