Bahaismiran:

 As the leader of Babism, Ali Muhammad Bab Shirazi claimed for Mahdism, prophethood and the abolishment of Islam for himself. In this regard, he considered Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee as his forerunner.

     As continually stated, Ali Muhammad Shirazi was the offspring of Seyyed Muhammad Reza Bazzaz claimed for the gate for Imam of the time (P.H.) [gate], being Imam of the time, prophethood and divinity during the years 1260 to 1266. However, his most important claims emphasized by the Baha’is are Mahdism and prophethood.[1] Because after a while after his claim for Mahdism, he posed prophethood and the abolishment of Islam.

     In this regard, Ali Muhammad Shirazi considered Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee’s annunciation for his emergence as one of the reasons for his legitimacy. As he said: “I mention those who have testified my right. The first of them was Ahmad Ehsaee who said hello to me via a famous merchant from Isfahan called Jorfadeqani (Golpaygani) when he was on the way of Hajj.[2]

     However, it should be noted that although Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee provided the opportunities for Ali Muhammad Shirazi’s claims by establishing the forth pillar belief[3];undoubtedly, Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee believed strongly on the finality of the prophethood of the holy prophet of Islam offspring definite reasons like other Islamic scholars; as  he declares: “Muhammad (peace be upon him and his descendants is the final prophet and no prophet will come after him.[4]
