From brothers to enemies
By Dale Husband
To
me, one of the most damning things about Baha'i history is the way the
family of Baha'u'llah repeatedly tore itself apart over the "Covenant"
of the Faith. The first such split was between Baha'u'llah and his
brother Mirza Yahya (Sub-i-Azal). Yahya had been appointed by the Bab to
lead the Babi community, but after a few years it became increasingly
clear to most Babis that Baha'u'llah was the better leader and so when
he declared himself to be the one the Bab had foretold would come after
him, most of the Babis promptly became Baha'is. Perhaps ALL of them
might have done so if Mirza Yahya had not rejected Baha'u'llah. In the
Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha'u'llah condemned his brother for his alleged
disloyalty.
Say: O source of perversion! Abandon thy willful blindness, and speak forth the truth amidst the people. I swear by God that I have wept for thee to see thee following thy selfish passions and renouncing Him Who fashioned thee and brought thee into being. Call to mind the tender mercy of thy Lord, and remember how We nurtured thee by day and by night for service to the Cause. Fear God, and be thou of the truly repentant. Granted that the people were confused about thy station, is it conceivable that thou thyself art similarly confused? Tremble before thy Lord and recall the days when thou didst stand before Our throne, and didst write down the verses that We dictated unto thee—verses sent down by God, the Omnipotent Protector, the Lord of might and power. Beware lest the fire of thy presumptuousness debar thee from attaining to God’s Holy Court. Turn unto Him, and fear not because of thy deeds. He, in truth, forgiveth whomsoever He desireth as a bounty on His part; no God is there but Him, the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Bounteous. We admonish thee solely for the sake of God. Shouldst thou accept this counsel, thou wilt have acted to thine own behoof; and shouldst thou reject it, thy Lord, verily, can well dispense with thee, and with all those who, in manifest delusion, have followed thee. Behold! God hath laid hold on him who led thee astray. Return unto God, humble, submissive and lowly; verily, He will put away from thee thy sins, for thy Lord, of a certainty, is the Forgiving, the Mighty, the All-Merciful.
A
generation later, Baha'u'llah sought to prevent history from repeating
itself. So in his will and Testament, titled, the Book of the Covenant,
he commanded:
The Will of the divine Testator is this: It is incumbent upon the Aghsán, the Afnán and My Kindred to turn, one and all, their faces towards the Most Mighty Branch. Consider that which We have revealed in Our Most Holy Book: “When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces towards Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root.” The object of this sacred verse is none except the Most Mighty Branch [‘Abdu’l‑Bahá]. Thus have We graciously revealed unto you Our potent Will, and I am verily the Gracious, the All-Bountiful. Verily God hath ordained the station of the Greater Branch [Muḥammad ‘Alí] to be beneath that of the Most Great Branch [‘Abdu’l‑Bahá]. He is in truth the Ordainer, the All-Wise. We have chosen “the Greater” after “the Most Great,” as decreed by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
Thus
the two eldest sons of Baha'u'llah were expected to work together to
lead and promote the Faith. But the interesting thing about children is
that they will follow what their parents DO or DID rather than what they
say or said. So Abdu'l-Baha excluded Mirza Muhammad Ali from having any
rank in the Faith and ultimately appointed his grandson Shoghi Effendi
as his successor, thus badly damaging the credibility of Baha'u'llah
himself. Abdu'-Baha wrote in his own Will and Testament:
O ye that stand fast and firm in the Covenant! The Center of Sedition, the Prime Mover of mischief, Mírzá Muḥammad ‘Alí, hath passed out from under the shadow of the Cause, hath broken the Covenant, hath falsified the Holy Text, hath inflicted a grievous loss upon the true Faith of God, hath scattered His people, hath with bitter rancor endeavored to hurt ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá and hath assailed with the utmost enmity this servant of the Sacred Threshold. Every dart he seized and hurled to pierce the breast of this wronged servant, no wound did he neglect to grievously inflict upon me, no venom did he spare but he poisoned therewith the life of this hapless one. I swear by the most holy Abhá Beauty and by the Light shining from His Holiness, the Exalted One (may my soul be a sacrifice for Their lowly servants), that because of this iniquity the dwellers in the Pavilion of the Abhá Kingdom have bewailed, the Celestial Concourse is lamenting, the Immortal Maids of Heaven in the All-Highest Paradise have raised their plaintive cries and the angelic company sighed and uttered their moanings. So grievous the deeds of this iniquitous person became that he struck with his axe at the root of the Blessed Tree, dealt a heavy blow at the Temple of the Cause of God, deluged with tears of blood the eyes of the loved ones of the Blessed Beauty, cheered and encouraged the enemies of the One True God, by his repudiation of the Covenant turned many a seeker after Truth aside from the Cause of God, revived the blighted hopes of Yaḥyá’s following, made himself detested, caused the enemies of the Greatest Name to become audacious and arrogant, put aside the firm and conclusive verses and sowed the seeds of doubt. Had not the promised aid of the Ancient Beauty been graciously vouchsafed at every moment to this one, unworthy though he be, he surely would have destroyed, nay exterminated the Cause of God and utterly subverted the Divine Edifice. But, praised be the Lord, the triumphant assistance of the Abhá Kingdom was received, the hosts of the Realm above hastened to bestow victory. The Cause of God was promoted far and wide, the call of the True One was noised abroad, ears in all regions were inclined to the Word of God, His standard was unfurled, the ensigns of Holiness gloriously waved aloft and the verses celebrating His Divine Unity were chanted. Now, that the true Faith of God may be shielded and protected, His Law guarded and preserved and His Cause remain safe and secure, it is incumbent upon everyone to hold fast unto the Text of the clear and firmly established blessed verse, revealed about him. None other transgression greater than his can be ever imagined. He (Bahá’u’lláh) sayeth, glorious and holy is His Word:—“My foolish loved ones have regarded him even as my partner, have kindled sedition in the land and they verily are of the mischief-makers.” Consider, how foolish are the people! They that have been in His (Bahá’u’lláh’s) Presence and beheld His Countenance, have nevertheless noised abroad such idle talk, until, exalted be His explicit words, He said:—“Should he for a moment pass out from under the shadow of the Cause, he surely shall be brought to naught.” Reflect! What stress He layeth upon one moment’s deviation: that is, were he to incline a hair’s breadth to the right or to the left, his deviation would be clearly established and his utter nothingness made manifest. And now ye are witnessing how the wrath of God hath from all sides afflicted him and how day by day he is speeding towards destruction. Ere long will ye behold him and his associates, outwardly and inwardly, condemned to utter ruin.
And then he said:
O my loving friends! After the passing away of this wronged one, it is incumbent upon the Aghṣán (Branches), the Afnán (Twigs) of the Sacred Lote-Tree, the Hands (pillars) of the Cause of God and the loved ones of the Abhá Beauty to turn unto Shoghi Effendi—the youthful branch branched from the two hallowed and sacred Lote-Trees and the fruit grown from the union of the two offshoots of the Tree of Holiness,—as he is the sign of God, the chosen branch, the Guardian of the Cause of God, he unto whom all the Aghṣán, the Afnán, the Hands of the Cause of God and His loved ones must turn. He is the expounder of the words of God and after him will succeed the first-born of his lineal descendents.
Thus the intentions of Baha'u'llah were completely thwarted by his own eldest son!
Decades
later, long after Shoghi Effendi had become Guardian, he repeated the
pattern yet again, this time turning on one of his brothers, and
ulimately ALL his close relatives. This message from him is especially
disturbing:
Faithless brother Hussein, already abased through dishonorable conduct over period of years followed by association with Covenant-breakers in Holy Land and efforts to undermine Guardian’s position, recently further demeaned himself through marriage under obscure circumstances with lowborn Christian girl in Europe. This disgraceful alliance, following four successive marriages by sisters and cousins with three sons of Covenant-breaker denounced repeatedly by Abdu’l-Baha as His enemy, and daughter of notorious political agitator, brands them with infamy greater than any associated with marriages contracted by old Covenant-breakers whether belonging to family of Muhammad-Al or Badi’u’llah.
Such elitist, bigoted GARBAGE!
Today,
there are NO descendants of Baha'u'llah in the Baha'i community founded
by their own ancestor; all of them have been designated "Covenant
breakers" and shunned by most Baha'is because of what their ancestors
allegedly did in refusing to submit to the Baha'i leadership in the
distant past. This, BTW, goes against a fundamental standard of justice
as found in the Bible.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. – Deuteronomy 24:16
No
religion that operates in such a hypocritical, oppressive fashion
against the Prophet-Founder's own descendants should be accepted. Let's
tear it down!
Baha'is side with the Shiites in the Sunni-Shiite dispute among Muslims, condemning the Sunnis for rejecting the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.The Baha'i leaders themselves expelled and continue to reject to this day all the physical descendants of Baha'u'llah himself, calling them all "covenant-breakers", a charge nearly all of them deny.
What a disgrace!
"Coronavirus is a punishment from Baha'u'llah" - Farzam Kamalabadi
Farzam with Ruhiyyih Khanum |
Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, many of us would have heard this name. A well-connected, global fixer who has successfully brokered many international deals, many of them shady. Enjoying personal friendship with many heads of States, he knows how to pull the strings. Combined with his connects is a shrewd business brain and extreme loyalty to the Baha’i Faith, which is the religion he practices.
Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, is so influential that he is privy to intelligence and arms deals of few countries. In fact he was deported from the UAE, perhaps as a fall-out of his recent souring of relations with the Sheikh. This background should suffice to estimate the personality.
Farzam Kamalabadi in Bahrain |
Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, has shown his true colors recently in an interview, where he expresses an opinion on the spread of the dreadful COVID-19. At a time when entire humanity is beseeching God Almighty to protect mankind and all Governments are co-operating and implementing steps to prevent spread, Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, mocking US President on his statement that “the Govt of US is in control”, conveys that mankind is unaware that COVID-19 is the chastisement of Baha’u’llah (prophet of Baha’i Faith) to the Mankind and more chastisement and difficulties will follow (refer the following video)
Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, it is clear, is only reflecting the tenets of his Baha’i Faith viz :
- Baha’i Faith ridicules the followers of other faiths to the extent of being pleased with their sufferings. But if any misfortunes befell them they start shouting from the roof tops. “Help Help We are being persecuted.”
- Baha’i Faith ridicules all Governments, since they believe and work for the breaking of all institutes and ideologies and establishing a Baha’i inspired New World Order, the Baha’i Super-State.
- All the public relations that followers of the Baha’i Faith maintain with the rich and powerful is with the above motive.
By ridiculing the sufferings of Mankind from COVID-19, Farzam Kamalabadi has taunted China the worst effected country in this calamity and President of United States, Mr. Trump. Not realizing that due to these two countries he has become a business icon.
It is High time that the world realizes the devilish nature of the Baha’i Faith and its followers and is cautious in dealing with them.
The entire humanity is requested to continue their efforts in eradicating COVID-19 and pray for all those affected. Together we will ensure that Viruses like Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, do not succeed in their devilish plans.
Stay safe.
