Question: Why have the Baha’i leaders divided human beings contrary to the slogan of the oneness of human world?!
Definitely, the Baha’i proselytizers will answer: No, our leaders have considered all human beings as equal and believed that God has differentiated among humans concerning grace and mercy; as Abdul Baha has declared: “God has created all the world by the soil and He has also created all from one element and progency in one earth under one sky having the same common sensations. There aren’t any differences… even grace and mercy.[1]”
However, it should be said that why has Abdul Baha divided woman into spiritual and physical ones and has assumed physical ones deprived of God’s mercy if there isn’t any difference in grace and mercy:
اَلنِّسَاءُ مُنْقَسِمَه اِلَی قِسْمَینِ: قِسْمٌ مِنْهُنِّ جِسْمَانِیه هَؤلَاءِ لَیسَ لَهُنَّ نَصِیبٌ مِن مَوَاهِبِ رَبِّکِ وَ قِسْمٌ مِنْهُنَّ رُوْحَانِیه
“Women are divided into two kinds, the physical ones who are deprived of God’s talents and the other kind is the spiritual ones[2].
