The Fate of the Point’s Writings
11. Avareh’s version Of Account
The Kashf-al Hiyal (The Uncovering of Deceptions) by Abdul Husayn Ayati, nicknamed Avareh, Vol III, 3rd impression,
PP. 210-212:
“Because they lived without working or their living free, practice
of letter or verse writing is a hobby which members of Baha’s family are apt to
ride.” The example was set by “Baha himself who practised verse-writing for
twelve years to be able to write something like the BAB, as regards the style,
composition and penmanship.”
“How many epistles and
documents of the BAB were destroyed by Baha because they were deleterious to
Baha’s interest! How many spurious epistles and
documents, product of Baha’s fertile mind, were made public and palmed off on
the BABis as the BAB’s!”
After Baha’s death, Abdul Baha Abbas applied the same tactics “as
regards the epistles of his father Baha.” Under the pretence or pretext that
they are required at his headquarters at Acre, Abdul Baha Abbas “recovered and destroyed some of these epistles.”
“He forged some others and foisted them on his followers.” Shoghi Effendi is
now “in footsteps” of Abdul Baha Abbas.
“Asked about his casting into the Shat-al-Arab the documents
containing the verses revealed to him at Baghdad, Baha said:
“These are divine bounties destined for the fish in the Tigris as their share or
portion.” For Baha’s practice of verse-writing see section 9.2.2.
The Kashf-al Hiyal, Vol II, 2nd impression P. 50 or the
Kashful-Hiyal, Vol II, 3rd impression P. 68:
“The BAB’s works contained no indication of the appearance of
another divine manifestation except after the elapse of about two thousand
years reckoning from the BAB’s dispensation. Further the BAB’s works made no
provision for Baha’s vicegerency. On the contrary, they made specific provision
for Subh-i Azal’s vicegerency. This accounts for Baha’s recourse to any
artifice and stratagem to destroy the BAB’s works. Baha was bent upon
destroying the Bayan. But he met with failure.”
