In Arabic language policy means educating individuals, correcting people, regulating affairs and rising to manage an individual or population's affairs.
Policy is one of the important tasks of prophets and messengers because the position of legislation and forging commandments are specially done by the Almighty God and the prophet himself fulfills the divine commandments and laws and educates people based on the same heavenly orders and regulates and manages the society affairs.
"هو الذی بعث فی الامیین رسولاً منهم یتلوا علیهم آیاته و یزکیهم و یعلمهم الکتاب و الحکمه..." [جمعه/2]
"He it is Who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messengers of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to teach them the Scripture and Wisdom…' [Al-Jumu'ah/2]
Yes, the prophet can't expel himself out of the environment and the affair movements and say: I don’t meddle with managing affairs, educating people and controlling tasks.
The previous messengers have started directing educating and preaching facts and inviting to right against the monarchs of their eras frankly and bravely. They have also criticized other's behaviors and deeds. No signs of the slightest fear, respectability and dissimulation have been observed by them.
The 19th century prophet says:
"لیس لاحدان یعترض علی الذین یحکمون علی العباد دعوا لهم ما عندهم"
"It is not allowed for anybody to oppose his/her then monarchs and governments and the Baha'is must let their governments alone.[1]' he also narrates in the commandment treasury: God has bestowed glory of the country to the kings. Nobody is allowed to commit an action against the idea of the country head.[2]"
It is narrated in that book by Abdul Baha: "The disciples must obey the Excellency king's orders and be obedient.[3]... "Everybody who meddle with the political affairs and tells something out of his/her duty, it will be enough for him/her not to be Baha'i. No other reason is needed.[4]"
Conclusions:
1) A Baha'i person mustn't possess platform of a party and creed because the king and the guardians of a country must advocate and obey the basic rules and rights of that country
2) Baha'is mustn't exist in some countries of the world because some countries of the world don’t believe in Baha'ism creed and don’t value it.
3) Bab and Baha themselves must have been liars because they have risen against country Constitution and fought against then monarch.
4) Most commandments and limitations of Bab and Baha were against the country policy and country monarch desire; such as the Universal house of justice and the Spiritual assembly which have been formed for regulating affairs, educating people and managing Baha'ism advancement.
5) The lack of meddling with policy is contrary to the meaning of prophethood because as said before the prophet himself 's duty is policy. It is stated in the book Majmaul Bahreyn describing the holy Imams (peace be upon them):
"انتم ساسه العباد"
And it is also narrated:
"الامام عارف بالسیاسه"
It is also stated in tradition:
"ثم فوض الی النبی امر الدین لیسوس عباده"
6) Contrary to his previous commandment, Mirza says:
"یا معشر الملوک انتم الممالیک قد ظهر المالک باحسن الطراز و یدعوکم الینفسه المهیمن القیوم"
"O' the earth kings, you are all slaves and your owner has become apparent and called you to obey hm. He is always observing and aware.[5]"
He has also said in Aqdas tablets:
"ایاکم ان تمنعکم شبهات الفقهاء او اشارات العرفا، او سطوه الامرا اقبلوا بوجوه نوراء و بالاستقامه الکبری"
"Let scholars' doubts and learned people's hints and the kings' powers avoid you paying attention to Baha'ism and resisting for the path.[6]"
It is concluded that the Excellency Mirza and also Abdul Baha haven’t understood the meaning of policy or they have said their speech to deceive the public.
