IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST BENEFICENT, THE MOST MERCIFUL
MOHAMMED REZA ISFAHANI, JULY 2006
FEEDBACK

This article is part of a series comparing the Mahdi of Islam with the Bab who claimed to be the Mahdi. The objective of this series is to establish that The Bab did not fulfill any of the Islamic prophecies regarding the Mahdi. The evidence against the Bab is overwhelming. In every part you will find more than 100 traditions available against the claim of the Bab.

Mohammed ibnil Hasan,
The Mahdi of Islam
Mirza Ali Mohammed Shirazi,
The Bab

Both Shiah and Sunni traditionalists have reported traditions to the effect in their books. There are more than 399 narrations for the same. For the benefit of my readers, a few of these books are given below:

His name was not that of the Holy Prophet (saw). The Prophet's name was Mohammed and not Ali Mohammed.

His kuniyat was not that of the Holy Prophet. In fact there is no record of his kuniyat at all.

He was not a Sayyed, but a Mirza. The title of Sayyed is given to a person whose father is from the lineage of the Holy Prophet (saw). Mirza is a title given to a person whose mother (and not father) is from the lineage of the Holy Prophet (saw). However there is a practice in Iran to call respected people as Sayyed which is why the Bab got the title of Sayyed. So in effect, the title of Sayyed applicable to the Bab stems from culture as against birth.

Mirza Ali Mohammed is not from the Ahle Bayt (family) of the Prophet. The Ahle Bayt is a specific term given to the family of the prophet. Even people who are from the lineage of the Prophet (Sayyed, as explained above) are not included in the Ahle Bayt.
