To all Malaysian Malay (Melayu) Muslims, I have a quickie warning to be given to every one of you today. It is very important so please bear with me on this.
It has come to my attention that the Baha’i Faith organization is now attempting to spread their teachings here in Malaysia. I stumbled upon their ambition by accident earlier today. I realized it when I saw a Google-based online advertisement promoting their teachings in the internet.
It seems that the Baha’i Faith organization has all ready secured a very strong footing in Sarawak. As matter of fact, they have opened a few Baha’i Faith centers over there. They even have an office, suspiciously named as Sarawak National Spiritual Assembly Office located in Kuching.
Please forward this finding to our Religious Departments as soon as possible. I will of course do the same but let us all do that in numbers. Only then they would look into this with some fair commitment.
My fears are with our naïve and some time stupid Malaysian Malay Muslim teenagers. I sincerely hope that we are not too late in relaying this warning to our Malaysian Malay community.

Sorry, but in what way is Baha'i a threat?
I read your dire warning about Bahai; after reading their site www.bahai.org thoroughly , one finds nothing but the promotion of God and His teachings.
could you please point out what the big scare is and how it might damage the Umma?
thank you
Take note that I’m not waging a war on the Baha’i Faith and certainly not looking for any trouble with them.
As a concerned Muslim, I would do what I can to protect my Muslim brothers and sisters. Like what I had said in my original posting, my fears are with the young Muslims in my country. They are naive and can easily be deceived.
Instead of hitting me with unpleasant accusations, maybe you guys should stop and think for a second. What would you do if you are in my shoes? I’m sure that you would have done the same. So please do not question my action. You would have reacted in the same manner yourself.
Anyway, I never said that the Baha’i Faith was wrong or anything. I’m in no position to determine that. That’s why I had asked numerous Religious Departments to look into this matter. They should come out with an explanation or some kind of message to all Muslims in my country. Let us wait and see what they have to say about this.
Peace…
This is a long post as a response to all concerned brothers and sisters...
your original post and warning has led one to find out why some consider Bahai such a threat to Islam...I thank the internet for the following research..
Our only concern at this time should be to refer to the relevant sura about the rejection of something that might actually be our salvation..at such a critical time when the name of Islam is equated with so many falsities...
In fact it seems that the very first followers of Bahai were some of the most devout and learned Muslims of their time; some even who fought the bahai for twenty years...who subsequntly were slaughtered in the thousands..
there is a reference to a certain muslim scholar
Mirza Abu'l-Fadl Gulpaygani,
Abu'l-Fadl Gulpaygani, Mirza (Mirza Abu'l-Fada'il, 1844-1914). Preeminent Iranian Baha'i scholar and author, who also contributed a great deal to the advance of the Baha'i Faith in Turkmenistan, Egypt, and the United States. He was designated as one of the Apostles of Baha'u'llah (q.v.) by Shoghi Effendi.
1. Early life. Mirza Abu'l-Fadl was born in a village near Gulpaygan, central Iran, in Jumadi II 1260/June-July 1844. His given name was Muhammad, and he chose for himself the epithet Abu'l-Fadl (progenitor of virtue), but `Abdu'l-Baha frequently addressed him as Abu'l-Fada'il (progenitor of virtues). His father, Mirza Muhammad Rida Shari`atmadar, was a prominent religious leader in the town, and his mother, Sharafu'n-Nisa, was related to the Imam-Jum`ih (prayer leader) of the town. After completing preliminary studies in Gulpaygan, he went to Sultanabad (Arak), and then, in about 1868 he left for Isfahan, where the Imam-Jum`ih, Sayyid Muhammad Sultanu'l-`Ulama, who was a friend of his father, gave him a room in one of the religious colleges. He remained there for three years. After the death of his father in the winter of 1871, his brothers schemed against Abu'l-Fadl and took all of the inheritance of his father. In October 1873, Mirza Abu'l-Fadl left Gulpaygan for Tehran. Here he was invited to take up residence and teach kalam (speculative theology) at one of the religious colleges of the capital, the Madrasih Hakim Hashim (later known as the Madrasih Madar-i-Shah). This afforded him the opportunity of following up his interest in philosophy and mystical philosophy (`irfan) by attending the lectures of one of the leading exponents of this subject, Mirza Abu'l-Hasan Jilvih. He also pursued other interests of his: the history of religion--he took the opportunity of learning from two Buddhist scholars who happened to be in Tehran; and he learned of European science from the European instructors at the Daru'l-Funun (the technical college set up by the Shah). Within a short time, he had been chosen to be the head of the Madrasih Hakim Hashim.
2. Conversion and arrests (1876-1886). While he was living in Tehran, Gulpaygani had several encounters with Baha'is, starting in about the beginning of 1876. On one occasion he was astonished at the perceptiveness of an illiterate farrier whom he was told was a Baha'i. He came to know a cloth-seller called Aqa `Abdu'l-Karim. Although this man was uneducated, Gulpaygani came to appreciate his moral qualities and the keenness of his mind. Aqa `Abdu'l-Karim used to discuss with Gulpaygani difficult religious questions, quite unexpected for someone of no learning. Eventually it emerged that Aqa `Abdu'l-Karim was a Baha'i and that many of the points that he had been making were derived from Baha'i scripture. Gulpaygani was at first sad that such a good man should be a Baha'i but then became curious and asked to meet others.
For several months Gulpaygani met with some of the leading Baha'is including Nabil-i-Akbar (q.v.), Aqa Mirza Haydar `Ali Ardistani, and Mirza Isma`il Dhabih. While he was in the house of the last-named, he read two of Baha'u'llah's tablets, the Lawh-i-Ra`is (q.v.) and the Lawh-i-Fu'ad, which contain prophecies of the fall of the Ottoman vizier `Ali Pasha and of Sultan `Abdu'l-`Aziz, and of the loss of Edirne to the Sultan. He determined that if the events portrayed in those tablets came to pass, he would believe in Baha'u'llah. A few months later, precisely the events foretold occurred and Gulpaygani became a Baha'i on 20 September 1876.
As soon as he became a Baha'i, Gulpaygani began to talk to others about the new religion. Word soon spread of his conversion and he was dismissed from his post at the religious college. It happened that Manikji Sahib, who had come from India as the representative of the Indian Parsi (Zoroastrian) community, was looking for a teacher for a school that he had established for Zoroastrian children, and he invited Gulpaygani, who accepted gladly. A number of the prominent Zoroastrian converts to the Baha'i Faith were his pupils at the school (including Ustad Javanmard and Mulla Bahram Akhtar-Khavari).
During the next ten years that Gulpaygani spent in Tehran, he actively taught the Baha'i Faith in the capital. He played a role in the production by Mirza Husyan Hamadani of the Tarikh-i-Jadid (The New History), an account of the history of the Babi and early Baha'i religions, commissioned by Manikji. He was also imprisoned on three occasions: first in December 1876, when he was imprisoned for five months, after it became known that he had become a Baha'i; second in 1882-83, when some fifty of the prominent Baha'is of Tehran were arrested on the orders of the governor Kamran Mirza and at the instigation of one of the religious leaders of the city, Sayyid Sadiq Sanglaji, and held for nineteen months (BBR 292-95); and in October 1885 for six months, again on the orders of Kamran Mirza.

who taught at the foremost Islamic university (Al Ahram ??) the foremost centre of Islamic learing in cairo in the early 1900's who actually after becomig a Bahai, wrote treatise and proofs about prophecies in The Holy Quran as related to the authenticity of The Bahai Claim.
They have no clergy and propose that each person should independantly through, study fasting and prayer should ask God to lead him to the right path.
How dangerous is that?
please forgive the long comment..
just stumbled upon your blog while surfing the net...the way you use the word "attempting" is like the Bahai's are new in malaysia...the Bahai religion have been in malaysia for over 50 years...they are recognised by the goverment as one of the religion in Malaysia
The Bahai faith is a false man-made religion of Husayn Ali the persian. marilah kita sama2 membenteras ajaran Bahai yg sesat. Their 'oneness of god' is actually shirik, their kiblat is a grave, their founder claimed to be god, no proper jurisprudence like in Islam, they show you a nice face, but they are agents of Israel. Kalau sapa2 nak full details, I boleh provide pasal saya bekas org bahai juga, saya tahu macam mane diorg ini berfikir. I haven't made a formal complaint at Jabatan Agama yet, but talks with them show that they too are interested in curbing this deviated sect.
The problem lies in their acceptance of Muhammad (s.a.w). They are basically muslims, but they believe in another prophet and thats what makes them the enemy. Musailimah the liar was a false prophet who appeared in the time of Prophet Muhammad but our prophet reiterated that he was the last prophet and no new religion will come after him (in his last sermon, authenticated sahih). Abu Bakr waged war against Musailimah. War you know! We can learn from the Sahabahs that there are things tolerable to muslims but not a false prophet!

Dear Maya,
Your argument is weak and pathetic.
Prophet Muhammad (saw@pbuh) is the Last Messenger of Allah swt and that is all that matters to good Muslims.

I don't don't know what people have been telling you but let me just say Baha'i is not a religion from God. :-)
