In this regard, we should refer to Abdul Hussein Ayati’s writings. Abdul Hussein Ayati Tafti was one of the Baha’i proselytizers who was entitled “Awareh” [the wander man] because of his continuous proselytizing and nonstop travellings. When the second leader of the deviant cult of Baha’ism was alive –Abdul Baha- Awareh wrote a book about the history of Babism and Baha’ism supervised by Abdul Baha which was favored by Abdul Baha.
After being Baha’i for 20 years, Awareh turned against the Baha’ism cult and changed his name to Ayati to be a sign for other ignorant Baha’is. He has written a book to reject this man made cult called Kashful Hiyal and has discovered and revealed the organization. This book has been written in 3 volumes to be paid attention by several people of the cult and to be caused people to be awakened and roused.
In the book “Kawakeb-al-Dorriyeh Fi Ma’ther-al-Bahaiyeh”, Vol. 1, p. 343, line 22, Abdul Hussein Ayati writes about Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri and his education: “The Excellency (Hussein Ali) wrote to answer him. After several days, Sheik Abdul Rahman received it and got fond of the handwriting and title that he expressed in the presence of the students that all first and last learned people aren’t be able to be higher than Dervish Muhammad Irani’s science.”
It is remarkable to be noted that after the followers of Ali Muhammad Bab were exiled to Baqdad, MIrza Hussein Ali Nouri Mazandarani was the follower of his brother Mirza Yahya Sobhi Azal as Bab’s successor. When Mirza Hussein Ali disagreed his brother and planned against him, Mirza Hussein Ali escaped from Baqdad and settled in Soleymanieh mountians. He called himself Dervish Muhammad Irani there.
As you know, Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri’s father –Mirza Bozorg Nouri- was working in Fath Ali Shah Qajar court as a clerk. According to history, he possessed nice handwriting inherited by his father. According to Abdul Hussein Awareh and other Baha’is, Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri Mazandarani could write and read.
