The members of the Universal House of
Justice, designated by Baha'u'llah "the Men of Justice", "the
people of Baha who have been mentioned in the Book of Names", "the
Trustees of God amongst His servants and the daysprings of authority in His
countries”, shall in the discharge of their responsibilities ever bear in mind
the following standards set forth by Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Cause
of God:
Mr. Shahriyar Razavi – Profile
Mr. Shahriar Razavi is currently serving as a member of the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing body of the Bahá’í Faith. Prior to his election to the Universal House of Justice in 2008, served as a Counselor at the International Teaching Centre in Haifa, Israel. From 2003 till 2008. Mr. Razavi served as a counselor in Europe from 2000 to 2003.
Mr. SHAHRIAR RAZAVI holds a
degree in Physics from the University of London and worked as a management
consultant. He also served as an Auxiliary Board member in England.
Mr. Shahriyar Razavi – Nature and Characteristics
Dr. Shahriyar Razavi fled (spinelessly) from Iran in 1979 during the peak of Iranian revolution, defying orders of the Universal House of Justice. At that time Universal House of Justice (UHJ) was constantly asking the Iranian Bahais not to flee Iran. In fact the UHJ had warned that any Bahai leaving Iran from Mehrabad (Tehran) Airport would be risking loosing his voting rights.
As the Iranian authorities at the
Airport would not allow any Bahai to leave Iran, many Bahais fled Iran
declaring themselves as Muslims on the Immigration card. UHJ lost no time in
depriving them of their voting rights for such cases.
The Coward Mr. Shahriyar Razavi
also fled from Iran disobeying the orders of Universal House of Justice. Mr.
Razavi wrote on the Immigration form, while leaving Iran, that he is a Muslim.
Surprisingly he was not deprived of his voting rights rather he was awarded by
being elevated as an ABM in England. Later on he was raised as a Counselor from
2000 to 2003 and in 2003 he was selected for International Teaching Centre
where he served for five years. Finally he was elected on the supreme body.
While in UK , Mr. Razavi sowed the seeds of
discontent amongst the local Bahais when he would elaborate his close
relationship with Mr. Farzam Arbab. He was less of a Bahai and more a showman.
During his tenure as a counselor he grabbed every achievement of Bahai
community for himself.
Mr. Razavi’s Election to the supreme body demands an explanation from UHJ
1-Why was Mr. Razavi not deprived
of his voting rights for disobeying UHJ - as UHJ asked the Iranian Bahais not
to leave Iran but Mr. Razavi left? Did he not shamelessly sin and can a sinner
be elected to UHJ?
2-Is not depriving Mr. Razavi of
his voting rights an injustice to all those Bahais who left Iran through
Mehrabad Airport and who were deprived of their voting Rights? Why this double
standard with regards to Mr. Razavi?
3-Why was Mr. Shariyar Razavi not
declared a Covenant Breaker - as he broke the covenant with Bahaullah by
stating (with cowardice) on the immigration card that he was a Muslim. This is in stark contrast to
the sacrifice of the Yaraan, presently bravely facing imprisonment.
4-Why no action was taken against
him for sowing discontent amongst the local Bahais and the Persian Bahais in
the UK?
The Message of the UHJ to the Counselors says that:
“If it becomes necessary to modify the manner in which a given country
is being served, the Board should not hesitate to consult frankly on what
changes might need to be made. As all members of the Board bear responsibility
for the entire continent, no feelings of
territoriality or tradition should cloud their views as they consider what is
in the best interests of the Faith in a country at a given time.”
5-Why no action was taken against
him for companying his candidature for UHJ elections. How was he able to get 300
votes for himself?
6-When Mr. Razavi’s named was
announced as the member of UHJ, it took almost half an hour to come on the
stage, a case of extreme feigning of humbleness. No doubt Mr. Razavi had become
a seasoned actor, by then.
7-On what grounds was he promoted
to ABM, then Counselor for Europe and then ITC counselor. Although the
institution of the boards of Counselors was brought into being by the Universal
House of Justice to extend into the future the specific functions of protection
and propagation conferred upon the Hands of the Cause of God.
WAS THE METEORIC RISE BECAUSE HE BELONGED TO THE ELITE CLASS OF
PERSIANS WHO BELONGED TO FARZAM ARBAB-FAREDON JAWAHIRI-PAYMAN MOHAJIR GROUP WHO
FORMED AN “AXIS OF EVIL” TO CONTROL THE ELECTION OF UHJ THROUGH “RUHI BRIGADE.”
CAN WE TRUST A MAN WITH SUCH A PROFILE TO REPRESENT BAHAIS AT THE
HIGHEST LEVEL? WE CAN ONLY EXPECT INCOMPETENCY TO BLOSSOM WITH SUCH MEN AT HELM
OF AFFAIRS.
The Ruhi brigade that is now
controlling UHJ has changed the House from House of Justice to House of
Injustice. The Language used by the UHJ since this Ruhi brigade became
operative is abusive and full of disrespect to those Bahais who have sacrificed
their whole life for the Bahai Faith. The Bahais are now fearful to express
their genuine opinion and always they expect a ruthless retaliation from this
Ruhi brigade in form of an official letter from UHJ.
See the language used by UHJ in
its letter to two sincere Bahais Mr. Feroz Anaraki and Mr. Jamshed Fozdar
Letter
to Mr. Anaraki dated 2 February 2010
“Having considered Dr. Anaraki’s recent conduct, in particular the
manner in which he has chosen to respond to the question put to him about the
disclosure of confidential information, the House of Justice has concluded that
he has shown gross failure to fulfill the basic spiritual obligations of a
Bahá’í serving on an institution of the Faith. On that basis, you are
instructed to deprive him of his administrative privileges forthwith, a
sanction that will, of course, require his immediate removal from membership on
the Spiritual Assembly of Bangkok. You should notify the Assembly accordingly,
in a manner that you deem appropriate. Dr. Anaraki should be informed of the
reason for this decision, and he should also be told that if consideration is
to be given to lifting the sanction now imposed upon him he will first need to
demonstrate a pronounced change in attitude towards the institutions of the
Faith over an extended period of time.”
Letter
to Mr. Jamshed Fozdar 18 December 2007
“The House of Justice was most surprised to learn that, beyond
expressing such opinions in your letter to the Spiritual Assembly of Sarawak
and its attachments, you have been taking steps in a number of countries to
gather a cadre of believers around you, urging them to take action in support
of your particular views, which are often contrary to the clear direction being
given by the Universal House of Justice to the Bahá’í world. As you will
recall, in the letter to you dated 7 December 2004 sent on its behalf, the
House of Justice conveyed its displeasure regarding similar actions on your
part. Your obstinacy in persisting in this pattern of behavior demonstrates a
total disregard for the appeal made to you in that letter to correct your mode
of conduct. You should consider this letter a final warning, which if not
heeded will necessitate the removal of your administrative rights in the Bahá’í
community. The House of Justice would profoundly regret having to take such
action.”
CONSEQUENCES OF THE RUHI BRIGADE IN UHJ
If we want to restore the
previous glory of the Universal House of Justice, the Bahais of the world
should unite against this Ruhi Brigade which is nothing but the axis of Evil.
We should see that this evil axis is voted out in the next International
convention and see that sincere Bahais take the seat on UHJ.
Otherwise we will have
nice stories to tell to our Grand children that There Existed a Faith Called as
Bahai Faith. This consequence is indicated in the Message of the UHJ dated Dec
28, 2010 to the Baha’is all over the World That:
“A drop in participation, a disruption in the
cycles of activity, a momentary breach in the bonds of unity--these are among
the myriad challenges that may have to be met.”
