Nearly the first and second half of the 19^th century, some changes and transformations occurred in the religious thought of Iran called “Sheikism School”. This transformation which was first formed in the religious and mystical thought ended in Babi movement that is a social one during the evolutional revolution. According to an extensive definition, this movement is located between a feudalist old community and its quick deviation and breakdown and it itself is one of the factors of this quick deviation and breakdown.
