The Baha'i Studies Listserv >> 2. At the end of the day, even while using this language of cycles, Bahais will still say that the Bab and Bahaullah are prophets / messengers so that still is a basic problem from an Islamic perspective. <<
More important than what I said in my previous message, is the concept of gradual revelation. Sometime when Bahai authors refer to the Bab and Bahaullah as rasuls or Messengers, this is because people are not yet prepared to understand that all the unknowns of God as explained in the Bible and Quran were Manifested in the Bab and then at it's fullest manifestation in Bahaullah. This is hard to understand spiritually. (now see my explanation for shirk).
