Many thanks for the offer to send me the document. I would be delighted to receive it. My email address is imranshaykh@gmail.com On the issue of the Bab's books, I am quite sure that Bahaullah has not abrogated them. Nor is there any material which indicates that Bahaullah abrogated parts of...

I agree with you - there has to be some standards or reasoning. Allah blessed us with the greatest gifts of all - wisdom, intellect and the right to choose and differentiate. One needs to make use of these to differentiate. How would ne otherwise be able to differentiate between those who are...

Sorry, I may sound ignorant - but can you tell me what IOV means :-) Secondly, could you please outline some of the verses of the Quran which announce the coming of new messengers. Regards Imran Shaykh

I have noted your reply and respect the norms of this faith board. However you will appreciate that in any forum, questions will be asked and replies given which may or may not suit the thought process of either the questioner or of the one who is replying. Just having a difference of opinion...

Dear Friends: The Bahai Faith projects itself as the new dispensation for this era and the one which supercedes all previous divine religions like Islam. I have been a student of the Faith for long and beg to differ with this concept. All the material in Islam - The Quran and the traditions...

1. Can we have the names of the books of the Bab which are explicitly endorsed by Bahaullah. I will appreciate it if I can have the references from the books of Bahaullah in which the endorsement has been made. 2. Also, there is no precedent for what you have said that the books of religion...

It is encouraging to see that the Bahais know that there scriptures exist. However not many of them are exposed to these scriptures which are today "silenced" because of their damaging content - content which is damaging to the Bahai Faith itself. For example, how many people know that the Bab...

Thank you for your response. This will be my last post. I leave here with certainty that Bab was not the 12th Imam - not atleast that of the Muslims. He may have been some 12th Imam, but belonging to a chain of Imams different from the ones that I believe in. Yes, you are right in saying...

My friend, Again, you fail to reply who was the Mohammed Al Hujjat Al Aqem Ibnil Hasan who the Bab speaks about with such reverence. The traditions I bring are not from Muslim clergy, they are from Holy Prophet and the honoured Imams - there is a difference. A BIG difference. Not accepting...

Finally, you accept that Bab is the fulfilment of the prophecies of the 12th Imam. But whose prophecies? Who prophesised about the 12th Imam. If your belief is that he is the fulfilment of some prophecies, pray tell me, which prophecy. How can you discount that the prophecies about the 12th...

Hi: You are right in a sense. I dont know about the Jews and why they rejected Jesus. But I do know about Islam and that the Bahai Faith is pojected as the next progresion after Islam. For my hereafter I must investigate the truth. And if found correct, I must accept however unpalatable it...

My friend Scott: Forgive me for saying so, but this is a highly irresponsible statement. If you believe that the documents are forgeries then prove so. Further to the administrator's mail, I have desisted from putting up links to my web site or offering any of my personal opinions and...

the name of the lady is Susan Maneck. Incidentally she ruffled quite a few feathers on her way out of the Bahai Faith! Regards Imran Shaykh

If this is not a recantation then what is. I have never seen any genuine representative of God seeking forgiveness and clarifying his position and denying it as the Bab did. The Bahai Faith does not permit interpretation. So should one accept the words of the Bab in letter and in spirit...

Hello Art, Your inference that I do not have a positive inclination towards the Bahai Faith is correct. However that is not due to the Faith itself. I find a general denial of its followers to references from their own books which are not in conformity with what they want to hear. You wish...

As regards to your quotes about Jesus - while I have yet to check the references and as I mentioned, I am not familiar with the background of the event. Having said that, Jesus merely kept quiet. He did not lie or confirm what was being said about him. This is different from Jesus claiming to...

------------------------------------ As to the Gospel: 11And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13Then...

You will need to emmunerate the example of Jesus. I am not aware of the incident. But he recanted his faith. On numerous occasions. There are apology letters in the writings of the Bab in which he clearly says that he erred and his claims were all untrue. Are you aware of this? Please...

Noted. Absolutely. Respectfully yours, Imran Shaykh

Very convenient. Again an interpretation of the Bab's action when there is no proof to that effect. Who says that Subhe' Azal was only a place holder. Bab did not say so. Bab appointed Subhe' Azal and then passed away. The followers of Bab should have followed the Bab in letter and in spirit...
