The camaraderie of religion has been preached in other religions including Islam before Baha’ism

Bahaismiran:

One of the twelve principles of Baha’ism is that religion should create camaraderie. Baha’is claim that Bahaullah has brought a new religion aiming establishing worldwide peace and the unity of human world; the peace should create camaraderie.

Abdul Baha writes:

“The third teaching of the Excellency Bahaullah is that religion should make camaraderie and communication among people. If religion makes enmity, it will be better not exist. Being irreligious is better than being religious.”[1]

He also says:

“Religion should create Camaraderie. If religion makes enmity, it will be useless. Being irreligious will be better; because it makes enmity among humane beings. Everything that causes enmity will be raged by God. Everything that causes affection and kindness will be praised and accepted. If religion creates murder and savagery. Being irreligious is better in this case; because religion resembles remedy. If remedy causes illness; of course, it will be better for it not exist. Consequently, if religion causes fighting and murder, being irreligious will be better, of course.[2]”

Abdul Baha says:

“If a religion creates differences rather than unity, it will be better for it not exist. Religion must create unity and relate hearts. The Excellency Jesus Christ and the divine prophets have been sent for creating affection and unity; so it will be better for a religion not exist if it creates differences.[3]”

Q: The question is that: Is this teaching specially used by the Baha’is and it hasn’t heard before Baha’ism?

A: The truth is that all the divine messengers have been sent and appeared among people in order to remove differences and create affection and camaraderie among human beings contrary to the Baha’i claim regarding this issue that this teaching is new and Bahaullah has saved human being via this teaching. This reality is so clear that Bahaullah himself confesses and says: “All the divine prophets have been sent to educate people and to grow up immature essences and to create camaraderie and affection among people rather than grudge and enmity.[4]”

In the holy Quran, all the Surahs start with divine and goldy features.[5] In this regard the holy prophet (P.H.) states: “A person who doesn’t treat kindly, the divine mercy doesn’t encompass him/her.[6]”

The religion of Islam is the religion of forgiveness and ease. The holy prophet states: “I have been chosen as a prophet to bring a religion of forgiveness and ease.[7]” the mentioned above evidence are the indications of this issue that these teachings haven’t been invel invented by Bahaullah. The religion of Islam has confirmed and stressed them before Baha’ism is made.
