After his death, his son Abdul Baha tried to preach Baha’ism and could attract the British government’s support. After him, Shoqi Effendi, Abdul Baha’s daughter’s son became the Baha’is guardian and continued his activities supported by Israel.

To answer In Details:

Baha’ism is a cult founded by Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri. He was the offspring of Mirza Abbas Nouri. He was born in Tehran city, 1233 A.H. He became the secretary of Imam Verdi Mirza system of Qajar dynasty[1].

After the emergence of Ali Muhammad Bab, his brother (Yahya Sobhi Azal) and several people from his family joined Bab. Bab was hanged ordered by Amir the great in Tabriz city. Yahya Sobhi Azal who was 13 years younger than his young brother was elected as Bab’s successor. After a while, Mirza Hussein Ali Nouri disobeyed his orders[2]. First, he claimed for being Imam of the Time and claimed for being the one whom Bab has promised him to be emerged.[3] With the passage of time, his claims were being increased From the claiming for “Hussein resurrection” and “Messiah resurrection” to claiming for “prophethood” and “divinity”.

Mirza Hussein Ali died in 1310 A.H. due to illness and buried in Akka. After him, his son Abdul Baha became his successor.

Abdul Baha was supported by England and received the highest medal “Sir” bestowed by England.

After Abdul Baha’s death, his grandson[4] Shoqi Effendi became the leader of the Baha’is. He visited the president of Israel after it was established[5] and expressed the Baha’is and Israelis are friends.

After Shoqi Effendi’s death in 1975, a 9-people group called the universal house of justice located at Heyfa, the occupied Palestine became in charge of Baha’is.[6]

The theological origin of Baha’ism

Babism was forerunner of Baha’ism; but it should be said that Babism was originated by Kashfieh and Kashfieh was originated by Sheikism. The founder of Sheikism was Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee who was excommunicated by the scholars due to his ideas and beliefs.[7] He went to Hijaz where was dominated by the Ottoman government. He was respected and supported by the rulers of that land.

In 1241 A.H. when he was 80, he died and Seyyed Kazem Rashti, his pupil preached his thoughts and established Kashfieh cult.

Seyyed Kazem Rahsti was born in 1212 A.H. and died in 1259 A.H. He was considered as the forth pillar for 20 years by his followers and believed that the Excellency Mahdi (May Allah hasten his reappearance) is living among us.

One of his pupils called Ali Muhammad Bab claimed to be the gate for Imam of the Time.[8]

Such creed isn’t from Muslims nor Shiites. The Shiites disagree and oppose then due to these intellectual and theological deviations.
