Letter From Shoghi Effendi, First Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith to Charles Mason Remey, Second Bahá'í Guardian, November 11, 1936

 Dearly beloved co-worker: 

    I rejoice to learn of your constant efforts and accomplishments in the teaching field. How pleased is the Beloved Master with you His beloved "son"!  Your fidelity and devotion, your constancy and courage deserve the highest praise.  With a grateful heart I will pray for you and for the development and extension of your teaching activities.  

                                                Your true brother,

                                                    Shoghi


Dar Mr. Remey,

    The Guardian has been pleased to receive your very kind letter of the first October, and has directed me to convey to you his deepest thanks for it, and specially for your most valuable gift of the brass plaque inscribed with the Greatest Name which you have, at his suggestion, offered to be hung at the Shrine of the Báb on Mt. Carmel.  This constitutes one more one more valuable gift you have presented to the Holy Tombs, and he feels certain it will considerably embellish that sacred spot.  

    It was a pleasure to the Guardian to learn that you have so warmly entertained Mrs. Hoagg in your home.  He is delighted in her many accomplishments in the teaching field.  The share she is contributing to the success of the teaching campaign organized by the N.S.A. is truly praiseworthy.  May the beloved give her continued strength to carry on her labors. 

    With the renewed assurance of the Guardian's prayers for you, and with his cordial greetings, 

                                                Sincerely in His Service,

                                                H. Rabbani

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...
