In 1231 S.H., Muhammad Ali Barforoush who was known as Qoddous, the offspring of Muhammad Saleh (or Mahdi), was born in Babol city[1]. After passing the rudimentary educations, he went to Karbala city to complete his educations. He learned for 4 years in Sheikism school mastered by Kazem Rashti. Barforoushi returned Iran after Seyyed Kazem Rashti’s death. Visiting Mulla Hussein Boshrouyee and Mulla Ali Bastani he was included as the last disciple of Ali Muhammad Shirazi (Hourof Hayy) [Hayy letters][2]. The most important note is that there is difference regarding his position between Babis and Baha’is.

1)   In one side, Muhammad Ali Barforoushi was proselytizing Babism as Hay letter and the follower of Babi creed. So, he search the Iranian cities very much[3]. So, Nabil Zarandi has considered his position lower than Bab’s: “Except for Bab’s position, other people’s position are lower that Qodous’s one[4].”

2)   On the other side, “Mirza Jani Hashani” as the famous writer of Baha’ism has stated some materials which indicate that Barforoushi was higher in position than Ali Muhammad Shirazi: “And the Excellency Qoddous claimed and when the Excellency Bab claimed, the Excellency Qoddous got silent. The Excellency Qoddous was the heaven determination. The Excellency Bab was the earth determination[5].” Or it is said that: “And in this period of time the main point was the Excellency Qoddous and the Excellency Bab was his gate.[6]” the Excellency Qoddous has answered to his father’s advice: “Know, I am not your son… I am the Jesus Christ. I have appeared in the form of your son. I have elected you as my father based on convenience.[7]”

     Yes, the false claimant and the heads of two deviant movements of Babism and Baha’ism have possessed false and baseless claims that they themselves have even been baffled to determine their positions.
