When I look it up the issue seems confusing. Some sites critical of the Bahai faith seem to list the status of Confucius as a blatant contradiction. ] There is a talk of Abdul-Baha's which says: Blessed soulsâwhether Moses, Jesus, Zoroaster, Krishna, Buddha, Confucius or Muhammadâwere the cause of the illumination of the world of humanity. How can we deny such irrefutable proof? How can we be blind to such light? How can we dispute the validity of Christ? This is injustice. This is a denial of reality. Man must be just. We must set aside bias and prejudice. We must abandon the imitations of ancestors and forefathers. We ourselves must investigate reality and be fair in judgement.
