Can Bahais Answer

Bahaism does not pass the test of Truth That is The Holy Quran

The Bahai faith says that the Holy Qur’an is from Allah but it is abrogated now and not in force.

However when the Qur’an is acknowledged by the Bahais as from Allah, then CERTAIN TRUTHS CANNOT BE ABROGATED, like the concept of One Allah cannot be abrogated.

Therefore, BAHAISM has to abide by CERTAIN TRUTHS OF THE HOLY QUR’AN. In the light of this test, let us see how Bahaism can pass THIS TEST OF TRUTH.

Six Test Cases Creation Pharoah's Mummy Man is not number 1 creature Number of months is 12 and not 19 4 Sacred Months Bahais include St. Paul in the List of True Apostles whereas in the light of Qur’an, Paul is a Disbeliever

Test # 1 CREATION

Creation Page-162 “Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah” (1983 edition) : The one true God hath everlastingly existed, and will everlastingly continue to exist. His Creation, likewise, hath had no beginning, and will have no end.

On Pages 208/209 of the Book “Baha’u’llah and the New Era” 3rd edition written by J.E. Esslemont and published by Bahai Publishing Trust in April, 1970 it is mentioned: P208 (1) “Baha’u’llah teaches that the universe is without beginning in time”. P208 (2) “It is a perpetual emanation from the Great First Cause”. P208 (3) “The Creator always had his creations”. P209 (4) “If we could imagine a time when no beings existed, this imagination would be the denial of the divinity of God.

Moreover, absolute non-existence cannot become existence. If the beings were absolutely non-existent, existence would not have come into being”.

BUT THE HOLY QUR’AN SAYS

The Holy Qur’an in Sura Hadid 57, Verse No.3 Says: “He (ALLAH) is the First”

If the universe has no beginning according to the two Bahai Books, on Pages 162, 208 & 209, it means that the universe is unbegun just as Allah is also unbegun. Then how can Allah be the First? This is denial of one of the Most Valuable praise and glory of Allah.

Only Allah is UNBEGUN. Allah says in Sura “Az-Zumar”, Verse 62 that: “Allah is the Creator of all things”. If Allah has created everything, then Necessarily all creations have a beginning. Every single creation is begun. Only Allah is UNBEGUN.

If creations have no beginning then how can we say that Allah has created everything? Since Allah has created everything, then necessarily everything has a beginning.

In extract no 4 of Page 209 (quoted above), the Bahaism Book says: “If we could imagine a time when no being existed, this would be denial of the Divinity of God”.

However it is our faith that God has created INITIALLY out of nothing because Allah says in Sura Az-Zumar (39) Verse 62 “Allah is the Creator of all things”.

It necessarily means created initially out of nothing. Because if any original material existed from which other things were created, then this would mean that Allah did not create that original material. BUT this faith will be against the Holy Qur’an which says: “Allah is the Creator of all things” (Sura Az-Zumar 39, Verse 62).

Test # 2 Pharaoh’s Mummy

In Verse 92 of Chapter Yunus (10) when Pharaoh was drowning Allah said: “So this Day We deliver thee (Pharaoh) in thy body, so that you may be a sign unto those after thee”.

Allah in the above verse says that He has preserved the body of Pharaoh to be a sign unto men. Before this sign becomes visible unto men, how can the Holy Qur’an be abrogated??? Pharaoh’s Mummy was discovered in the year 1898 A.D. & Baha’u’llah died on 29th May So Baha’u’llah died 6 years before the mummy of Pharaoh was discovered. Baha’u’llah had no right to abrogate the Holy Qur’an until Pharaoh’s body was visible to men.

Test # 3 Man is not No.1 Creature

Page-179 “Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah” (1983 edition) : “Man, the noblest and most perfect of all created things”.

The Bahais think that man is No.1 creature, i.e. man is above all other creatures in status.

But the Holy Qur’an says in Sura Bani Isra’il Verse 70 “We have preferred them (Children of Adam) over many of them whom We have created with a preferment”.

So man is better than many creatures, but not all creatures. This means that there are creatures better than mankind. Mankind is not No.1 creature. Bahaism has failed in Test No.3. So Bahai faith is wrong and therefore not from Allah.

Test # 4 Number of Months is 12 & not 19

Allah has said in the Holy Qur’an that the number of months with Allah is 12. Bahais have 19 months in one year.

In the Holy Qur’an Sura Tauba (9) Verse 36 is as follows:- “Verily the number of months with Allah is 12 months (ordained) in the writ of Allah on the day whereon He created the heavens and the earth”

The number of months was twelve with Allah NOT AFTER the Holy Qur’an was revealed BUT on the day whereon He created the heavens and the earth So even if the Qur’an is abrogated, the number of months MUST REMAIN 12 AND NOT 19.

The number of months is 12 with Allah Himself, and not with mankind only.

The order of 12 months was given by Allah on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. This means the number of months was 12 even before mankind was created. How can Baha’u’llah interfere in the setup which Allah made before mankind was created ???

Test # 5 4 Sacred Months

After informing us about the 12 months, Allah says in the Holy Qur’an in the same Sura Tauba (9) Verse 36 that:- of these four are sacred that is the right religion wherefore wrong not yourselves in respect thereof

Bahais have wronged themselves How can sacredness of these 4 months be abrogated UNLESS the Bahais have wronged themselves in respect thereof ??? UNLESS they have left the right religion……

Test # 6 Bahais include St. Paul in the List of True Apostles

In the light of Qur’an, Paul is a Disbeliever

St. Paul made Jesus the Son of God Allah in The Holy Qur’an says very strongly against this belief. Allah says in Surah At- Tauba (9) Verse 30 “….. And the Christians say: Messiah is the Son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the DISBELIEVERS of old. Allah’s Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth !”

And Allah says in Surah Marium (19) Verse (88–91) 88 “And they say: “The Most Beneficent has begotten a Son”. 89 Indeed you have brought forth a terrible evil thing. 90 Whereby the Heavens are almost torn and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins. 91 That they ascribe a son to the Most Beneficent.”

The BAHAIS believe that The Holy Qur’an is from Allah. St. Paul made Jesus the Son of God. How can the Bahais include St. Paul in the list of True Apostles, when in the light of The Holy Qur’an, St. Paul is a disbeliever?

Therefore Bahaism does not pass the tests of truth BAHAISM IS WRONG
