Description

In the Name of the Godhead the Most Sublime, the Most Holy!


The following discussion group is dedicated to the Bayani gnostic faith (also known as Babism). Babism was founded in May 1844 in Shiraz, Iran, by a 24 year old merchant and descendent of the Prophet Muhammad, Siyyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi (d.1850), the Bab, known as the Primal Point (nuqta ula), the Essence of the Seven Letters (dhat huruf as-saba'), the Supreme Lord (rabb al-a'la), the Most Mighty Remembrance (dhikr al-a'zam), or His Holiness the Supreme (Hazrat-i-A'la). The People of the Bayan hold that the Essence of the Seven Letters was the Qa'im (ariser) of the House of Muhammad, the Twelfth Imam and Mahdi as well as the inaugurator of a new universal dispensational cycle. Eighteen individuals (the Letters of the Living) first came to believe in Him and thus one of the greatest gnostic revolutionary messianic religious movements of Iranian history was born (which in 1848 proclaimed its outright independence from - albeit supercessionist continuity with - Islam). Before suffering martyrdom in Tabriz in 1850, the Bab nominated and appointed a successor, Mirza Yahya Nuri Subh-i Azal (the Morning of Pre-Eternity) (d. 1912) whose relation to the Essence of the Seven Letters is as the relation of 'Ali to Muhammad in Shi'i Islam. This list upholds the vicarship and Mirrorhood (miratiyya) of Subh-i Azal. The Bayani faith is an ecstatic gnostic-esoteric universalist religion and the culmination of all high esoteric, qabbalistic, occult and gnostic metaphysical speculations in Islamicate. In the 19th-20th C. Babism came to be misrepresented by leaders of the Baha'ism who split Babism and usurped Azal's authority. As such this list is NOT Baha'i friendly.


O God, saltutations be upon the Bayan and whomsoever believes in it, and blessings be upon the First Unity, in every moment, before every moment and after every moment!
