Salaam - I happened to see your interest in the Bahai Faith. This is a web site which offers an alternative view on the Faith - www.bahaiawareness.com. You can reach me at imranshaykh@gmail.com

Thanks, I will.

Thank you for your candid confession. But given the sensitivity of the issue for us Muslims, we should seek some source - naturally in this case a Bahai source to understand. Does the UHJ have any view in this matter? Now that we know that there are some traditions in "books worthy of...

It is sad that most of you cannot understand the word of Bahaullah in the language in which it was revealed. The book is in Arabic - the translator can choose to ignore standard translation guidelines and given the quote in question, I am not surprised that he chose to. Please look up the...

Can you please clarify: What does Bahaullah mean when he says "books worthy of credence". This is indeed an important quotation for finally we can understand which books are considered worthy of credence by the Bahais and we can see which traditions of the Imams are enclosed therein. Since...

Dear friend: Can you give an estimate - your own estimate - of how many traditions are reported in Islamic books. And how many were ever quoted by Bahaullah? If you can tell us the answer and then if you can explain that why ALL the others (which probably run into thousands) are unreliable...

The quotation from Bahaullah came from Ishraqat, page 293. No generalities in the discussion. Lets all agree to discuss only from stuff which can be corroborated. Is there any reason why you consider the traditions about the Mahdi as unreliable. Is it your own assesment of the traditions and...

If you noticed, I did give the quotation which came from Bahaullah. For the tradition from the Holy Prophet, you can look it up in Sunan-e-Abu Dawood, Kitab al Fitan. This incidentally is one amongst many which is narrated on the subject. As regards my comment on the Bahai tendency to reject...

Bahaullah said: 'Salutations be upon the Lord of mankind..., He (Mohammed), through whom messengership (Risalat) and prophethood (Nabuwwat) have been completed (intahata) (Bahaullah, http://www.bahaiawareness.com/ishr293.jpg). 'There will arise 30 imposters in my nation and each one of them...

True, Bahais introduced Mohammed in the West, but at the same time, introduced him in a manner which suited the Bahai Faith. Muslims do not accept the Bahai contention that a new Messenger would succeed Mohammed. Also strange is the Bahai contention to reject "Islamic" traditions and sources...

If Bahais are respected, then good for them. God's time is come? People are becoming more tolerant of injustice? Really? I dont think so. Show me one community which is not complaining of injustice. You seem to either blind or deluding yourself - look around you globally - We have seen 2...

Propaganda? You call the words of the Bab propaganda? Regards,

I apologise. I got the word wrong. The term you used is Transfiguration. So can you now produce some proof from the Bab that he was the transfiguration thingy of the Mahdi? From a tradition point of view, the Bab is correct though not fully. The Day of Resurrection will be preceeded by the...

I told you what you told me. You gave me the same answer what I expected. I am yet to see a Bahai who condemns the Israelites for their occupation of Palestine, the murder of innocents. And you tell me that it will be resolved through prayer! Whose side are you on? Have I told you anything...

Really does not matter how the Quran reached us. The fact that it is there despite "lack of oral pages" is testimony to how well Allah has fulfilled His promise of protecting the Quran. Have you seen the verse in Quran which talks about the protection of Quran? Even Bab, Bahaullah and Shoghi...

The bab came before bahaullah. And not the other way around. it is logical therefore to consider the Bab for the discussion on Bahaullah, but not Bahaullah for the discusison on the Bab. Just as to establish the veracity of Imam Ali, we refer to the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and not the other way...

I believe that through prayer and the consultation of the parties involved, peace will prevail. I believe that if you apply spiritual solutions to economic and political problems, you will get sane and just answers. So, now, I have answered you. Regards,

Dear Scott: Now you are confusing me. First you said that the bab was the return of the spirit of the Mahdi, then you said that it was not the spirit, but the essence. Then you said that it was not the essence, but transmigration. Now you are telling me that there was no transmigration, but...

while I dont really agree with your assesment of the history of Quran, I ask you - is your personal opinion or the Bahai viewpoint that the Quran could be corrupted? There is really no reason for us to believe that the Quran is corrupted. We have sufficient proofs to believe that it was...

Are you suggesting that the Quran is corrupted? If yes, you are contradicting the Quran itself which claims to be protected by none other than Allah itself. We are actually at the Bab and his position as the Mahdi of Islam. Once we cross the Bab, we can consider his position vis a vis...
