Sobhi was considered as one of the trustful and the best disciples of Abdul Baha and was respected by the Baha’is. All Baha’is envied him due to his position and rank. After residing with Abdul Baha for 12 years and serving honestly, he turned against the deviant cult of Baha’ism and turned to Islam after Abdul Baha died and Shoqi became his successor. He has written several books rejecting the cult.

     In the book “The father’s message”, he is writing narrated by Seyyed Asadullah Qomi on page 14: “In 1300 A.H. (Azar 1261-Mehr 1262), several Baha’is were arrested and put into prison. I was one of them. I asked the proselytizers of this group something that I feel ashamed to retell. Most Baha’is turned against Baha’ism in prison and were freed except for Muhammad Reza Muhammad Abadi Yazdi and Seyyed Mahdi Deheji. Muhammad Reza was a steadfast Baha’i and was speaking about Baha’ism openly and wasn’t afraid of anybody else.

     The other day, Kamran Mirza (1307-1235), the governor of Tehran city asked him: “what do you think about Hussein Ali Nouri?” He answered: As he’s said, I know him as God. He asked: Do all Baha’i Babis say this statement or you yourself say it? He answered: Everybody agree with me. Meantime, Kamran Mirza ordered for some other prisoners to be brought to his presence. He asked in the presence of Mulla Muhammad Reza: What do you think about Mirza Hussein Ali? They said: He is one of the creatures of God and is God’s slave. Kamran Mirza turned to Muhammad Reza and said: You see they are saying another thing, and you are saying differently. Is there divergence among you? He said: No, there isn’t. Baha’is are two groups. The Baha’is gathered around samovar and the Baha’is around the execution field. These are the Baha’is gathered around samovar. When Samovar is boiling, they are gathering around it and saying the words I say here; that is, they assume Hussein Ali Nouri as God and creator of the world; but now when it is the time for being executed, they assume him as God’s slave.

     When Farhad Mirza, Muhammad Shah’s brother became of the issue that Muhammad Reza considers Baha as God, he troubled and said: You consider the  one who was doing foul plays in Shemiran locality in the presence of me. He isn’t deserved as Gods slave let alone being God.

     Now, the question is that: which kind of the Baha’is are the then ones after passing 180 years of Ali Muhammad Bab’s claim? Are they the Baha’is gathered around samovar or around the execution field?
