A Baha'i who practiced dissimulation

To add to the difficulty of identifying Najmābādī’s religious affiliation, we should mention here that his grandson considered him a secret Bahā’ī. For Afsaneh Najmabadi’s account of her father’s opinion of his own grandfather, Shakh Hādī Najmābādī being a Bahā’ī who practiced dissimulation, See Zohreh T. Sullivan, “Interview with Afsaneh Najmabadi,” in Exiled Memories: Stories of Iranian Diaspora (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2001), 73. There is nothing in Taḥrīr al-‘uqalā’ that would disprove this assertion.
