Flagrant Violation and Subtle Apostasy Exposed – PART 3 by Nosrat’u’llah Behremand ( The Living Guardian of Baha’i Faith )

Nakhjavani has written:

“When the English translation of the Kitab-i-Aqdas was published in 1992, the Universal House of Justice had yet another opportunity to explain the implications of Paragraph 42 of the Most Holy Book. In relation to the Law of Succession in the Faith, this paragraph stands out as a most significant and decisive statement. For, in this paragraph, Baha’u’llah clearly envisages a time when there would be no institution to embody the functions incumbent upon the Appointed and Authorized Aghsan (that is to say, a Guardianship). Further, the Universal House of Justice would not exist at that time and it would not be propitious to elect that Body. These points are fully covered in Notes 66 and 67, (pages 196 and 197) of the English text of the Kitab-i-Aqdas. “

Comment:

In the above paragraph, Nakhjavani has based his comments on the same joint nefarious statements originally made by the former Hands and subsequently by the bogus UHJ in which they have falsely and shamelessly misinterpreted the meaning of passages contained in the Aqdasthat Most Holy Book and spread false rumors. Knowledgeable believers will know that the right of interpretation and explanation of verses of the Aqdas, following the ascension of Abdu’l Baha. is in the exclusive sphere of the authority of the Guardians of the Baha’i Faith and even a real and legitimate Universal House of Justice established in conformity with the Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha, will never infringe on that authority, as stated by Shoghi Effendi:

“Neither can nor will ever, infringe upon the sacred and prescribed domain of the other.” (The World Order of Baha’u’llah, p. 150).

In 1992 when they translated and published the Aqdas into English they added some notes to the Book, many of which contain unauthorized and erroneous interpretations.

It was previously mentioned above that the institutions of the international and local Houses of Justice were ordained by Baha’u’llah, but in most of the cases simply the phrase: “the House of Justice” is revealed, leaving the distinction to be made between them by the authorized interpreter of His words. This fact somehow has been admitted by the bogus UHJ, among their many wrongs and unauthorized interpretations that sinfully they have made of passages in this Holy Book in the following statement:

“In referring to the House of Justice in the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Baha’u’llah does not always explicitly distinguish between the Universal House of Justice and tire Local House of Justice, both of which institutions are ordained in that Book. He usually refers simply to “the House of Justice,” leaving open for later clarification the level or levels of the whole institution to which each law would apply.”(The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Notes, p. 185)

One instance in which Baha’u’llah indicates the level of the House of Justice is in the verse of the Kitab-i-Aqdas in which He reveals and prescribes the use of endowments “dedicated to charity” and explains how they are to be used by the Houses of Justice when they will be established in cities (Paragraph 42). The forged UHJ in its unauthorized translation conveniently and sinfully changed the meaning of the word “bilaad” (cities) in the passage, to “world,” to suit their evil intentions. The members of the Bogus UHJ not only are guilty of this forgery and alteration, but have shamelessly and falsely altered the meaning of the whole paragraph by their unauthorized and erroneous interpretation and have not taken any notice of the following warning of Baha’u’llah in the Aqdas:

“Whoso interpreted 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)

They have falsely interpreted the term “Aghsan” to mean a reference to the Guardians and the phrase “people of Baha” a term that applies exclusively to the now violating Hands. While the whole paragraph is about “endowments” and has nothing to do with the Guardianship, It is pertinent to know that Abdu’l Baha during His ministry explained the proper course to be pursued with respect to such endowments in one of His Tablets in which he provided the following instructions and guidance: “Prior to the establishment of the House of Justice, endowments dedicated to charity revert to a Spiritual Assembly which is free from remnants of concupiscence. There is no other arrangement.”

(Ganjineh-i-hodood va Ahkam, p.22I)

 

According to the commandment of Abdu’l-Baha Local Spiritual Assemblies and later the national bodies (the respective representatives of the People of Baha and embryonic Houses of Justice) managed their local and national endowments and also Shoghi Effendi during his ministry, in more than one hundred of his messages and letters, strongly encouraged National and Local Spiritual Assemblies to establish local and national endowments, even urging the National Spiritual Assemblies to have a part of their International endowments in the Holy Land registered in their names.
