He has written in his letter of repentance: “…some have claimed me to be the gate for Imam of the Time; but I don’t claim so…”
“… a person who claim so will be in deviation and fire…”
The Baha’is have confirmed these statements, too and have written them in their reference books such as Kashful Qita by Abulfadh Mazandarani). However, the remarkable note is that Ali Muhammad Shirazi is the very man whom the Baha’is consider as the forerunner of Hussein Ali Nouri (Baha) and his creed. How is it possible for a person who regrets about his creed and prophethood to be accepted and respected by the Baha’is?! It can be concluded that the Baha’is have established their creed deviation and perversion.
However, Bab was the one who wrote the letter of repentance as he was endangered and regretted.
