• The spiritual and ethical teachings of the Bahá'í Faith in comparison to Islam
• The claim of Bahá'u'lláh

About this title

From the Author

This book is an attempt to present the Bah‡'' Faith to Muslims. Since the inception of the B‡b' and Bah‡'' Faiths in Iran in 1844, the followers of these religions have been persecuted in many Muslim countries. Consequently there has been little opportunity for the teachings of the Bah‡'' Faith to be presented to Muslims in these places in a fair and unbiased manner. Most Muslims either know nothing about he Bah‡'' Faith at all or else know only what they have learned from prejudiced and biased accounts. Most of what Muslims think they know about the Bah‡'' Faith is in fact misinformation and exaggerations that have been propagated in newspapers, magazines and books in Muslim countries. The Bah‡''s themselves have been prevented from publishing their own works on the Bah‡'' Faith in these countries and they have not even been able to publish refutations of errors.
