Bahai Contradictions & False Prophecies

Part 1

My good buddy has done a wonderful job of talking about Bahai Contradiction. I sincerely wish Bahais would look into these things and not follow blindly as they do now.

Bahai False Prophecies Proven!

Alhamdulillah. This is a good reference regarding the 1957 and 1963 false prophecies of Abdul Baha and how it covered up. Most Bahai's don't know these facts. Insyallah may Allah guide us to the straight way.

List of False Prophets after Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)

I saw this interesting post in sunniforums.com. It lists all those who claimed to be a prophet after Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him):

1 - Musailama al-Kazzab: Among the first false claimants to Prophecy was Musailama al-Kazzab, who appeared during the time of Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be blessings and peace) and his Companions and caused numerous troubles among Muslims and had many followers. He eventually surrendered along with his supporters in Al-Yamam battle, led by the first Caliph Abu Bakr, and was killed.

2 - Sajah al-Kahenah: Along with Musailama in falsely claiming Prophethood, was his wife, Sajah al-Kahenah, although she later reversed her position after her husband, Musailama, had been killed.

3 - Saf son of Sayyad: Another False claimant to Prophethood that appeared during the time of the Prophet and his companions, was Saf son of Sayyad. He claimed he was a Prophet when he was on the threshold of adolescence, and was initially believed to be the False Messiah, as his characteristics were the same as those of the False Messiah. He later repented and embraced Islam.

4 - Tulayha son of Khwailid: Tulayha was another of the false Prophets who appeared during the time of the Prophet and his companions, but later repented and returned to the fold of Islam.

5 - Aswad al-Ansi: Also during the time of the Prophet and his companions was another false Prophet, named Aswad al-Ansi. He was based in Yemen and was killed by the Companions of the Prophet.

6 - Al-Mukhtar Al-Thaqafi: A Shi’ite rebel, al-Mukhtar son of Abi Ubayd is also accused of being a False Prophet. He claimed to be a representative of the Mahdi. Millennialist connotations surfaced after Mukhtar's rebellion, following his announcement to the people of Kufa that he was a representative of the Mahdi.

7 - Mahmud son of al-Faraj: In Samara, a false Prophet by the name of Mahmud son of al-Faraj appeared in 849-850 CE with a claim that a Quran was revealed to him through the angel Gabriel. He is reported to have some followers in Samara and Baghdad. He was executed on the orders of caliph, al-Mutawakkil.

8 - "Bab": Another liar/false claimant to prophecy, and the predecessor of Bahaullah, was Mizra Ali Muhammad, who initially declared himself the "Bab" (Gate) to the Shi'ite's Mahdi, and eventually progressed into other claims. He was embraced by the Shaykhis sect of Shi'a , who were then renamed "Babis". Subsequently, he declared himself to be the Shi'ite's hidden Mahdi. After declaring himself the Mahdi, he moved on to call himself Nuqtiyiula and declared that the Quran and Muslim Shari'a were now abrogated. Shi'a and Sunni scholars condemned him and Bab faced a series of imprisonment, trials, and indignities before being shot dead by a firing squad in 1850.

9 - "Bahaullah": The self-proclaimed successor to the Bab, and another liar/false claimant to prophecy was Mizra Hussein Ali Nuri. In 1863 Hussein Ali, a prominent member of the Babi group, declared himself to be the person whom God will make manifest, whom the Bab had foretold. He also took the name Bahaullah (Glory of God) and formed a new religion, the Bahai faith. Bahaullah was banished from Persia and was eventually imprisoned in Akka-Palestine. There he wrote his main work, his Kitab-ul-Aqdas (Most Holy Book), and developed the doctrine of the Bahai faith into a comprehensive teaching.

10 - Elijah Muhammad: Elijah Muhammad, succeeding Wallace Dodd Ford, was another in the line of False Prophets. He founded the convoluted belief system based on ideas extracted from everything from Christanity to Masonry to Islam in Detroit, Michigan in the 1930s. He referred to it as the "Nation of Islam".

11 - Kareem Agha Khan: In the early 1970s, another false-claimant to prophecy appeared within the Ismaili sect of Shi'ism, who proclaims himself to be a manifestation of God on Earth and a spokesman for Allah.

12 - Rashid Khalifa: Then we have another False Prophet, Rashid Khalifa, who came from Egypt, and claimed there to be an intricate numerical pattern to the Qur'an revolving around the number 19 in 1974. Because of this, he claimed to be a Messenger of God, alongside Prophets Ibraheem (Abraham) and Muhammad, and founded the group called "United Submitters International", rejecting the hadeeths of the Prophet, and denounced ayats 9:128-129 of the Qur'an. For many years he was the Imam at the Tuscon Mosque in Arizona, where he was later stabbed to death in 1990.

13 - Al Mizra Abbas: Another liar, Al-Mizra Abbas, in 1233 AH/1818 CE, appeared in Tehran, Iran and died in Palestine.

14 - Shabbatai Zevi: Shabbatai Zevi was one of the False Prophets who appeared during a desperate period of Ashkenazi Jewish history in the 16th and 17th centuries, promising to lead his compatriots out of tzuresdike golus (painful exile) to dwell with the Lord in Eretz Yisroel (the land of Israel). It neither turned out as prophesised, nor did the high hopes of the Jewish colonies in Brazil.

15 - Saleh son of Tarif Burghwati: Saleh claimed prophethood and Mahdihood in 125 AH. After ruling over his people for 47 years, in 174 AH he abdicated the throne in favour of his son.

16 - Abu Mansoor 'Eessa: Abu Mansoor 'Eessa claimed prophethood and Mahdihood in 341 AH and ruled over his people for 28 years.

17 - Al-Harith son of Sa'id: Al-Harith son of Said claimed prophethood during the reign of the Umayyad caliph, Abd al-Malik son of Marwan. A number of royal soldiers were suspected of supporting him. He was executed in 698-699 CE.

18 - Mizra Ghulam Ahmad: Mizra Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian is a British-engineered false Prophet who appeared in India to quell resistance against the British colonialists. He claimed to be the Messiah as the similitude of Prophet 'Eessa, the Mahdi, a Prophet, a Messenger, and the second advent of Prophet Muhammad simultaneously. He invited his fiercest oppenent, Molvi Sanaullah Amratsari, to a prayer duel. He advertised his supplication to Allah pleading Him to annihilate the liar amongst the two in the lifetime of the truthful one, by Cholera or by Plague. He considered them to be the sign of Divine Anger and Punishment. Mirza subsequently died of cholera a year later.

19 - Muhammad son of Sa'id: Muhammad son of Sa’id is considered as one of the four infamous forgers of hadith. He distorted the hadith: "I am the seal of prophets and there is no prophet after me" by adding: "unless Allah wills {otherwise}". He is reported to have drawn his own conclusions from this addition and claimed prophethood for himself. He was executed on the orders of Abbasid caliph, Abu Jafar al-Mansoor.

20 - Mahmood Muhammad Taha: Mahmood Muhammad Taha was also a false claimant to prophecy who was based in Sudan, and he tried with maximum endeavor to mislead normal people from their Islamic way of life until he was beheaded in 1985.

21 - Jasmin?: A more recent individual who has appeared, and could potentially be a False Claimant to Prophecy is Jasmin. He appeared in 1998 in Bosnia, claiming the War of Bosnia and Herzegovina was the Battle of Armageddon, and claims that he is the Messiah, tasked by God to introduce the human community into the "golden age", and claims that his destiny has been described under the symbol and notion of a lamb.

22 - Dr. Dwight York: Another fairly recent false claimant to prophecy was Dr. York. In the late 1960s York, started calling himself "Amunnnubi Rooakhptah," and founded various quasi-Muslim black-nationalist movements (among these was the Ansaarullah Community) based on something called the "Science of Nuwaubu". In the 1990s, he changed his community from worshipping Allah to worshipping pagan idols. Soon thereafter, he claimed to receive divine revelation, forming his own cult of Nuwaubians, following, what they call, "The Holy Tablets", with beliefs, based on pantheism, with an anthropomorphic view of Allah. In 2002, he was arrested and charged with child molestation. In 2004, he was convicted, and sentenced to 135 years in prison.

23 - Riyaz Ahmad Gohar Shahi: Another claimant to Mahdihood and prophecy, is Gohar Shahi. He was born in 1941 in the Indian sub-continent. He had a traditional Sufi upbringing, and at age 34 he went on a 3 year spiritual retreat (which he says to have been under the guidance of a "divine spirit") into the mountains of Sehwan Sharif. Afterwards, he returned (claiming it to have been commanded by God), and started to preach his message of "Remembrance and Love of God", disregarding religion and its practices, also claiming that his image is implanted on the moon, gaining a significant number of followers. The Ulema have since issued various fatwas against him.

 So as you can see, the situation is clear. There were many false prophets who came after Muhammad (pbuh). There is nothing to show that the Bahai Faith stands out from any other false religion.

In fact, Musaylima the Liar, the first false prophet after Prophet Muhammad, actually had a lot of following and he also had some poetry that he called revelation, and people recited it. People even fought battles to keep Musaylima alive, until they lost of course. Even with all these criterias, Musaylima wasn't a prophet! It would have to take more,much more to be a prophet from God.

Isn't this similar to Bahaullah religion? There were books thought to be revelation by its followers, there was a following (somewhat), there was an uprising but failed. As all this wasn't the criteria of a true prophet, isn't it?

The first criteria of a true prophet is appointment by God. And there will be no other appointments as such after Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

The second is his character, and for anyone to be a prophet after Muhammad (pbuh), he must beat the Prophet's character.

Thirdly, he must have a book from Allah. The miracle isn't that a book exists, but rather in the book there is evidence that it is from Allah. Simple queen's english won't cut it. It has to have substance, not like Kitab-i-Eqan or Aqdas.

Fourthly, there must be reports of miracles from that person equalling Muhammad's (pbuh) miracles or more. Simply writing a book and saying it is revelation is NOT a miracle.

Fourthly, monotheism must be the priority of a religion or revelation brought by a prophet. So when Shogi Effendi, the so called Guardian of the Bahai Faith advised Bahai's to pray to Bahaullah, it is instantaneously against monotheism and teaches idol worship.

Fifthly, the teachings and revelations cannot have contradictions. For example,  saying that God is Truthful and Keeper of promises, but then say that God broke his promise to Noah about the hour of the flood (Kitab-i-Eqan). Isn't it contradictory? or that Men and Women are equal but yet women cannot serve on the highest council in the Bahai Faith called the Universal House of Justice?

Sixthly, the revelation has to be completed. An incomplete revelation is a clear sign of false prophecy, for example, Bahaullah says that it is obligatory for Bahais to pay zakat and that measure of calculating the Zakat would be revealed soon, then Bahaullah dies without the measure being revelaed, leaving the Bahai Faith hanging incompleted.

I hope the reader can judge for one's self and see clearly that the Bahai Faith can never suffice as a true religion from God. It has too many traits of a deviant cult. So friends beware of the Bahai Faith, and know that there is no religion or prophet after Muhammad (pbuh).

P/S: I'm thankful to Allah that this blog, by his permission, guides many people  the truth Islam and away from the Bahai Faith, biznillah.

Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr) - How Bahai faith is lacking

Its a good thing that many people have given me feedbacks, mostly Bahais, and they displayed how they were annoyed at me (some even threatened) when they read my views on the Bahai Faith :-). It's amusing.



For the record, I'm only writing. It's not like I've taken 'jihadi' action against any Bahais. At least not yet. But if push comes to shove, inshallah the Muslim world would rise against it. So best keep words to words and not act irrationally towards people's views. I have a right to voice my opinions against the Bahai Faith just as Husayn Ali can say that he is the return of Muhammad (pbuh). If there's something not right, please highlight to me with proof and evidence, then we can talk, otherwise leave it. Again, I have emphasized in my disclaimer that there is no force on the part of the reader to take 100% what I say here. Check it out for yourselves, do some 'independent investigation' ;-).


Today I'm covering the discrepencies surrounding Laylatul Qadr or Night of Power. To understand this discrepency, we have to first get the idea of what the Night of Power means. Islam has declared its existence in the Surah Qadr, as below:

Surah Al-Qadr (Quran 97:1-5)
1. Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.
2. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
3. The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
4 The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
5.Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.    

So, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught us, as we know from various hadith, that the last tens nights of ramadhan holds this Night of Power. On that night, Angel Jibril (Gabriel) descends with his party of angels to implement on earth the records from the Guarded Tablet (lawhul mahfuz). We will cover this in detail in later articles, inshallah.

So the Night of Power has a few features to indicate its occurence. The Quran says, 'Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.' meaning that night is extraordinarily peaceful. From the hadith we also know that it would be extraordinarily cloudy and cold the next morning and there would not be barking of dogs.

So, the question is: What has happened to the Night of Power in the Bahai 'revelation'? Has it been abrogated?

Of course, being a former Bahai for 25 years I can tell you off hand that the Bahai faith is totally silent about this matter. But that's me. I did some more research and found that its true that this matter is not mentioned in Bahai text:

Item 20 - - 'Night of Power'
Reference is made to 'a Bahá'í book about the Qur'án, possibly Proofs from the Holy Qur'án, where the Quranic 'Night of Power' is discussed.7 Mr. ... wishes to know whether the interpretation provided in this work is correct. A discussion of this subject under the heading, 'The Night which is better than [a] Thousand Months', is contained in Proofs from the Holy Qur'án, pp. 145-146. A careful reading of this section will show that the author states that he is expressing his own view. The Research Department has not been able to locate any authoritative interpretation of this Quranic verse in the Bahá'í Writings. Mr. ... should reach his own understanding of the matter.
taken from http://bahai-library.com/uhj_aspects_teaching#s13

Can you believe it? They actually admit there is nothing in the bahai text written on this matter. To me this is a problem. Why? Because if there is a faith allegedly from God, that has come to abrogate all previous laws, and let's say for the sake of argument we don't argue on that, then what about all the principles and unseen events mentioned in the Quran like the Night of Power or restrictions to worship a human being? Can you have a new religion that abrogates previous laws, but failed to either uphold or cancel all other concepts in the previous religion?

This is just the tip of the iceberg. In Islam we have so many concepts and unseen events which is alluded to by the Quran, are they all now abrogated?

You see, abrogating laws is one thing, but totally cancelling out or remaining silent on certain other truths which are not law related, is another. For example, is it right that if the Bahai faith says only after a thousand years would another manifestation come, and then a guy calling himself Maitreya after only 150 years declares himself as the next manifestation, abrogates not only the laws of the Bahai faith but also the truth that time frame of a thousand years gap between manifestations is also abrogated. Can you abrogate establish truth? It just doesn't make sense.

Many Bahais do this to me, all the time! When muslims attempt to explain that there are certain established truth that cannot be abrogated, Bahais simply say that their religion abrogates Islam, totally! I hope you as the reader can discern well my point here.

My question to the Bahai World is: What has happened to the Night of Power? Has it stopped from happening? Or is it still going on? I challenge the Bahai 'scholars' to give me textual answers from their books, if they can. Anyone can give their opinion, but I want to know if they can defend this issue on a professional level, bringing proof from their text.

Sending salam on the Prophet Muhammad

It's interesting how Bahai's tend to say 'peace be upon him' when they mention Bahaullah, although they have no need to do so yet they do so only in following what muslims are obligated to do when they hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) mentioned.

Why do muslims send salutation and praises on the Prophet Muhammad? Because it is a command from the Prophet as we observe from the hadith below:

"The miserly is he, before whom I am mentioned and he does not invoke blessings on me"
Tirmidhi, al-Jami'-us-saheeh, b. of da'wat (supplications) ch.101, (5: 551 # 3546)

So muslims are encouraged by the Prophet to send praises upon him. Sadly bahais do not have such a command, yet in their hearts, they too want their 'prophet' to be seen as revered and praised as Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). So they follow suit in praising their so called 'prophet', basically in envy and not in obligation or encouragement of it in their religion.

What this means is that Bahai's are not taught the proper ettiquetes of addressing their 'prophet'.

In case you've noticed, all previous prophets used their real names and NOT some psuedo-names like Bahaullah or Bab. Bahai's are not proud that their 'prophets' have muslim names, perhaps because it hinders their marketing of their religion in the west.

Muhammad (peace be upon him), is the last and final messenger of God and there are reasons for that and perhaps I would write on it in details in future blogs, God willing. Sending praises and blessings of God on the Prophet Muhammad is an instruction from the prophet the like of which is severely lacking in the Bahai Faith.

Debunking the Judgement claims of Bahaullah

You know Bahaullah claims that the Judgement Day warned by Christianity and Islam is just rhetoric that actually means the coming of another prophet, namely himself.

Ok, if that was true, then let us take one of his own writings into perspective:

O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds. 

Hidden Word # 31

So here bahaullah talks about a reckoning or a judgement that is supposed to come after this life.

If I said that the 'reckoning' that he is refering to is actually the coming of another prophet, Bahais themselves would give me that weird look and say "can't you read, man!". Of course, because if I were to interpret it as the coming of another prophet, that would instantaneously make Abdul-Baha and Shogi Effendi irrelevant as they didn't speak on the matter of another prophet except after a thousand years.

But just imagine if someone claim 'prophethood' and used this verse as the criteria, I think bahais can NEVER accept it.

Let us look now at Islamic traditions about Judgement Day:

And those who believe and do good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they dwell therein forever. (Quran, 2:82)

Bahais claim that those who believed in Bahaullah had pass the Judgement Day. But as you can see in the Quran, Allah rewards those who do good deeds. If what bahais say is true, then how about those people who did good deeds but dies before the coming of Bahaullah, so they didn't make it to judgement?

Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if it were offered as a ransom.  They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. (Quran, 3:91)

Here also is another example where Allah eludes to the punishment of disbelief in God after one's passing from this world. So this shows clearly that the judgement comes after death, and does not mean the coming of another 'prophet'.

I welcome any bahai who wishes to debate with me on this issue. Please leave your comments and we can have a healthy discussion focused on the topic at hand.
