How did a Christian ruler in Qajar dynasty paly a basic role in preaching the beliefs of the Baha’i cult?!
Bahaismiran:
Contrary to Bab’s imprisonment, one the most import factors which caused the beliefs of the deviant cult of Baha’ism to be preached was the planned movements by some Qajar dynasty statements especially Manouchehr Khan Mo’tamed-al-Dolleh, the Christian ruler of Isfahan city.
Since their establishments, the deviant cults of Babism and Baha’ism have been supported by the powerful and wealthy Jewish and Christian organizations. For this reason, the Jewish people were of the first supporters of Baha’is; to such an extent that the most Baha’is of Iran were the Jewish people.
The adventure of Bab’s support by the Armenian ruler of Isfahan city confirms the relationship between Baha’ism and the Christianity:
After traveling to Iraq and participating in Seyyed Kazem Rashti’s classes, Ali Muhammad Shirazi came back to Shiraz city and claimed for being Imam Zaman. After claiming, many differences were created among the Shiites. So, Nezamudduleh Hussein Khan Qajar, the ruler of Shiraz city, captured him in 1260 A.H. and imprisoned him for 6 months.
“Manouchehr Khan Gorji†who was Armenian was the ruler of Isfahan city. Although he pretended to be Muslim, he was Christian.
He was afraid of the power of the scholars of Isfahan. He outwitted to weaken their ranks. He authorized a group to kidnap Bab to take him to Isfahan city. It was happened in 1262 A.H. In this way, Bab was taken to Isfahan to be kept in Manouchehr Khan Armani’s house.
Manouchehr Khan tried to misuse the condition. So, held a gathering in order for Bab to meet the scholars of Isfahan to remove one of the main obstacles. If the scholars were defeated by Bab, people would observe that a young commoner could defeat the scholars.
The scholars became aware of Manouchehr Khan’s plan and “Hajj Mulla Muhammad Ja’far Mojtahed Abadehee†cautioned the scholars not to participate in the gathering. So the meeting was held informally. Just Aqa Mirza Mehdi Kalbasi and Mirza Hassan Nouri took part and defeated Bab.
Additionally, Manouchehr Khan Mo’tamed-al-Dulleh†donated his wealth, 40 million France to Bab to preach Babism.
Even when the scholars issued Bab’s execution verdict, Manouchehr Khan as the governer didn’t obey and ordered Bab to be imprisoned; but he made Bab free at night to bring him to his house secretly.
Moreover, the Baha’ism heads consider Manouchehr Khan as the savior of Bab and one of his believes. In a tablet, Abbas Effendi has recommended Baha’is to pilgrimage Manouchehr Khan’s brave and light candals.
