Hi im wondering what the fellow Muslims knew and viewed about the Baha'i faith. I know hardcore Islamic people in Iran hate us and denounce us but am wondering how it is around the other Islamic cultures and countries.

We don't drink alcohol, no sex before marriage, pray to God, believe in 1 God, believe in all past religions of God (ie., Judaism, Christianity, Islam )we have obligatory prayers etc.

We are not an Islamic sect for those who don't know about the Baha'i Faith, the religion is an independant one and started 150 years ago in Persia, we have >6 million followers world-wide. We believe also in the Oness of God, Equality of Men and Women, Oness of humanity, abolition of racsim, predjudice, Oness of Religion, we have no Clerics like (priest, Imam etc) we believe in Independant investigation of the truth, to name a few.

Any way tell me how your views are, don't feel shy to post your OWN opinions. Thanks

Arpad.

to answer... komnenos question look at this webpage:

http://www.bahai.org/ - http://www.bahai.org/

got QnA section u can look for some basic answer.. which i am too looking at it now....

I have a few Iranian Bahai friends and find them very friendly and outgoing.  All of them do drink alcohol, eat pork, and are relatively the same nature and quality as average Americans. 

I did know that faithful Bahais do not drink Alcohol?  I find that very interesting. 

 I also know an American converto to Bahai faith, she keeps a little pamphlet she gives to anybody who is interested in joining the movement.  I personally think Bahaism is not for me, because my culture, and the way I lived my life would fall contradictory to Bahai teachings.  In Islam, we do not believe in anymore prophets after Muhammad, and we dont believe that Bahullah was the Mehdi either.

I find that the majority of Muslims I knowm even Iranians (who are Muslim), consider Bahaism as a cult, and a religion created by the British and associated with Freemasonry.

I dont find much validity in that because I am ignorant on the teachings of Bahaullah and will not believe anything  until I read it & research it for myself.

From what I have heard about it though, I think one day Bahaism will become a world religion because of its entirely tolerant and lax nature.  It offers a guilt free answer, believe in One God, but also keeps the door open to answers found in other world religions, and lets the person decide his own leanings.  Its very appealing, especially in the United States and Europe where secularism wil fall hand in hand with Bahai teachings.

Arpad asked for your opinion on Bahaism and not what do you think others think of Bahaii faith. So mind your own business please as no one so far in this thread criticized Bahaism.

Regarding me, I think Bahaism is a cult like many other cults in Christianity and other religions. I just find it odd that they believe in Islam, where a vital and critical element in Islam is to believe that prophet Muhammed is the last messenger, thus closing the door for any doubts and that explains too why in Islam we don't have saints and godly-spirited individuals. I am reading the link provided by Cahaya regarding Bahaism and I'm sure I can find some answers of my earlier questions.

Yes Cok Gec we believe in Islam and other religions.

Yes Bahai law states alcohol consumption is prohibited.

We do not observe Hijab and Halal food. We are allowed to eat pork etc. Some iranian Bahai's DO however observe halal and do not eat pork but thats just out of habit.

In Islam and the Quran isn't it (correct me if im worng) that after Muhammad no more Prophets like - Noah, Elijah etc prophets who do not bring a holy book and laws etc., but promote religion and religious activity won't come anymore. I forgot the name as referred to in the Quran maybe some of the Muslims here can remember the name given to these prophets.

We also have a holy book which its name is The Kitab'i Aqdas.

Excuse me Arpad...

Just wnt to know... well..me too here feel odd.. actually very odd.. (pls.. no hard feeling here) as earlier mentioned by cok gec : I just find it odd that they believe in Islam, where a vital and critical element in Islam is to believe that prophet Muhammed is the last messenger, thus closing the door for any doubts and that explains too why in Islam we don't have saints and godly-spirited individuals...

So far my understanding... Bahaism believes in One God... here I quote some of the stmn frm the website:-

God is the ultimate Reality, Creator of the universe, Whose nature is unknowable and inaccessible to humankind. Such designations as God, Allah, Yahweh, Brahma all refer to the One Divine Being. We learn about God through His Messengers, Who teach and guide humanity

no offend here but are u guy just wnt to put urself in safe position.. to claimed u do believe wht Muslim and other religions followers do have in their faith? if u already believe in this... why must still need to have Bahai?

The view of what is suppose to come after Muhammad depends on which sect of Islam you look at.

As for Bahais, Some Muslims view Bahai faith as a cult the same way that some Jews and Christians view Islam as cult. The difference is that Judaism and Christianity are prevalent in countries where there is more tolerance at the present time relative to Islamic states.

Well, if I understood you correctly, maybe you are saying that Quran states there is no Prophets after Muhammed but there are messengers?

In any case, the Quran states the following verse:

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.
(The Holy Quran, Al-Ahzab 33:40)

The Quran defines what is a prophet and what is a messenger. A prophet is a messenger who is ordered by God to carry a revelation and new scripture and laws. A messenger is just a person sent by god to confirm previous existing messenger. All prophets are messengers, but not all messengers are prophet.

Therefore, under Islam doctrine, it is clear that no new revelaton will come (new prophet) after prophet Muhammed (PBUH).  So that explains why Muslims don't accept new claims of new revelations such as the Bahaii scripture.

Bahaiis and Shia Muslim differ on the Mahdi's name and a lot of similarities exists there. So, it is clear that Bahaism is closer to Shia Islam than Sunni Islam and that is definitley true especially the nature of the Bahaii's faith founder.

my opinion personnally (as far as i no) the Bahai religion is not much different then Islam.

Islam is the completion of the other two one god religions (jews, christns), and the koran respects the other religions by calling them the people of the book. now if the bahai faith beleives that all of these religions should unite and serve the one perpuse of believing in the ONE God then i would respect them. coz as muslims we also hav a higher respect for the people of the book then the ones who reject faith (as in belief wise, other wise ofcourse i respect them as equal humans).

question for arpad,

personally and religiously, wich one of the three religions do you respect more? u obviously read all the books of god, but as the last book of God, the Koran, do use believe and read about that more or is it more equal.

and also what u think about the prophits moses, jesus, mohammed? how do u view them?

Thankyou for you replies.

Our belief in Islam is the same as Islams belief in Christianity.

In the Bahai Faith we believe in the Abrahamic cycle, the cycle begun by Abraham, and it was ended with Muhammad, thus he is the seal of the Abrahamic cycle and the last of those prophets. However we believe our Messanger is the begining of a new cycle, Muhammad closed the seal, however our Messanger opened a new one. I must reiterate this is my understanding,,

We DO NOT follow the laws of other religions, by stating we believe in them does not mean we follow them, We have our own Holy book, our own set of laws that we abide by.

Tell me this aswell, if one is Muslim by name, but does not follow his laws, drinks, eats pork etc., how is his state once his physical bocy passes by, and he enters the realm of the spirit? will he go to a 'heaven' as opposed to someone who has no religion, however lives life serving humanity, the betterment of people and generally a very good person of good morales?

Ottoman, In terms of respect we respect all the books and teachings because they are all the same, we believe, the word of God is always the same and can never change.

The physical message might have changed a bit over time, but this was to go with the people of the time, what do you thnk would have happened if Muhammad's teachings was brought upon the people at the time of Moses? They would never be able to comprehend the teachings because they are forward a few thousand years thats why they never blieve in Muhammad, because they cannot compare their teaching and those of Muhammad, it is very different in the eyes of man, however the essence. the spirit of the message is the same as has always been, to know Thee, to Worship him, and acknowledge him. however the laws change slightly as man has always been evolving, you cannot impose laws set for adults on babies, or youngsters can you? they could never comprehend it, also you cannot use the laws from babies and children on adults it would never work. Humans have been evolving from baby, to child to teenager throughout its history, which is the EXACT reason God sends down prophets, to keep humans up to date, so that they don't forget him, so that they do not go out of hand. Do you think humans 1000 years ago would ever imaging what the future would be? it is incomprahendable, they would never imagine whats going on know. thats why it is hard for christians / jews to accept Islam or for Jews to accept Christianity.

I believe in the Validity of the Bible/ Quran because they are the words of God put down for their time. In terms of prophets Muhammad, Christ and Moses i view them as equal (please dont be offended) however view the message of Muhammad as the most valid as Muhammad was the last Prophet befor my own prophet so naturally after my own beliefs i view those of Islam as the most Valid. However as equal with the teaching of Christ and Moses.

And Cahaya i respect your view, and if you think im trying to feel safe, well i respect that to, but know this, i do not feel safe by following a book, or books from God.  I will fear God always, i will especially fear him if i was non-religious and not knowing of him. I have my own religions law and book that i follow, i dot not USE anyother religion but my own regardles of what you think, i have tried to explain that we believe in the validity of the past religions, but if you do not accept that then lets agree to disagree and i 100% recpet your views and respect your religious view.

I do not fear God {if he exists}.Fear=hatred.I love/would love God {if he exists}.

My personal opinion.

As Arpad Stated:

And Cahaya i respect your view, and if you think im trying to feel safe, well i respect that to, but know this, i do not feel safe by following a book, or books from God.  I will fear God always, i will especially fear him if i was non-religious and not knowing of him. I have my own religions law and book that i follow, i dot not USE anyother religion but my own regardles of what you think, i have tried to explain that we believe in the validity of the past religions, but if you do not accept that then lets agree to disagree and i 100% recpet your views and respect your religious view.

Well..I do respect others beliefs and faiths..(especially when lives in a country which consists of multi ethnics and religions)  it's individual choice.. dont get me wrong with my questions previously.. is not i'm criticized ur religion.. i'm curious... this is my first time i heard about it...

fear does not equal hatred, not always anyway. a person that fears God and his punishments would be mor cautious towards his own actions then someone that doesnt fear God.

imagine you are under captivity. would u rather be dealt with someone that fears God and his punishments or someone that doesnt fear God and doesnt beleive. a man that doesnt fear God could do anything to torture you while the person who knows his being wached and knows that he will be judged at the after life would no his limits when dealing with captives or prisoners.

anyway lets stick to the topic

well in the koran it says that onli those with faith (iman) shall enter paradise so obviously u wud think taht if someone is muslim by name but doesnt practiseor believe then cannot be seen as a mumin in the eyes of God, even tho he might be seen as a muslim in the eyes of man. while ur comparison to the non-religious man would depend on wether he rejects faith fully. if he believes that there is an all-wise, all-knowing creator out there but didnt know about his religion (islam) or wasnt introduced to it properly and was mislead, misinformed by other corrupted muslim, then he may also be allowed to enter paradise.

but if he rejects faith totally and openly denies Gods existence despite all the miracliuos proof of the universe being controlled, then he may not be allowed to, despite what he has done.

ofcourse, God knows best.

Katulakatula you have been watching too much Star wars heheh fear = hatred.

If you fear no one in the world, then its up to you, i myself also don't have fear for many things except God. The fear that were referring to is not fear as in you are scared of a spider no. The fear is coming from within you, more like you know the sun is there, but you also fear it because without the sun there would be no life, your fear is respect and love, you love the sun for bringing life, you respect the sun, you know about the sun, but also at any time it can take life. That is the fear im talking about, fear of something so great it is uncomprahendable for us.

Thankyou for that Ottoman, and cahaya thankyou for your reply.

why your holy book has an arabic name?

yea its Arabic so  is the name of Bahai founder.

so from my short reading this religion had an islamic background. and both "bab" and "bahaullah" are Arabic names.

Yes they are, and yes we have Islamic background because both our founders the Bab and Baha'u'llah were from Islamic background.

However let there be no confusion we are Bahai's following Baha'u'llah the Bab was the forerunner of our faith, he came and teold the people of the coming of a great one (Baha'u'llah) and basically got them ready for the coming of the new messanger.

We believe that after all messangers a period of light shines down on the world, After Muhammad, sciences, maths al theses exelled, the world became a new place, Europe gradually went out of the dark ages, Many poets made some of the greatest literature in the world, Advances in Human anatomy, health etc were made . thus a period of light.

We believe the period of light after our messanger is clear, 150 years ago in 1844 noone dreamed of flying through continents, in the oldern ways the way to spread message would be to travel etc., however now we have so much progressed, we have progressed so much at such a high exponential way since the last 150 years, and i believe this is because the dawn of a new cycle, with the Abrahamic cycle complete, the new cycle is dawned and what we are seeing today is only the start of great great new advances to be made in technology.

yea Bab told people that "Al Mahdi" is comming and "Al Mahdi" was described by the Prophet Mohammed, and not considered as a prophet.

Its quite simple. Religion uses hate to utilizes hate to galvinize the population to its cause.

Read the topic name please.

Read the instructions and questions asked by the person who created the topic

Ok, for sure. Your always 100% correct çok geç, always.

In any circumstance Bahai faith is one which is little understood by most. My views are that Bahai deserves a place in this world with respect. I dont know why it is not considered "people of the book" as I see it they follow the general monothiestic principles of Abrahamic religions.

the Quran specified who are the people of the Book and they are the Jews and the Christance.

nothing in the Quran about Bahai faith nor their books or prophet.

as i said earlier that the founder of Bahai thought of himself as the "Mahdi" which is described by the prophet mohammed.

Muslims are ordered to follow the Mahdi, obviously majority of Muslim dont think that Bahaullah is the Mahdi. i guess his description didnt fit the description the prophet mentioned.

and its clear that Bahai came from Islamic Background which also recognise Judaisim and Christianity.

also its been many occasions through history were some people claimed to Al Mahdi, and got themselvs killed.

starting with Abu Musaylamah who after the prophet's death claimed to be a Prophet himself and was killed by the Army sent by the first Caliph Abu Baker.

also a woman called "Sajah" claimed to be a prophet too and then took it back and became a normal muslim.

And who said emotions are the creation of human being and only the copyright of humen? God feels anger and happiness but in his way. We could have been created us just like Bacteria. In religion theology, our creation came as part of God and he gave us whatever privilage we were given from brain, emotion express...etc

If we have a God who is solid, does not feel love to us, happiness for our good, and anger for our atrocities, I guess then you have a piece of stone there and not God.

"it is he who should learn to manage them", If God has no control over his expressions, he could have just commanded one single command and we all have vanished. Forever. and save him the trouble.

God feels angry as your dad feel angry on you when you do stupid thing. Don't tell me your dad had no emotions and didn't concern about you at all. 

Anger and punishment aren't an effective method for decent education. Fearing parents will causes many mental problemes in futur.

It's the same thing in relation with God. Why do you need to "fear" a god for being decent?

I many times wonder if Mohammed had anything to do with it, considering that Persia, Egypt, Syria, etc., were already civilized regions before he was even born. 

Indeed, much of this mathematics were already present in Egypt, Persian, Babylon, and India.

The Islamic empire just conglomerated it in their learning centers in Baghdad. At first the attitude was fairly open to philosophy, math, and the fine arts.

But gradually acceptance disappeared and rulers became more and more strict. It was a shame too, just as Europe was increasing their tolerance of the arts and went full force into their renaissance.

Sure. Find me a parent who never ever got angry and never ever punished their kids.

I personally never seen that and punishment does not have to be physical. It is something common sense that we have punishing results for your wrong work. Punishment is a part of the educational system actually, which is from receiving F for your low performance in class, being asked to stay in your room for the night by your parent, cut in your monthly salary by your employee, fines of speeding, all the way to prison and execution. That is realism, however, if you believe in managing human beings with no punishment, i respect your ultra-idealistic belief.

In the West, it appears to many that "hardcore Islamic people" hate everyone and everything not "Islamic."  Which is why Islam has such a bad press in the West.  It often appears not as a religion, but as an ideology that glorifies not dying for the faith, but killing for it.

Some interesting comments in this thread. 

Yes Maziar, respect is the ultimate method of control. If I am beaten I may fear you, but when you turn ur back I wont hesitate to stab you.

True that punishment is needed in a society but only to let people see what they have done wrong, not to for the enjoyment of punishing them.

But I dont think Maziar was talking about Killers and Rapists.

Also a God who loves killing and punishment, as in the old testament is detrimental to a society. 

At Siyyid Kázim's death in 1843, he had counselled his followers to leave their homes to seek the Lord of the Age whose advent would soon break on the world. One of these followers called Mullá Husayn travelled to Shiraz.

On his arrival on May 23, 1844, Mullá Husayn was approached by a young man wearing a green turban (an indication that the wearer was a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad). The stranger, the Báb, invited Mullá Husayn to his home. After being asked by the Báb of what he was doing in Shiraz, Mulla Husayn replied that he was searching for the Promised One. The Báb then asked how would the Promised One be recognized, to which Mulla Husayn replied "He is of a pure lineage, is of illustrious descent, is endowed with innate knowledge and is free from bodily deficiency". To the shock of Mulla Husayn, the Báb declared "Behold, all these signs are manifest in me.".

Mullá Husayn had one more sign by which to identify the Promised One. He had been told by Siyyid Kázim that the Promised One would write a commentary on the Surah of Joseph (a chapter in the Qur'an) without being asked. The Báb fulfilled this requirement as well, writing the commentary after making his declaration. The Báb then declared ‘O Thou who art the first to believe in Me!‘ and took the title the Báb.

Mullá Husayn became the Báb's first disciple. Within a very short time, seventeen other disciples of Siyyid Kázim had independently recognized the Báb as a Manifestation of God, among them was one woman, a poetess, who later received the name of Táhirih (the Pure). These eighteen disciples were later to be known as the Letters of the Living

To these first eighteen disciples the Báb gave the task of spreading the new Faith throughout the land.

 

Thats in short the proofs that we follow.

 

-------------

from that is even clearer that it is somehow a branch of Shia Islam. at least at their beginings.

Well, it is not that Baha'ullah was a Shia thus, the religion he brought is a branch of Shiah Islam. It is more of that Bahaism itself especially the one Baha'ullah established is clearly a derivative of the Shiah branch of Islam.

Note that Jesus described himself as a Jew sent to the "lost sheeps of Israel" so actually you can say that his message was not distincitve to Orthodox Judaism initially. It only became distinctive with time as his disciples and "holy spirited" saints added rituals to Christianity making it distinctive, including Christmass, Baptizing, Sunday mass, and the bible itself.  Bahaism has a similar process too.

Anyhow, going back to the point that validate Baha'ullah as a messenger, If Bahau'allah thought that he can be a messenger with a new message, I guess he opened the door for new  messengers. I can set down today and start writing a book and will call it a new religion. So since Baha'ullah did not bring a book of philosophy or mediation but rather a whole new religion, my question will be, how can we verify Baha'ullah or me who will write a book are truly messengers? In a different way, does he present a miracle or his book contains future miracles that came true?

Remember that believing in a philosophy is different than believing in a religion. A philosophy is the product of human whereas religion is the product of God.

Well as you said, it is difficult to use that example as a miracle to other non-believer as much as when I tell a Christian of the miracles given to Prophet Muhammed including breaking water out of sand between his fingers..etc

That is why I asked for miracles in his book or later proved to miracle because those stands as witness of the faith and hardly disputable. For example, Quran's scientific miracles are hardly disputed and easy to use in examples. Anything similar to this?

Your previous post was perfectly fine with a polite tone. I have no problems with the two posts you posted earlier. Thank you for the link, I am able to access it. I had more questions in respond to your posts however, I will postpone them after I finished venturing in your link as I might find the answers already there.

Regarding your question why do I think that Bahaism is a derivative of Shiah doctorine, it is the same situation with Christ and Judaism. Initially Baha'ullah is a Shiah believer. Because of that, he draws to his new belief of Bahaism the concept of Imam Mehdi, which is a critical issue for Shiah. Bahaullah declared himself as the Mehdi (suprisingly also as the Christ). Also Bahai faith originated from Babism of Mirza Ali Muhammad proclaimed himself to be the Bab (Gate), "the forerunner of one greater than himself. But as the movement spread throughout much of Iran and Iraq, and especially after the Bab formally declared that Babism was a new religion he was subjected to the growing confrontations by the other Shiite 'ulamas which will lead violence and finally his execution by firing squad in 1850. Mirza Yahya Subh-i-Azal  or Baha'ullah's half-brother- claimed the leadership of the Babis, with its effective leadership in reorganizing the community. Husayn Ali Nur or Baha'allah aroused as a prominent figure among the Babi community. Especially his time in prison in 1852 at Tehran, Baha'ullah was not just a successor anymore, but the holder of the claim of a new prophetic mission which is the Bahai movement.

In Bahaullah's will (Kitab 'ahdi), Bahaullah appointed his brother Abdul Baha as his successor and the leader of the Bahai faith. Notice that the significant development in that period was that the spread of the Faith to North America in 1894 by the efforts of Ibrahim Kheiralla. This Western expansion spread from Northern America to Europe and Australia. Soon there was a flow of American and European pilgrims coming to Akka in 1898.
This Western expansion has significant consequences on the independence of the Faith. As a consequence of the efforts the Bahai Faith was introduced to the peoples from different backgrounds than the previous believers and converts. Though limited in scale, with a diverse background of the new believers, Bahai Faith was no longer confined to a Muslim milieu, but rather an international framework.
These developments also lead the change in the interpretation of the Bahai teachings. In that process of reformulation, although preserving the general Shiite understanding and conceptualization, new formulations of the Bahai teachings were developed in terms of Christian terminology. Abdul Baha himself, dealt with the reformulation in religious and philosophical themes.

Therefore, most scholars will agree that Bahai faith started as a derivative of Shiite Islam and slowly emerged out by Abdul Baha and his successor Effendi (though I believe most Bahai end the line with Abdul Baha).

Regarding my other questions, I am looking for their answers on links you provided. Thank you.

ok, if he considered the Shia branch of Islam is the correct one, why would he makes a new religion??

As per muslim belive Jesus came and considered Judaisim as a corrupted religion and he had to get it to the right direction also when Islam Came it considered both judaisim and christianity as corrupted religions ( corrupted by their people) and Islam is the continuation of these religions but in the right un-corrupted way.

so as per Shia Islam ( which Bahaullah approved ) the Mahdi will Get the people to correct Islam and justic in the world Not a totally different religion.

so tell me how can he considered any religion to be the True one while he makes a new one.

obviously he might thought that those religions are NOT the correct ones and a new one must be made to replace them.

Allah'u'Abha fastspawn how are you. LOL

The story you gave about the Miracle they wanted Baha'u'llah to perform, I was going to write the exact same story lol. But i thought not, but then you did so it must have been God's will

Azimuth

so as per Shia Islam ( which Bahaullah approved ) the Mahdi will Get the people to correct Islam and justic in the world Not a totally different religion.

I understand this, but wasn't the knew messanger from Christianity supposed to come down from Clouds in a white horse (Not quite sure) etc., Did Muhammad come to the people like that? no., thats why we believe that these are symbolic in meaning. Maybe fastspawn can go further into this, im scared with my bad english i might write something not good ))

Religion,Nationality,Race,Language........all these identities r intertwined.Can we think outside these boundaries.My personal opinion is .....it's nearly impossible for an average human being to do so.N even though we might be able to break free of these boundaries for a short while .....when we r within our GROUP of people...'Mass Psychology' takes over.

Falsafi ko bahas ke andar khuda milta nahi,Bahas ko suljha raha hai aur sira milta nahi.

All discussions/disputes based on religion will be solved by war or qayamat/the day of judgement/pralaya..............

The reason it is difficult to use that example as a miracle is that he didn't perform one. He bluffed his way out of it.

Hello,

Practicing physical punishment by many parents dont legalize it. It is still a false method. I didnt mean there must be no sanction at all. If you are talking about "fearing" your father, so i just can think about physical punishment.

Sorry for misunderstanding you

No problem my friend.

   I know that most of the time, people think that punishment of parents means only physical one. Which is definitely a useless process that causes harm instead.

   Since Im a religious person (or trying to be), I like to take my examples out of my religious teaching where the Prophet not only has never used his hand beating, he has never shouted or insulted his daughter Fatima or even his servant Anas, not even telling him "why you didn't do that" for things he didn't do. One story i love is when once a time his wife Aisha got jealous from a gift the prophet received and she threw the plate on the floor breaking it in front of other companions. If it was me, I have no clue what I will be doing. Maybe furious and shouting on her. However the prophet just smiled and sayed "your mother got jealous". 

Hai fastspawn... just a curious here... are u a malay, chinese or indian? how many Baha'i already in Singapore....? Does ur government acknowledge ur faith? Do u guys have any follower in Malaysia?

what i dnt get is that in the koran there is not even a slight saying that prophicises the coming of a new prophit after mohammed. if anything it talks about coming of false prophits but never anymore prophits after mohammed (pbuh). the jews holy book prohpised that that the messaih, jesus, would come adn also a another prohit "like" moses (wich was mohammed coz jesus wasnt "lik" moses). the bible (although this claim isnt popular among christians) also talks about a coming of a new prophit after jesus. why there isnt no proof in the koran that there will be a new prophit?

in islam its very dangerous to say or believe in mohammed, while not believing he is the last and seal of all prophets. so it is very hard for most muslims to convert to the bahai faith. not denying it probly happens ofcourse

Hi Arpad, very interesting, are they iranian bahaai which moved there? or they are malay in origin?
