Ali Muhammad Shirazi, a young man from Shiraz city, who claimed for being the gate for Imam of the Time (P.H.) on the lunar month of Sha'ban 28, 1264 during the succession to the throne of Naseruddin Shah Qajar due to Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee and Seyyed Kazem Rashti's mistakes intrigued by the Russian spy Kiniaz Dolgorukov was caught a week after his claim, confessed his mistake and repented.[1]

     This wasn’t the first time for him to claim for his superstitions. He got busy writing the book Bayan posing his claims at the end of that year and introduced himself in his meetings: I am the same [promised one whom you are waiting for 1000 years[2] and called his claim as Mahdism.[3]

     He had made himself come out of Islam by his claim and claimed for prophethood in the third stage finishing the book Bayan. In the forth stage, he claimed for divinity writing Heykeluddin tablet.[4]

    He wrote about his prophethood: in each period of time, the Almighty God has foreordained a book and a proof. In the year 1270 from the prophetic mission of the messenger of God, He had appointed the proof as Ali Muhammad Shirazi[5] and claimed for himself as the messenger of God and for his book as Forqan[6] .

     During those days when he was advancing the position of prophethood, he annunciated for coming a person called the one who God will manifest in his book and recommended everybody to obey his commandments at the time of his emergence. He writes: I swear by God, it is will be better for a person to hear him a verse than to recite the book Bayan one thousand times[7]."

     However, the strange note of this command is that he says: Accept his claim if he does even if he weren’t the one whom God will manifest, you would be obliged to accept[8]. He announces the time for his emergence and says: The one whom God will manifest will be emerged 1511 years later or 2001 years later.[9]

     He says: The one whom God will manifest's name will be Muhammad[10] and the place of his emergence will be Masjedul Haram.[11]

     Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri who had come out of mendacity and come back to Yahya Sobhi Azal was going to start a new plan. He posed his claims regarding the Bayan book and also the annunciations which he had given about the emergence of the one whom God will manifest in spring 1280.[12]

     Although he hadn’t possessed the conditions for announcing the one whom God will manifest, he called himself as the promised one of the book Bayan and introduced himself as the one whom God will manifest supported by the Russian government in Najib Pasha garden in Baqdad city. He wrote for Naseruddin Shah: O' king, I am living like one of ordinary slaves. I had slept in bed when the divine breeze blew and made me learn the existence knowledge… I haven’t learned the humane sciences. I haven’t gone to school. You can ask my fellow citizens.[13]

     In order to convince his prophethood to other people, Mirza Hussein Ali wanted to perk himself as illiterate like the holy prophet of Islam (P.H.) and claimed; we haven't gone to school and haven’t studied various discussions[14]; but the Baha'i proselytizers disagreed and said differently. Some people like Ahmad Yazdani said: He hadn’t studied at school at all.[15] Some haven’t been able to prove the claim and written evidently, he has learned reading and writing in the presence of his father and relatives.[16]

     The most important document which is available today and can counteract this claim is Ezziyeh Khanom's (Mirza Hussein Ali's sister) book called Tanbihunnaemin [Awakening the sleepers]. She writes for Abdul Baha: The Excellency Mirza was busy learning and didn’t miss any moment to learn when he was mature…[17].

     Although it has clearly been written in this letter that Hussein Ali had learned and studied, Abdul Baha says shamelessly in order to be Bahaullah's successor: It is obvious and certain for all Iranian people that he hadn’t learned at school and hadn’t also had social intercourses with scholars and learned men.[18]
