Conclusions
The Founders of Shaykhi school used Taqaiyyah to promulgate their anticipation for the coming of the 'Perfect Shi'a'. Shaykhi literature contains numerous references to 'secrets' of resurrection and the inability of the common people to understand them.
The Báb even ordered many of his followers to practice Taqaiyyah in order to spread the cause and carry out importance services for the faith.
After the martyrdom of the Báb, the practice of Taqaiyyah became popular amongst the Babis. There were many instances of learned Babis concealing their faith and evidence of mass Taqaiyyah in a number of cities.
There are a number of treatises and compilations written by Babis who practiced Taqaiyyah.
Taqaiyyah was in many instances used to conceal one's faith from the threats posed by the immediate family members.
