Edward Brown, the English researcher and spy[1] states: “Mirza Ali Muhammad Bab and his rival Haji Karim Khan Kermani, who has been one of the heads of Sheikism, were both from the cult (that is Sheikism). Thus, the origin of Babism cult can be searched through Sheikism beliefs.[2]”
However, this claim was strengthened when the Babism claimant has confessed he has been the student of Sheikism school.[3]It is interesting to be noted that the forged prophet of Baha’ism has mentioned Sheikism leaders (Ahmad Ehsaee and Kazem Rashti) by the titles of the greatest luminary people and the herald of Ali Muhammad Shirazi’s emergence.[4]
The Sheikism creed leaders having beliefs contrary to Muslims (such as rejecting resurrection) have willingly or unwillingly[5] prepared the opportunity for preaching Babism innovation.
