Teachings Of The Bab

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Siyyid `Ali Muhammad (born 20 October 1819 - died 9 July 1850) was the founder of Babism, and one of three central figures of the Baha\'i Faith. He was a merchant from Shiraz, Persia, who at the age of twenty-four (in 23 May 1844) claimed to be the promised Qa\'im (or Mahdi). After his declaration he took the title of Bab meaning "Gate". He composed hundreds of letters and books (often termed tablets) in which he stated his messianic claims and defined his teachings, which constituted a new shari\'ah or religious law. His movement eventually acquired tens of thousands of supporters, was virulently opposed by Iran\'s Shi\'a clergy, and was suppressed by the Iranian government leading to thousands of his followers, termed Babis, being persecuted and killed. In 1850 the Bab was shot by a firing squad in Tabriz.
