"How is the Bab the Mahdi of Islam" Is this a genuine question or not? But dont discuss it here for fear of hijacking this thread! Regards, as always Imran

Dear Art, My posts may not convey this, but believe me, I am happy tp lap up all that you can throw at me. Just as long as there is a rational and some proof beind it. If you believe in the Shiah side of Islam, then you will know that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the Imams (as) were peerless...

Surah Ahzab (No 33, verse no 33). The word Ahlul Bayt comes in this verse. The Holy Prophet clarified that his Ahlul Bayt includes Ali, Hasan, Husain, Fatemah and the nine children from the loins of Husain by name till Mohammed Ibnil Hasan - the same Mohammed ibnil Hasan who the Bab refers to...

I will remember that my friend. Regards, as always Imran

Apologies. Henceforth I will use the term the Bahai Faith. Regards Imran

I hope you are joking and this is not the argument that Bahais present when confronted with the question that please explian how the Bab became the 12th Imam. My question has nothing to do with the state of Islam today. Nor the state of Bahaism today. I am concerned with my own death and the...

Why is it that one will accept Shiah history which has also come to us through traditions, but not accept Shiah traditions about the Mahdi. The occultation o the 12th Imam and its meaning were explained by the Prophet - 260 years before it actually happened. Is'nt there a contradiction of sorts...

Again it is sheer conjecture on your part without any proof that the deputies "may have been" spiritually communicating with the 11th Imam who dissappeared. Just to clarify for readers of this post, he did not "disappear". He was martyred. Secondly, it is conjecture again from your side that...

You need English classes. Read post #7 again. I did not want to hijack this thread. My thread is Islam and the Bahai Faith. Regards, Imran

I did not know I was setting any rules here. Who am I to set rules. I am only a humble student of the Bahai Faith. Anyways, dont follow my "rules". Lets follow yours. But the question will belong to me. If you want, just answer the question. The question was how can one establish that the Bab...

It is not that I do not accept the Iqan. How can one reject the Iqan. But the Iqan came much later than the Bab. So when the time comes and if we all have the inclination, we can discuss the Iqan. The Quran was a proof for Prophet Mohammed in his lifetime as the Bible was for Jesus. Also, as I...

The espionage report seems to have upset you. Forgive me for raising it and causing such a stir. But I did not file the case nor am I responsible for throwing the Bahais out of Iran. Lets skip all this talk of politics and focus on the Bab. Lets talk about whether Bab was the promised Mahdi...

Read the Quran where the claim of prophethood of the prophet is made clearly and not in similes and metaphors. I have a serious issue with SWB - it is as I have mentioned very carefully "selected" and will be difficult to accept till the original works are seen. I am an expert in Arabic and...

you conveniently forgot to add that Zena Sorabjee, one of the trustees is the wife of the former Attorney General of India. The same report mentions this. Also in another report, the name of the "Irani Bahai" is given. You can find it on my web site. Also, none of the trustees are acquitted...

can you give me the reference for the above verse of the quran and what exactly is the interpretation (which I suspect sadly, will be entirely your own and not that of the prophet) what did you want to convey with this verse. Apologies for writing everything in caps. It is not meant to be...

C'mon, all these are from the Selected Writings of Bab - from which book of the Bab were these taken? Is'nt that important? Or are were just happy to accept without question whatever is dished out to us. I have been outlining right from the outset that there are double standards at play...

Art, I could not agree more. I entered this thread discussing about the Bab being the Mahdi. I remember writing a large mail with some 8-9 points. You never got back to me and see, I got diverted. you want to come back to that? To establish how for the love of God can the bahais establish that...

I am not here thankfully to draft international law. That is best left to people who probably understand things better than myself. Having said that, you wanted my view on Iran, I gave it. Now give me your view on the Bahai espionage case currently in India. Forget for one moment that Bahais...

C'mon, Muslims are persecuted all over the world. Bahaism is a world religion. Look at the official Bahai web site. Why is there nothing about Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine....c'mon, give me a break. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights itself is a political document - all countries...

Nice one, Bruce. people come here to build bridges, not buy them...:-)
