Shoghi’s critics must have thought he had betrayed his grandfather’s legacy.

As time went on, the pressures from the Covenant-breakers increased. At the same time, there were some whom Abdu’l-Bahá had befriended, but who did not take Shoghi Effendi’s leadership seriously because they thought he could never manage to govern the affairs of the Faith after Abdu’l-Bahá. These people created an uneasy situation within the Family...

Shortly before His ascension Bahá’u’lláh expelled Mírzá Áqá Ján from His presence due to his exorbitant financial demands, and reluctance to explain to the believers that Tablets revealed in his handwriting were dictated to him by Bahá’u’lláh, and that he played no role in the composition of Tablets. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá reportedly interceded on his behalf...

Shoghi Effendi did not translate that part in the Gleanings

Bahá'u'lláh writes in a tablet called Lawh-i-‘Abdu’r-Razzáq [1]:O people of Bahá, drink this wine of everlasting life openly in the name of the Beloved, the Most Glorious, despite the enmity of the adversaries. Leave these artificial, dung-beetle-like forms to occupy themselves with the impurities of their own loathsome, foul insinuations. By My life,...

Splits, divisions among the Babis and nominating Azal as a head, and receiving contributions in Azal’s name from believers.

The millenarian Bābī movement roiled Iran (1844–1850) under the leadership of Sayyid ‘Alī Muhammad Shīrāzī, the “Bāb” or supernatural gateway to God (Amanat 1989). After the Bāb was executed in 1850, the leadership of the movement became extremely fragmented, with many claimants to Bābī leadership and to divinity putting themselves forward (MacEoin...

Azal was an idolater but Baha'u'llah helped build Azal up for a “secret reason” (hikmat).

...he does insist that the bonds with any loved ones (such as a brother) who rejected Bahā’u’llāh’s cause in favor of Azal had from that moment been severed. He defines Azal as having previously been the embodiment of only one of God’s names, and to prefer one of the divine names over God himself would be a form of idolatry. He redefines religious...

Apocalyptic concerns and the Baha'i faith

‘Abdu’l-Bahá had predicted World War I and called it “Armageddon,”…a number of Baha’is in the 1950s evidently had apocalyptic concerns (Piff 2000, 122–30;Piff and Warburg 2003), the extent of these beliefs is unknown, and there is no evidence that such concerns dominated the community as a whole (Collins 2002b, 10–11). By contrast, the small (mostly...

One disenchanted Baha'i explains the relationship between Baha'is and Israel

I learned a lot about the history of the Baha'i faith in that region. The Guardian of the Baha'i faith once wrote a letter to the United Nations as a Palestinian. However, today, the only Palestinian Baha'is are labeled as "covenant breakers." It seems that the Baha'i community has taken a side in this conflict. I encourage you to read more about the...

One non-denominational Baha'i states:The Huquq was supposed to be a wealth tax to be used to reduce wealth inequality.The UHJ has Huquq'u'llah entirely wrong. The first thing is Baha'u'llah ordained Houses of Justice in every city, not a single worldwide version. Secondly, they are to be the ones who receive the Huquq payment. When Baha'u'llah was...
