The people who are Baha'is are just human beings, not fundamentally different from anyone else.  So Muslims in the future will be safe, not because Baha'is are more virtuous than their predecessors, but because God protects the Baha'is - and everyone else - through the Covenant, whose center now is the Universal House of Justice.

Dear Tim,

 

I don’t want to seem tedious, but I think this is exaggerated: “Baha'is are more virtuous than their predecessors”.

We are not more virtuous than Muslims in their matching time (Islamic Dispensation) or Christians (Christian Dispensation) or Jews (Judaic Dispensation) or another. It is more honest to say we are “fortunate” because we are living in the Promised Day or the Day of God, etc., but the fact to be a “bahá’í” doesn’t make automatically “a virtuous bahá’í” or “a good bahá’í”.

 

Best regards,

 

Hasan
