Take a look at this web page:

The Holy Prophet of Islam (pbuh) prophesised that “there will arise 30 imposters in my nation and each one of them will pronounce that he is a prophet, but I am the last in the line of the Prophets and no Messenger will follow me.”
(There follows a list of these “false prophets” including….)
Bab: Another false claimant to prophethood, and the predecessor of Bahaullah, was Mizra Ali Muhammad, who initially declared himself the “Bab” (Gate) to the Mahdi, and eventually progressed into other claims. He was embraced by the Shaykhis sect of Shi’a , who were then renamed “Babis”. Subsequently, he declared himself to be the Shi’ite’s hidden Mahdi. After declaring himself the Mahdi, he moved on to call himself Nuqtiyiula and declared that the Quran and Muslim Shari’a were now abrogated. Shi’a and Sunni scholars condemned him and Bab faced a series of imprisonment, trials, and indignities before being shot dead by a firing squad in 1850.
Bahaullah: The self-proclaimed successor to the Bab, and another liar/false claimant to prophecy was Mizra Hussein Ali Nuri. In 1863 Hussein Ali, a prominent member of the Babi group, declared himself to be the person whom God will make manifest, whom the Bab had foretold. He also took the name Bahaullah (Glory of God) and formed a new religion, the Bahai faith. Bahaullah was banished from Persia and was eventually imprisoned in Akka-Palestine. There he wrote his main work, his Kitab-ul-Aqdas (Most Holy Book), and developed the doctrine of the Bahai faith into a comprehensive teaching.
So as you can see, the situation is clear. There were many false prophets who came after Mohammed(pbuh). There is nothing to show that the Bahai Faith stands out from any other false religion.
In my Critical Analysis of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, I discredited Baha’u’llah. I did not do so because of my belief in Muhammad.
Question: How can we know that Muhammad himself was not a false prophet too? If your only reason for rejecting a claimant to prophethood is that he came after Muhammad, then why can’t Christians reject Muhammad because he came after Jesus? According to Christian teachings, NO ONE can ever replace Jesus, not even Muhammad! Jesus was the Son of God!
I have long believed that Muhammad was a liar and insulter of Allah precisely because he claimed to be the last Prophet or Messenger, because such a claim means that Allah is silenced forever, thus denying Allah’s sovereignty. And if you deny that, how can you be a credible servant of Allah?
Fifthly, the teachings and revelations cannot have contradictions. For example, saying that God is Truthful and Keeper of promises, but then say that God broke his promise to Noah about the hour of the flood (Kitab-i-Eqan). Isn’t it contradictory? or that Men and Women are equal but yet women cannot serve on the highest council in the Bahai Faith called the Universal House of Justice?
Well, here in this blog entry I have shown a contradiction of Islam. Muhammad was a fraud and Muslims might as well all be atheists.
A Muslim on reddit said this to me.
{{{Why did you write this utter foolishness? Your assertion rests on a false equivalence. Allah (SWT) not sending down any new Revelation after the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) does not mean He is silenced, the saints after the Prophet (PBUH) attest to that. Even the Quran, brought to you by the Prophet, attests that Allah (SWT) cannot be silenced: Q: 31:27 And if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.}}}
That verse in the Quran is quoted correctly.

{{{31:27 And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea, with seven more seas to help it, (were ink), the words of Allah could not be exhausted. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise. }}}
But…..if there are to be no more revelations from Allah after Muhammad, from where can more words from Allah possibly come? Do people like that Muslim ever think about such matters logically? Obviously not!
“Well, here in this blog entry I have shown a contradiction of Islam. ”
I don’t see any contradiction, only some passages from Baha’i, lol.
You brought some passages from the Bahai faith which is completely separate from Islam, then you said these words at the end of your blog!?? Can you spot how illogic you sound?
How can we know that Muhammad himself was not a false prophet too?
Answer: Quran preserved in its original language for 14 centuries, talks about nature, galaxy, human embryology. Did you ever type miracles of the Quran on youtube?
If your only reason for rejecting a claimant to prophethood is that he came after Muhammad, then why can’t Christians reject Muhammad because he came after Jesus?
Answer: 1.because No other prophets claimed they are the last one. On the contrary, they told us other messengers will follow. 2. God in the Quran, his own book, says “Now I have perfected your religion”. This was not said in Torah, Bible, other previous holy scriptures, because Islam is not a new religion, it is the continuation of the same monotheistic of Abraham religion.
Dale, you seem like a smart guy, I adore most of what you say. Here is a youtube playlist for you might find interesting: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB2gAL9wifZQVghJLRTvakKYlxGe3uBF1
The Message Movie: Have you seen it? If you seeking truth, not mistakes, watch this movie: a glimpse of Islam history:

Wrong! The quotations were from a website slamming the Baha’i religion. I did not quote from any Baha’i writings in the above blog entry.
{{{Quran preserved in its original language for 14 centuries, talks about nature, galaxy, human embryology. Did you ever type miracles of the Quran on youtube?}}}
Christian apologists have made similar claims regarding passages in the Bible [the Bible is not a book of science, but when it does refer to scientific concepts it portrays them accurately]. I showed how wrong that assumption was here:

and here:
https://dalehusband.com/2020/03/15/joshua-a-biblical-book-of-genocide-and-scientific-absurdity/
And I am sure if I look online I can find critiques of claims made about the Quran.Oh, wait….

{{{1.because No other prophets claimed they are the last one. On the contrary, they told us other messengers will follow.}}}
That’s NOT what Christians claim; they consider Jesus to be the last and greatest Messenger (and the Son of God), which is why they reject Islam. Jesus did NOT predict another Messenger at all. Islamic claims that he did are a misinterpretation of Christian scriptures. If you are a Christian, you must believe that NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THE PLACE OF JESUS!
{{{God in the Quran, his own book, says “Now I have perfected your religion”. This was not said in Torah, Bible, other previous holy scriptures, because Islam is not a new religion, it is the continuation of the same monotheistic of Abraham religion.}}}
Jews and Christians likewise consider their faiths perfectly made by God, only corrupted by men later. And if Islam is the continuation of the same ancient faith of Abraham…..Jews and Christians would call themselves Muslims today. THEY DO NOT! They think they are also loyal to the faith in God of Abraham, even though their faiths differ from yours.
I may watch some of those “There is no Clash” videos, but I will not waste time with a THREE HOUR LONG movie.
