Abstract (EN)

Bahá'ísm is a Mahdi movement that has extreme views, emerged on a politicalcharismatic leader-based discourse and goes back to Siyyid Kázim-i-Rashtí in the 19th century Iran who was the second leader of the Shaykhiyya Order of the Shi'ite-Imamiyye Sect (d. 1259/1843) with a connection to the movement's founder Bahá'u'lláh Mírzá Huseyin (d. 1309/1892). Bahá'ís who claim that the prophethood continued after Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) with the appearance of Báb and Bahá'u'lláh and the revelation process continued after the Qur'an with the books of Bayán and Aqdas, significantly diverged from the Islamic faith tradition in a century and a half. Bahá'ís who suggest that the door or revelation between Allah and prophets shall never be closed, differed from Shaykhiyya that see the existence of a Kámil Shia (that has the infallible knowledge of the Imams) and developed the belief that individuals who are the Manifestation of God, that directly reach the knowledge of the revelation and possess the attributes of the prophets, shall exist in every era. Therefore, the Bahá'í creed, that is shaped by two manifestations of God through Báb and Bahá'u'lláh and two holy books in Bayán and Kitab-i Aqdas, claim that the two legal sources of Islam, ie. Qur'an and Sunnah, are abrogated by the appearance of Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. viii Today, Bahá'ís who want to re-establish the position of their creed differently than Islam through their emphasis on Kitab-i Aqdas, claim that (Bahá'u'lláh Mírzá Huseyin) who never commits sins and has the most great infallibility is a "Prophet". Also, they believe that Bahá'ísm should be accepted as a religion by all the nations of the World.
