"In Turkey, a Bahá’í family invited a neighbour who had expressed an interest in the Faith to a fireside. She said, "I have devoted my life to helping people, to the benefit of all, and God, as a return, He led me to meet you. It is a prize for me." She and her two sons accepted the Faith."A pioneer in Hong Kong, sensing receptivity to the study of...

What makes Baha'u'llah a sham? by MirzaJan on Reddit
Inconsistent claims and stupid laws of the Bab. The crimes and evil acts of the Babis, including the use of drugs, weapons, etc.The greatest scandal after the death of the Bab was the hijacking of the Babi movement by Baha'u'llah. The conflict between the Azalis and the Baha'is. The 'high quality' of abuses and curses (also by Baha'u'llah) that even...

Some Baha'i scandals by Dale Husband
Here's a list of some scandals:The Violation of Abdu’l-Baha – Baha’u’llah in the The Kitáb-i-Ahd, or Book of the Covenant (his Will and Testament) appointed Abdu’l-Baha as his successor, but also stated that Abdu’l-Baha’s younger brother Mirza Muhammad Ali should be below him in rank and also be his immediate successor. Abdu’l-Baha disobeyed this commandment...

Those who were connected to Baha'u'llah
Baha'u'llah's bread-maker was titled as "The Bread-maker of God", his amanuensis was titled as "Khadim'u'llah (the servant of God)", his barber was titled as "the barber of God", his tailor was titled as, "the tailor of God", his friends were titled as "the friends of Go...
Descendants of Baha'u'llah gradually integrated themselves into Islamic society.
In 1948 a fierce political upheaval erupted in the Holy Land. The State of Israel was founded, bringing an end to the British Mandate. War broke out between Arabs and Jews and a great many Arabs fled the country. During this period Shoghi Effendi remained in Haifa and, in the face of great dangers and severe difficulties, carried on his work as usual,...
The Baha'i Covenant
...the degree to which "The Covenant" is fallacious has increased over time. During Abdul Baha's lifetime, he used "The Covenant" to refer to the idea that Baha'is should obey Baha'u'llah's Will at all costs. During Shoghi Effendi's time "The Covenant" meant Baha'is must disobey Baha'u'llah's Will in favor of Abdul Baha's Will and Testament of dubious...

A goal of the Bloomington conference is for every Baha’i to bring a friend of the Faith. To do this, though, the non-Baha’is need to be prepared for a truly Baha'i conference.They need to know what the Baha’i Faith is all about and who Bahá’u’lláh claims to be.The American Baha'i, Volume 18, No. 12 December 1...
Baha'i faith about Palestinians and Muslims
I did see a video on YouTube a few years ago, where a Baha'i scholar gave a speech about Abdul-Baha warning the Palestinians of the Zionist plans to eventually possess all of the land for their political-religious movement; but this felt very too little, too late. It felt like Baha'i PR to make it seem like the institutions care about Palestinian human...

The Qiblih is indeed He Whom God will make manifest; whenever He moveth, it moveth, until He shall come to rest.
When ye desire to perform this prayer, turn ye towards the Court of My Most Holy Presence, this Hallowed Spot that God hath … decreed to be the Point of Adoration for the denizens of the Cities of Eternity ¶6The “Point of Adoration,” that is, the point to which the worshiper should turn when offering obligatory prayer, is called the Qiblih. The concept...

There is a lot to cover, but I think it is important to begin where it started; the Bab appointed Subh-i-Azal (Mirza Yahya) as his successor, not Baha'u'llah (Mirza Husayn Ali). This is an objective historical fact that even Baha'i narratives can't completely ignore. To "fix the problem", they said that the Bab only appointed Subh-i-Azal as a "figurehead"...

Baha'u'llah's claims in Edirne and Acre
A full discussion of the claims eventually advanced by Bahā Allāh in Edirne and Acre would take us far beyond the dates assigned to this survey and would involve a lengthy and complex analysis of the abundant scriptural materials available. I shall instead conclude by drawing attention once more to a point I have mentioned elsewhere, namely that Bahāʾ...

Impressions of the visitors at the Baha'i Temple of Chicago
When asked how well they agree with various statements about the Baha'i Faith, most survey respondents agreed that the Faith has positive spiritual values and attractive ideals. The majority also agreed that the Faith is a worldwide fellowship of believers (58%), and is a good religion (53%). Fewer visitors agreed the Faith is a cult (25%), made them...
he will undoubtedly be deprived of the blessings of the Abha Kingdom.
The teaching work should under all conditions be actively pursued by the believers because divine confirmations are dependent upon it. Should a Baha'i refrain from being fully, vigorously and wholeheartedly involved in the teaching work he will undoubtedly be deprived of the blessings of the Abha Kingdom.-Shoghi Effendihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVvjVM64Gxo('Focus...

“Go to Acre and see God.”
Browne spent more time in Kirman than any other place in the country, and met a wide range of people of all backgrounds, as he himself observed: “In no town which I visited in Persia did I make so many friends and acquaintances of every grade of society, and every shade of piety and impiety, as at Kirman.” During his stay in Kirman, Browne lodged in...

The "manifestation" (mazhar), or re-incarnation, of Kurratu'l-'Ayn.
Thursday, 18th July, 9th Dhi'l-ka'da.--Towards evening I went into the town and called at the post-office, where the postmaster lent me a poem in praise of Beha, composed by one Na'im of Abade, a poor man of no education, whose power of verse-writing is regarded by his co-religionists as a divine gift, and little short of miraculous. His verses are...
The souls of the infidels
The souls of the infidels, however, shall—and to this I bear witness—when breathing their last be made aware of the good things that have escaped them, and shall bemoan their plight, and shall humble themselves before God. They shall continue doing so after the separation of their souls from their bodies. It is clear and evident that all men shall,...

re-interment of the remains of Mírzá Muḥammad-Quli and eleven members of his family
It is with a feeling of joy and gratitude that we inform the Bahá’í world of the befitting re-interment of the remains of Mírzá Muḥammad-Quli, the faithful half-brother and companion in exile of Bahá’u’lláh, and of eleven members of his family, in a new Bahá’í cemetery on a hillside looking across Lake Kinneret and the hills of Galilee towards the...
