Denis MacEoin says:
He (Baha'i scholar - Peter Smith) writes: ‘The writings of the Bab … and to a lesser extent those of Baha’u’llah are pervaded by Islamic concepts; and many Babi and Baha’i practices bear an obvious resemblance to those of Islam’ (Smith 1996: 13). Of course, this is rather misleading. Babi and Baha’i practices and, for that matter, writings and doctrines do not just resemble those found in Islam: they are derived, sometimes wholesale, from them. Baha’ism has two hajj pilgrimages, lesser pilgrimages (ziyarat) a month-long fast, ritual prayer (salat), a system of religious law (shari‘a) an aversion to homosexuality, a stress on the divine unity, and so on, and it is only right that these debts be recognised for what they are.
