Baha'i Allegations Against Subh-i Azal

2.    Allegations By Baha

2.5   Baha’s Risala

2.5.1. The Murder of Mirza Ali Akbar
In his Risala of A.H. 1286 (1869-1870), manuscript, p. 68, Baha speaks of the assassination of Dayyan only (See section ??? for Dayyan). In the Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, which he wrote about one year before his death at Acre in 1892, pp. 173-176, Baha alleges that “Dayyan together with Mirza Ali Akbar, one of the relatives of the Primal Point, and Abul-Qasim-i Kashi and several others suffered martyrdom through the decree pronounced by Mirza Yahya.”

In god passes by, p.125, Shoghi Effendi alleges that “Mirza Yahya ordered that the cousin of the BÁB, Mirza Ali Akbar, a fervent admirer of Dayyan, be secretly put to death, a command which was carried out.” In ibid, p.165, Shoghi Effendi repeats this allegation “as attested by Aqay-i-Kalim [Baha’s full brother Mirza Musa named Interlocutor because he talked with Baha] and repeated by Nabil in his Narrative, the text of which has not been released for publication. Shoghi Effendi makes no mention of “Abul-Qasim-i-Kashi and several others” referred to by Baha.

No information is available about this man, reference is made to one Sayyid Ali Akbar of Shiraz in T.A. P.411. Mirza Ali Akbar apparently hailed from Shiraz.

Abul Qasim-i-Kashi is identical with Aqa Abul Qasim of Kashan who accompanied Subh-i-Azal from Kermanshah to Baghdad and for whom Subh-i-Azal wrote the Akhlaq-al-Ruhaniyyin in Baghdad. He was murdered by Baha’s men in Baghdad after Baha’s return from Suleymaniyya to Baghdad (see section 12.4.4). Dr. Browne’s Persian Introduction to the Nuqta-al-Kaf. P.43.


2.5.1. The Murder of “Several Others”
Baha’s allegation is dismissed as absurd as he does not designate them by name for purpose of investigation and verification of his allegation.
