Nakhjavani has written:
“It would be helpful at this point to consider the method adopted by Baha’u’llah in His Kitab-i-Ahd regarding the line of succession. In it He stipulates that Mírza Muhammad- Alí is to succeed 'Abdu’l-Baha. Now, compare that with ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s method in the first part of His Will and Testament. In it He stipulates that Shoghi Effendi is to be succeeded, generation after generation, by Appointed Aghsan serving as Guardians. To me, there is a similarity of method here, one that provided a sense of continuity and concealed for a time the tests that were inevitably to fall on the friends as future events unfolded. Shoghi Effendi's mention of "future Guardians" in his writings could well be, in my opinion, equally understood as a further application of this same method. All would be tested in due course as to their faithful adherence to the Covenant. Does this similarity of method not remind us of the golden key that Shoghi Effendi placed in our hands with which to unlock one of the mysteries of ‘Abdu’l- Baha’s Will and Testament? He pointed out to us that a study of the authenticated texts of the Writings of Baha’u’llah and those of ‘Abdu’l-Baha “will reveal the close relationship that exists between them, as well as the identity of purpose and method which they inculcate” (WOB 4). Is this not also a reminder of the warning given by Baha’u’llah in the Kitab-Iqan: “from time immemorial even unto eternity the Almighty hath tried, and will continue to try, His servants, so that light may be distinguished from darkness” (KI 8) and furthermore we read in the same Book: “the divine Purpose hath decreed that the true should be known from the false.... He hath, therefore, in every season sent down upon mankind the showers of tests from His realm of glory” (KI 53).”
Comment:
Nakhjavani’s comment is an example of his art of treachery, duplicity and fraud and shows the degree to which this “manifestation of the Center of Sedition,” has with his disgraceful actions and falsifications, perverted the meaning of the Writings and erroneously interpreted them according to his futile imagination, and when discussing their “method” introduces and combines his own words with extracts from Shoghi Effendi’s writings in such a way as to misrepresent the intent of the words of Shoghi Effendi. For example, he writes: “He [Shoghi Effendi] pointed out to us that a study of the authenticated texts of the Writings of Baha’u’llah and those of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,” whereas Shoghi Effendi had specifically referred instead to statements made in the two sacred documents: Kitab-i-Aqdas and the Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Baha, this would be easy to understand when one reads the following paragraph in the writings of Shoghi Effendi in the book: The World Order of Baha’u’llah:
“It would, however, be helpful and instructive to bear in mind certain basic principles with reference to the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, which, together with the Kitab-i-Aqdas, constitutes the chief depository wherein are enshrined those priceless elements of that Divine Civilization, the establishment of which is the primary mission of the Baha’i Faith. A study of the provisions of these sacred documents will reveal the close relationship that exists between them, as well as the identity of purpose and method which they inculcate.”
(The World Order of Baha'u'llah, p. 3)
Shoghi Effendi stated that, in the Aqdas, Baha’u’llah reveals “The object of this sacred verse is none other except the Most Mighty Branch [Abdu'l-Baha].” Further, if one reads from the Book of the Covenant (Kitab-i-Ahd) and the explanation provided by the first Guardian in his book, God Passes By it will clearly reveal the duplicity of Nakhjavani:
“More specifically Baha’u’llah had, referring to Mirza Muhammad-'Ali in clear and unequivocal language, affirmed: ‘He, verily, is but one of My servants... Should he for a moment pass out from under the shadow of the Cause, he surely shall be brought to naught.’" Furthermore, in a no less emphatic language, He, again in connection with Mirza Muhammad-'Ali has stated: "By God, the True One! Were We, for a single instant, to withhold from him the outpourings of Our Cause, he would wither, and would fall upon the dust."
(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 250)
Baha’u’llah, in the “Kitab-i-Ahd” (the Book of the Covenant) revealed His immortal Covenant with the believers in His appointment of ‘Abdu’l-Baha as the Center of His Covenant and the Interpreter of the Word of God and, in turn, Abdu’l Baha in His Will and Testament provided for the continuation and perpetuation of this Covenant to the end of the Baha’i Dispensation (not less than a full thousand years) in His establishment of the Institution of the Guardianship and safeguarded the integrity and unity of the Faith by assigning the exclusive right of interpretation of Holy Writ to the Guardians of the Cause of God as the Centers of the Cause and Interpreters of the Word of God. Abdu’l Baha, in turn, by His explicit and unavoidable command further guaranteed a succession of Guardians and the uninterrupted continuation of the Guardianship when He stated:
“It is incumbent upon the Guardian of the Cause of God to appoint in his own life-time him that shall become his successor that differences may not arise after his passing.”
(The Will and Testament, p. 12)
Nakhjavani has further deceitfully misstated the immutable terms of the sacred and immortal Will and Testament of Abdu’l-Baha when he writes: “In it He stipulates that Shoghi Effendi is to be succeeded, generation after generation, by Appointed Aghsan serving as Guardians.” For, nowhere in that sacred document can the phrase fabricated by Nakhjavani: “Appointed Aghsan” be found.
“In the Book of Aqdas, He has given positive command in two clear instances and has explicitly appointed the Interpreter of the Book. Also in all the Divine Tablets, especially in the Chapter of The Branch -- all the meanings of which mean the Servitude of 'Abdu'l-Baha, all that is needed to explain the Center of the Covenant and the Interpreter of the Book has been revealed from the Supreme Pen.”
(Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 358)
A comparison may be observed in the appointments of Their successors by both Abdu’l Baha and Shoghi Effendi in the fact that when Mirza Muhammad-'Ali was brought to naught because he had passed out from under the shadow of the Cause, it did not prevent the Center of the Covenant, Abdu’l Baha, from appointing his successor because according to the Covenant of Baha’u’llah there must be a “Center of the Cause” and He emphasized that in stating:
“The mighty stronghold shall remain impregnable and safe through obedience to him who is the Guardian of the Cause of God. It is incumbent upon the members of the House of Justice, upon all the Aghsan, the Afnan, the Hands of the Cause of God to show their obedience, submissiveness and subordination unto the Guardian of the Cause of God, to turn unto him and be lowly before him.”
(Abdu'l-Baha, The Will and Testament, p. 11)
Similarly, the fact that Shoghi Effendi, the first Guardian of the Cause of God, did not have a son, did not prevent him from complying with the sacred provision of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Will and Testament which makes it mandatory for the Guardian:
“to appoint in his own life-time him that shall become his successor.”
He had no alternative under this provision but to appoint one who would succeed him as the living “Center of the Cause” and “Interpreter of the Word of God” and the one whom every believer was enjoined to turn to after his passing, and this he faithfully did in appointing Charles Mason Remey as his successor.
Abdul Baha, the Center of the Covenant, was the only “Aghsan” appointed to a Divine Office by Baha’u’llah, as His other sons, with the exception of the Purest Branch, (who died at an early age) violated the Covenant of Baha’u’llah and thus deprived themselves from Divine guidance and consequently were cut off. Abdu’l Baha, in His last tablet to America, wrote:
“Consider! The Divine Gardener cuts off the dry or weak branch from the good tree and grafts to it, a branch from another tree. He both separates and unites. This is that which His Holiness Christ says: that from all the world they come and enter the Kingdom, and the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out.”
(World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 437)
Applicability to the above quoted Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha may be seen in the events that transpired and led to the way that Baha’u’llah appointed Abdu’l Baha and enjoined all faithful believers to recognize Him as the “Most Mighty Branch” and thereby the Center of His Covenant:
“The Will of the divine Testator is this: It is incumbent upon the Aghsan, the Afnan and My Kindred to turn, one and all, their faces towards the Most Mighty Branch. Consider that which We have revealed in Our Most Holy Book: 'When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces toward Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root.' The object of this sacred verse is none other except the Most Mighty Branch [Abdu'l-Baha].”
(Kitab-i-Ahd, Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 220)
Interestingly, Nakhjavani despite his transgression which exposed before has shamelessly quoted Words of Baha’u’llah from the Kitab-i-Iqan (Book of Certitude) regarding tests, a student who has been taught that 2 + 2 = 4 must come up in a subsequent test with the same result for, if she/he writes 2 + 2 = 3 she/he will fail, and not pass the Test. Tests in the Baha'i Faith are related to belief, faithfulness, steadfastness in and obedience to the laws, ordinances, commandments and the Teachings revealed by the Manifestation of God, and to one’s fidelity to the Center of His Covenant and to the chosen Ministers of that Covenant who are the appointed interpreters of His Word. As lying and forgery are strictly forbidden by the Manifestation of God, a believer who is tempted to lie or commit forgery to gain something will assuredly fail the test. During the prescribed nineteen-day period of the Baha'i Fast, which some believers may find as a form of test, the Fast will be broken and this test will be failed when they eat something during the day. Similarly, Nakhjavani and his colleagues have not passed the tests that faced them with the unexpected early passing of Shoghi Effendi, the first beloved Guardian of the Faith, a supreme test that they utterly failed because of their blatant disobedience to the commandments of the Center of the Covenant, Abdu'l-Baha, and in their abject failure to heed His dire warnings concerning the chastisement of God that awaits those who have been unfaithful to the living Guardian of the Cause of God, as stated in the following passage from His Will and Testament:
“whoso opposeth him [the Guardian] hath opposed God; whoso contendeth with them hath contended with God; whoso disputeth with him hath disputed with God; whoso denieth him hath denied God; whoso disbelieveth in him hath disbelieved in God; whoso deviateth, separateth himself and turneth aside from him hath in truth deviated, separated himself and turned aside from God. May the wrath, the fierce indignation, the vengeance of God rest upon him! The mighty stronghold shall remain impregnable and safe through obedience to him who is the Guardian of the Cause of God. It is incumbent upon the members of the House of Justice, upon all the Aghsan, the Afnan, the Hands of the Cause of God to show their obedience, submissiveness and subordination unto the Guardian of the Cause of God, to turn unto him and be lowly before him. He that opposeth him hath opposed the True One, will make a breach in the Cause of God, will subvert His Word and will become a manifestation of the Center of Sedition. Beware, beware, lest the days after the ascension (of Baha’u’llah) be repeated when the Center of Sedition waxed haughty and rebellious and with Divine Unity for his excuse deprived himself and perturbed and poisoned others”
(Abdu'l-Baha, The Will and Testament, p. 11)
Ruhiyyih Khanum and those Hands who followed her and believers like Nakhjavani who have disbelieved in, opposed, contended and disputed with, and denied the validity of the Guardians of the Cause of God, who have rightfully succeeded Shoghi Effendi, have deviated from, separated themselves and turned aside from the Covenant of Baha’u’llah and have demonstrated an incomprehensible disbelief in his faithfulness, steadfastness and complete obedience “to every provision” of the sacred Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha, have shamelessly accused him, in effect, of not fulfilling the most important duty of the Guardian of the Faith during his ministry and that is to carry out the very clear and mandatory commandment of Abdu’l-Baha to appoint his successor “in his life-time” as stipulated in the following passage of His Will and Testament:
“It is incumbent upon the Guardian of the Cause of God to appoint in his own life-time him that shall become his successor that differences may not arise after his passing.”
(Abdu’l-Baha,The Will and Testament, p. 11)
Moreover, Ruhiyyih Khanum and those Hands who blindly followed her after the passing of Shoghi Effendi and those believers, like Nakhjavani, who have flagrantly disregarded the warning of Abdu’l Baha that is found at the end of His sacred Will and Testament and are guilty of doing exactly what He has prohibited in the following passage of that sacred Document:
“Beware lest anyone falsely interpret these words, and like unto them that have broken the Covenant after the Day of Ascension (of Baha’u’llah) advance a pretext, raise the standard of revolt, wax stubborn and open wide the door of false interpretation. To none is given the right to put forth his own opinion or express his particular conviction.”
(Abdu’l-Baha, The Will and Testament, p. 25)
These violators are guilty of even shamelessly transgressing the provisions of Baha’u’llah’s Most Holy Book in falsely altering the meaning of paragraph 42 thereof in their unauthorized and erroneous interpretation of its intent and in their shameless disregard of the following warning of Baha’u’llah in the Aqdas:
“Whoso interpreteth what hath been sent down from the heaven of Revelation, and altereth its evident meaning, he, verily, is of them that have perverted the Sublime Word of God, and is of the lost ones in the Lucid Book.”
(The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 57)
