Prohibition of entering in politics: –
When talking about the secularism, Baha’i organizations, citing the words of their second leader, ‘Abdul Baha’, proudly say that Baha’is have no right to interfere in political affairs and should stay away from those who go after it.
The text of it is written below:
Mr. Abdul Baha says: "Hizbu’llah(the party of God) should never interfere in political affairs. They are strictly forbidden, and whoever from this sect interferes in the political affairs, others should stay away from him, but should rather abstain from him”. He said: “Tell to the lovers of God that no soul should ever interfere in the affairs of the government by any means neither with their talk nor with their speech”.
Ref: Golzar-Book of Bahai teachings, pg 451 and 452.
But the first leader of this organization, Baha’ullah, says something else. He even predicted the formation of the Bahai government and gave glad tidings to his followers about the invasion of the bahai army and their conquer and conquest of the world:
The text of it is given as follows:
Soon, divine power would come for the help of Baha’ullah and then bahais would cleanse the earth from the filth of the Baha’i deniers. They will establish bahai religion everywhere. They would capture the lands in the name of Bahau’llah, there would be fear and terror of the Baha’is among the people.
Ref: -“Baha’ullah – Aasaar-e-Qalam Aala” , Volume 2 Tablet 90.
At a time when most people around the world have embraced the theory of the separation of religion from politics, many Baha’i intellectuals still follows the orders of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’ and consider the views of Baha’ullah mandatory to act upon.
