'Abdu'l-Bahá - The Appointed Covenant - Warns Against Violation

Firmness in the Covenant is not mere words. If a soul shall utter a word without the sanctions of the Covenant, he is not firm. Baha'o'llah appointed a Covenant in order to ward off discussions, so that no one should give his own opinion, but that the Center should be referred to. This is the reality of the question. Whatever the Center of the Covenant says is correct. No one should utter a word of himself. Baha'o'llah has even called down the vengence of God upon any one who violates the Center of the Covenant. Beware, beware, lest ye be shaken! Remain firm and steadfast even though the people of heaven try to shake you. The command is explicit! Extract from Tablet, April 19, 1914.

The Covenant Trilogy by Charles Gaines, 1960

  The GUARDIANSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION FIRST INTRODUCTION             In the face of such trials and tests as these times are likely to lay upon the entire Baha'i World, it is imperative that we take a second look at Baha'i and see what it is that this beloved Faith of ours teaches, stands for and requires, if it is to be triumphant over the sinister forces of nature and of an unregenerate humanity.  It is clearly evident how “humanity is languishing upon a bed of sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned.” and it behooves all men to examine anew the remedy that has been prescribed by the Divine Physician, which alone can “deliver mankind from this desolating affliction” and “fuse its discordant, elements” into one organic, indivisible whole; to ponder dispassionately and penetrate, to depths unparalleled, the “wholesome medicine”, the “Elixir” that can “cleanse and revive” a humanity sick unto death; to st...

E.S. Yazdani, Fifth Bahá'í Guardian: A Response to “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988: A Survey of Contemporary Developments.” by Smith-Momen

  O THOU GLORY OF THE MOST GLORIOUS Office of Fifth Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith   When the fundamental basis of the Bahá’í Faith is interfered with , the very foundation of the Bahá’í Administration changes. Furthermore, the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh deviates from its divinely established course; the authentic Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh, as defined in The Kitáb-i-Ahd , The Kitáb-i-Aqdas , and The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá , is replaced by a man-made covenant, altering the standards of the Bahá’í Faith; progress and development in the present administration in Haifa as well as in the worldwide community of believers lose their meaning and is no longer relevant. This is true regardless of any period surveyed or comparison made to another time.   This is the case in an article written by Peter Smith and Moojan Momen. The article appeared on Bahá’ì Library Online 1 , as well as on Academia 1 , under the title, “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988...

The Current 'Bahá'í' Administration is an Anti-Christ Institution

  The Hands created an anti-Christ organization when they broke the Covenant by discarding the Institution of the Guardianship.   The title ‘Christ’ is synonymous with the word ‘Messiah’.   The word Christ is Greek and Messiah is Hebrew.   Both terms refer to the anointed son of David.   Zechariah 4:11-14 prophesies the coming of two anointed sons of David who will serve the Lord.   Jesus changes a fisherman’s name from Simon to Peter because he accurately identifies Jesus as the awaited Christ.   The name Peter means ‘rock’ which is a symbol used in the New Testament to signify the strength of the church built on logical proofs of fulfilled prophecies; the foundation of humanity’s faith in God.   Rational proofs allow individuals to enjoy a profound level of certitude in their spiritual beliefs.     Unfortunately, while Jesus was alive, nobody understood that He was the Christ prophesied to suffer and die in I...
