[edit]- Some Answered Questions, Chapter 4
Was not Zoroaster
[edit]"Zoroaster was not Abraham; the Muslims, some of them, contend that they were the same, but we believe they were two distinct Prophets. There is a misunderstanding in the reference in 'Bahá'í Proofs' to this matter."
- (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi: Letters from the Guardian to Australia and New Zealand, p. 41, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1690)
Was not Krishna (and no connection we know of)
[edit]"Abraham and Krishna are two separate individuals, with no connection that we know of.
- (November 25, 1950, to an individual believer, taken from a compilation of extracts from letters written on behalf of the Guardian on these and related subjects, enclosed with a letter to an individual believer on November 30, 1980 from the Universal House of Justice, Lights of Guidance, no. 1696)
"As to the religion of the Sabeans very little is known about the origins of this religion, though we Bahá’ís are certain of one thing, that the founder of it has been a divinely-sent Messenger. The country where Sabeanism became widespread and flourished was Chaldea, and Abraham is considered as having been a follower of that Faith."
- (From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, November 10, 1939, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1694)
