Bab\'ism and Baha\'ism thoughts are religious cults which were
created by colonialists in order to deviate original and pure
Islamic thoughts and to campaign the foundation of spiritual
guidance and priesthood that are consistently going to fight with
the dominance of aliens on our lands and determine the fate of
Muslims in Iranian Islamic community .
The thought and functions of followers of Bab\'ism and
Baha\'ism cults had been in serving colonialists and achieving their
I’ll-fated and evil aims in Islamic societies especially in Iranian
community unlike their claims and so-called night pretention and
different propagandistic commotions from the beginning till now .
There are enormous undoubted and historical documents and
evidences concerning this reality .
Of course , one of basic tasks of foundations and
organizations which deal with these documents is that they public
these documents and evidences in order to edify the public
thoughts and to neutralize blustery propaganda , pretention , and
forging realities by such political currents and semi-religious
dependent cults .
The compiling and publishing this work is an attempt to reveal
anti-religion , anti –national nature of semi-religious , extremely
basic and definitely colonial cult of Baha\'ism in Iran . The research
offices of Keyhan institute intimately welcome the cooperation of
researchers and aware thinkers to offer creative suggestions ,
compile and complete such researchers .

Part one : The History of Emergence of the Cult
Foot print of Russia and England
The sedition of Bab and Baha is one of important plans which
was started in the middle of Qajar dynasty to hurt Islam specially
shiism by colonial centers and in its continuation of black and
corrupt life , it was going to beat this true religion consistently
alongside Islam enemies and to destroy anti-hegemonistic nature .
The purpose of designers of this sedition was trying to break the
honor and national authority of the Iranian which was created in
Safavi era by Shiism and threatened the interests of colonial and
hegemonistic powers .
The first foreign groups and elements who entered Iran with
colonial aims found Iranian community as a firm and assorted one
containing unity in theology and Islamic beliefs . After tens of
years intercousing , studying , and consulting they concluded that
making difference in religious beliefs of people and dividing this
surge river to small and unimportant streams are the ways to
penetrate in this community and to draw Iran to colonialism and
exploitation road . For this reason , they were determined to try to
weaken the theological foundations of Iranian people and to
disunite among them .
According to this realization and need , we observe that the
English government as the first dominant colonial power prepares
a detailed plan to penetrate in Islamic lands especially Iran and
assigns a huge budget in order to make difference and
disagreement in theological beliefs of Muslim and Shiite people of
Iran while the Indian King announced that Ghazi Heydar –alddin
the King of \'\'Soubehud\'\' and the King of \'\'Lekanhoo \'\' has devoted
all of his properties and assets to religious centers of Shiites of the
world to be spent for Shiite scholars \' educating of religious
sciences and earning a living.
At this time , Shiite started working specially in religious
affairs and endowments in British consult in Iranian cities
especially religious cities like Mashhad ,Qom and Shiraz and also
Iraqi cities and Bein-al-Nahrein such as Karbala , Najaf and
Samarah .
In these newly –established branches which were controlled
by the great British embassy in Tehran , some religious experts
who were members of English ministration of colonies –and were
dominant in Persian and Arabic languages were working .
The diplomats who were working in these branches had
apparently had the title and authority of \'\'Secretary \'\'. They had a
lot of information about religions and faiths and special agents and
spies had relationships with these \'\'religion secretaries\'\' in each city
. They heckled in religious and Islamic activities through the
special budget assigned by English government called \'\'Soubehud
endowed property \'\' Sir Arthur Harding , famous diplomat and the
then embassador of England in Iran , likened this budget to a
powerful lever and writes:
\'\'The authority of dividing the endowed money of Soubehud
in my hands is similar to a lever by which I could lift every thing
in Iran and Bein-al-Nahrein and solve each problem … .\'\'
English politicians and statesmen that sun never set in their
colonies had a deep hostility with Islam and Muslims and
considered them as barricades on their ways to predominate on
oriental nations and lands . The prime minister of England \'\'Lord
Gladestone \'\' made a speech in one of sessions of this country
parliament a said to representatives while he had lifted the Holy
Quran :
\'\'As long as Muslims have this book , England can do
nothing and we can\'t govern them .\'\'
For this reason English policy in Islamic countries and land
was based on disuniting among people, cult , and religions and
\'\'religion affairs branch\'\' were created in British embassies in
Islamic countries and cities and English statesmen were going to
campaign against Islam and to disunite among Muslims and
followers of different Islamic religions . They programmed for
disuniting among Shiite people more than others . The Englishmen
were thinking about weakening Islamic beliefs and the beliefs of
anti-dominance of aliens which were possessed by Shiite people of
Iran from the beginning of their arrival to Iran in Safavi era
because the found Shiite as a barricade to achieve their colonialist
aims . They consistently encouraged Ottoman Kings to fight
against Iran and to do bloody conflicts and battles against Shiite
Kings of Safavi in order to weaken the military and economic
power of Shiite people .
According to this idea , one of the main purposes of their
attempts made by colonial agents and secretaries of religion
branches in the ministration of colonies and properties of England
was finding encouragement , support and backing the claimants of
Mahdaviat –as one of principles of Shiite belief –to disunite among
Muslims.
This movement was important in Iran because Iran was located in
neighborhood of India which was one the greatest and the rich
colonies of England . It is worthy to note that several claimant of
Mahdaviat were found in Islamic lands during 50 years .
According to historical documents and evidences they all were
supported by England . Three out of those 50 claimants were
the Irainain , including : Mirza Seyyed Ali Mohammad Shirazi
(Bab) Mirza Hossein Ali Nur kajouri (Baha Allah ) Mirza Yahya
Sobhi Azal.\'\'Seyyed Ali Mohammad Shirazi \'\' created Bab\'ism
sedition in Iran and caused bloodshed and massacre . \'\'Mirza
Hossein Ali Nuri\'\' created the deviant cult of Baha\'ism and caused
irreparable hurts and damages for Iranian people and \'\'Mirza Yahya
Sobhi Azal\'\' created Azal\'ism cult , too.
The seditions of \'\'Bab\'ism \'\' , \'\'Baha\'ism\'\' and \'\'Azal\'ism\'\' are
originated form \'\'Sheik\'ism \'\' and Sheik Ahmad Ehsaee\'s thoughts .
According to the existing documents , before Seyyed Ali
Mohammad propose his claim , he was under surveillance by the
English agents . They were continuously sending reports of his
followers and his activities to London .According to a document
existing in English ministration of foreign affairs which was sent
from Tehran to London by an unknown English agent dated June,
21, 1850:
Excellecy Lord Palmerstone
According to teachings of Excellency Lord , I am proud to
explain about the new cut \'\'Bab\'\' . The enclosured matters were
given to me by one Bab\'s followers and I am certain that they are
true … In a sentence , it is one of the simplest religion whose
principles were summarized in Materialism , communism and
fecklessness in welfare and sedition of all human deeds
I am proud of the fact to be the most
obedient of your slaves
