> BABISM AND THE BABITES *
> BY REV . HENRY HARRIS JESSUP, D.D. , BEIRUT, SYRIA
> 
> Ever since the first Babite reform movement in Persia in 1845, the
> Christian world has hoped that some of its liberal tenets might lead the
> Persian people to Christianity. But thus far the hope has not been real
> ized. Those who read the Bible seem to prefer to find an occult inner
> double meaning in the simplest language, and construct for themselves a
> kind of mystic religious philosophy in which the Persians delight.
> According to the best authorities, Babism arose as follows :
> Mirza Ali Mohammed appeared in Shiraz in 1845, a pupil of Sheik
> Ahmed Zein ed Din, who taught a mixture of Sufism , mystic philosophy,
> and Moslem Shîite law, and said that the absent Mahdi , now in a spirit
> ual world called Jabalka and Jabersa , would soon appear, and that he
> was the Bab or Door of the Mahdi . He then made up a system composed
> of Moslem , Nasairiyeh, Jewish, and heathen doctrines, and then claimed
> to be Bab ed Din, and afterward the Nukta or Center and Creator of
> truth , and then that he was Deity personified ; then that he was the
> propet Mohammed, and produced a new book called the Beyān , which is
> the Babite Bible, in twenty thousand verses, Arabic and Persian . Com
> plaint was made of its bad grammar, and that this is a sign of imperfec
> tion. He explained the ungrammatical Arabic by the fact that the
> words and letters rebelled and sinned in a previous world, then trans
> migrated to this world, and, as a punishment for sin in a previous exist
> ence, were put under grammatical rules ; but he in mercy forgave all
> sinner's, even to the letters of the alphabet, and released them , and now
> they can go as they please !
> Mirza was followed by tens of thousands, among others by a beau
> tiful and eloquent woman named Selma, who divorced her husband and
> followed Ali Mohammed the Bab, who styled her Kurret el Ain (light or
> refreshment to the eye) .      Ali Mohammed raised an army to fight the Per
> sian troops, but was caught and strangled in 1849, and multitudes of his
> followers were killed .
> Before Ali Mohammed's death he said his successor would be a young
> disciple named Yahya. This Mirzah Yahya succeeded him , taking the
> title of “ Subh Azel       (morning of eternity ).   The Bab made the month
> nineteen days, answering to the nineteen members of the sacred hier
> archy, of which the Bab is the chief.
> Subh Azel was the fourth in the hierarchy, and on the death of the
> Bab, Ali Mohammed, and the two others above him on the list, he became
> chief of the sect by regular promotion . Upon the outbreak of persecu
> tion against them , Subh Azel and his older brother Mirza Hasseian Ali,
> who was styled Beha Allah, fled to Bagdad, and remained from 1853 to
> 1864, then to Adrianople. Beba had persuaded Subh Azel to retire and
> conceal himself from human gaze, saying to the people that he was pres
> ent but invisible. Beha then claimed the succession, and two hostile
> parties arose, Azelites and Behaites. They were both then exiled ( 1864)
> to Adrianople, where plots and poisoning among the two parties, and
> anonymous letters sent to the sultan charging each other with political
> conspiracies, led the sultan to exile (in 1866) Subh Azel to Famagusta, in

> The Sources of Babism
> 
> To understand Babism, we should remember the sources from which
> it was derived. Jemal ed Din, the Afghani, says that its author borrowed
> from Hinduism, Pantheism, Sufism , and the doctrines of the Nasairiyeh.
> The Nasairiyeh of northern Syria believe in one God, self -existent and
> eternal. This God manifested himself seven times in human form, from
> Abel to Ali , son of Abi Talib, which last manifestation was the most
> perfect. At each of these manifestations the Deity made use of two
> persons, the first created out of the light of his essence and by himself,
> and the second created by the first. The Deity is called the Maana (the
> meaning or reality of all things) ; the second, the Ism (name or veil,
> because by it the Maana conceals its glory, while by it, it reveals itself to
> men). The third, the Bab ( Door, because through it is the entrance to
> the knowledge of the two former). The following table shows the seven
> trinities of the Nasairiyeh :
> MAANA                 ISM                  BAB
> 1. Abel                     Adam               Gabriel
> 2. Seth                    Noah                Yayeel
> 3. Joseph                  Jacob               Ham ibn Cush
> 4. Joshua                  Moses               Daw
> 5. Asaph                   Solomon             Abdullah ibn Simaan
> 6. Simon (Cephas)          Jesus               Rozabah
> 7. Ali                      Mohammed           Salman el Farisee
> 
> After Ali , the Deity manifested itself in the Imams, in some of them
> totally and in others partially, but Ali is the eternal Maana, the divine
> essence, and the three are an inseparable trinity,
> Now add to this the mystic teaching of the Mohammedan system of
> Sufism or Tusowwof. Pure Sufism teaches that only God exists. He is
> in all things and all things are in him . All visible and invisible things
> are an emanation from him , and are not really distinct from him .
> Religions are matters of indifference. There is no difference between
> good and evil , for all is reduced to Unity, and God is the real author of
> the acts of men .        Man is not free in his action .    By death the soul
> returns to the bosom of Divinity, and the great object of life is absorp
> tion into the divine nature.
> Bear in mind also the doctrine of the Persian or Shiah Moslems, that
> Ali was the first legitimate Imam, or Calif of Mohammed, and that he
> existed before Adam , and that the twelfth Imam , Mohammed Abdal
> Kasim , was the Mahdi, and that he is now concealed in some secret place
> and will appear again on earth. Add to this the highly imaginative and

> about seventy or eighty of his Persian followers, who are called Behaites.
> Nothing is heard of Subh Azel or his followers.
> Babism in America
> Some years since, Dr. Ibrahim Kheirulla, an educated Syrian of
> great mental acumen , conceived the idea of introducing Beha-Babism
> into the United States. He declared Beha to be the Messiah returned to
> earth and Abbas to be his reincarnation.       He visited Abbas, and from
> time to time, as his accredited agent and promoter, has brought his dis
> ciples, chiefly American women, to visit Abbas, and some of them at
> least have bowed down and worshiped him as the Messiah .
> A cousin of Dr. Kheirulla, who is clerk of the American Press in
> Beirut, has given me the following statement :
> The doctor, after the death of his first wife in Egypt in 1882, married
> first a Coptic widow in El Fayûm , whom he abandoned , and then married
> a Greek girl, whom he also abandoned, and who was still living in 1897
> in Cairo. He was at the World's Parliament in Chicago, and tried to
> promote several mechanical inventions - as, a rubber boot, envelopes, but
> tons, etc. At one time he was worth three thousand pounds. He then
> obtained the degree of Doctor, and taught mental philosophy. He then
> helped a Greek priest, Jebara, in publishing a book on the unity of Islam
> and Christianity, which fell flat and had no influence on the public mind.
> He then opened a medical clinic to cure nervous diseases by the laying
> on of hands and reading from Psalm xxix : 7 the words, “ The voice of
> the Lord divideth the flames of fire,” etc. Then he went to Chicago and
> tried trade, and then teaching and preaching, and pretty much every
> thing else. He is a smart talker, full of plausible argument, and can
> make white appear black. Of late he has had little to do with religion .
> It can be said to his credit that, after receiving aid in the Beirut College,
> he paid back the money advanced to him .
> The Egyptian Gazette of November, 1900, states that Dr. Kheirulla
> on his last visit to Haifa differed with Abbas Effendi, claiming that Beha
> Allah only was the true divinity, and Abbas is simply a teacher. Dr. and
> Mrs. Goetzinger, on the other hand, maintain that Abbas must be wor
> shiped with divine homage, as he is the true Christ. In Bagdad, in
> 1860, the Babite house was divided into Behaites and Azelites.      In Haifa
> it is divided between Abbas Effendi and his two brothers, Mohammed
> and Bedea. In America it is between Dr. Kheirulla and Dr. Goetzinger.
> On a recent visit to Haifa I called on Abbas Effendi and had a half
> hour's conversation with him . My companion was Chaplain Wells, of
> Tennessee, recently from the Philippines. The Effendi has two houses
> in Haifa, one for his family, in which American lady pilgrims are enter
> tained, and one down - town, where he receives only men . Here his Per
> sian followers meet him. They bow in worship when they meet him on
> the street or when they hear his voice. On Friday he prays with the
> Moslems in the mosque, as he is still reputed a good Mohammedan of the
> Shiite sect.
> We entered a large reception -room , at one end of which was a long
> divan covered, as usual in Syria , with a white cloth . In a moment he
> came in and saluted us cordially with the usual Arabic compliments, and
> 774             THE MISSIONARY REVIEW OF THE WORLD               [October
> then sat down on the end of the divan next to the wall and invited us to
> sit next to him .         He has a reputation of being a great scholar in
> Persian, Turkish, and Arabic, writing with equal ease and eloquence in
> all. After another round of salutations, I introduced myself and Chaplain
> Wells, and told him that altho a resident of Syria for forty -five years, I
> had never visited Haifa before, and, having heard and read much of his
> father and himself, I was glad to meet him. He asked my profession.       I
> told him I was an American missionary, and was connected with the
> American Press and Publishing House in Beirut.
> “ Yes,” said he, “ I know your Press and your books. I have been in
> Beirut, and knew Dr. van Dyck, who was a most genial, learned, and
> eloquent man, and I highly esteemed him .”
> I said his greatest work was the translation of the Bible into Arabic,
> and added that it was a great comfort that the Bible was so well trans
> lated and had been so widely distributed, and that since 1865 , when Dr.
> van Dyck completed the translation of the whole Bible, our Press had
> issued more than six hundred thousand copies, and this year would issue
> from thirty thousand to fifty thousand copies.
> I then remarked that the Mohammedans object to our use of the term
> “ Son of God," and asked him if he regarded Christ as the Son of God .
> He said : “ Yes, I do ; I believe in the Trinity. But the Trinity is a
> doctrine above human comprehension, and yet it can be understood , for
> Christ understood it.”
> I replied, “ There are many things in nature which we believe and
> yet can not understand.” I told him the story of the old man who over
> heard a young man exclaim to a crowd of his companions, “ I will never
> believe what I can not understand . ” The old man said to him, “ Do you
> see those animals in the field - the cattle eating grass, and it turns into
> hair on their backs ; sheep eating the same grass, and it turns into wool ;
> and swine eating it , and it becomes bristles on their backs ; do you
> believe this ? ” The youth said, “ Yes. ” “ Do you understand it ? ”
> “ No.” “ Then ,” said the old man, “ never say you will not believe what
> you do not understand.”
> The Effendi remarked : “ Yes, that is like a similar remark made
> once by a Persian to the famous Zamakhshari, ' I can not understand
> this doctrine of God's unity and eternity, and I will not believe it. '
> Zamakhshari replied, “ Do you understand the watery secretions of your
> own body ? '    ' No. '    But you believe they exist ? Then say no more
> you will not believe what you do not understand .' ”
> I explained to the Effendi our view of salvation by faith in Christ ;
> that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting
> life, and that, being justified by faith, we have peace with God ; that
> Christ has paid the ransom , and now God can be just, and yet the justi
> fier of them who believe.    “ And does your excellency believe this ? " He
> replied promptly , “ Yes.”      “ And do you accept the Christ as your
> Savior ? ”   He said , “ Yes.” “ And do you believe that Jesus the Christ
> will come again and judge the world ?” He said, “ Yes. ”
> I took up another question, and said : “ The Christ promised to send
> the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Now, the Mohammedans claim that
> Mohammed is the Paraclete. We claim and believe that He is the Holy
> Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.”
> “ Yes,” said he, “ I know that you believe that. That is your doc
> trine; but that is a very profound subject and very important. "

> I saw from his manner that he was getting weary of talking, and so
> we soon took our leave.
> What can one say in brief of such a man ? Whether intentionally
> on his part or not, he is now acting what seems to be a double part - a
> Moslem in the mosque, and a Christ, or at least a Christian mystic, at
> his own house. He prays with the Moslems, “ There is no God but God , "
> and expounds the Gospels as an incarnation of the Son of God. His
> declarations of belief in the Trinity and redemption through the Christ
> must be interpreted in the light of Sufist pantheism and of his belief in
> a succession of incarnations, of which his followers regard him as the
> last and greatest .
> It is difficult to regard without indignation the Babite proselytism
> now being carried on in the United States. One American woman who
> passed through Beirut recently, en route for the Abbas Effendi shrine,
> stated that she was at first an agnostic and found that a failure; then
> she tried theosophy, and found that too thin ; then she tried Christian
> Science and obtained a diploma authorizing her to heal the sick and raise

> You are doubtless well aware of the spread of Babism, whose fol

> Hundreds have been converted to Abbas Effendi, who is claimed to be the
> Messiah in the flesh now in Persia, and whose strongholds in this country
> are at Washington and Baltimore. Hearing that “ Merza Abdul Fazel,”
> the Persian Prophet, as he is called by his followers, was in Washington,
> we went to see him , and had a personal interview with him .
> In the fashionable quarter of the capital we rang the bell. A lady

> She reached into a little case in the corner of the hallway, unlocked the
> door, and ushered us into the presence of the ambassador of the Persian
> Messiah, to whom she introduced us . We found him sipping his tea, his
> pipe at hand. He arose and invitingly extended his hand in greeting,
> bidding us to take a seat. His interpreter bowed, explaining that he was
> at our service.
> Clad in Oriental costume, turban on his head, the prophet began
> immediately to speak of his mission, declaring with enthusiasm , “ This is

> Now I come to bring the glad tidings, and all who will accept and believe
> in the Messiah, who is now in the flesh in Persia, their names shall be
> placed on record, even in the Lord's Book of Life . The prophecies of
> the old prophets are, indeed, fulfilled ; he is gathering his people.”

> We asked him , “ Do you mean that Jesus is the Lord and He is now
> in Persia for the second time in the flesh ? "
> “ Oh yes, " the prophet replied, “ for he is here now to gather unto
> himself those who shall reign with him in glory. "
> We replied : “ Do not the Scriptures say that when Jesus shall

> and His saints shall be with Him , all eyes shall behold Him , and every
> tongue confess Him ? "
> Yes, ” replied the prophet, “ and so you may see him in Persia . "
> “ But how would we know him if we saw him ? "
> Then he read in Deuteronomy xviii : 18, where it tells how the Messiah
> might be known.

> Ab, yes,” the prophet replied, “ but you do not expect all this will
> happen in one day or year. A thousand years is as a day with the Lord.
> See how long it took Israel to go from Egypt into the promised land,
> when they might have gone in twelve days. Even so now. They must

> We replied, “ The Scriptures declare that Israel shall go to Jerusalem
> in an unconverted state, and thus shall be converted by beholding Him
> for whom they waited ."
> • That is true , ” the prophet replied, “ but those who accept him now
> are the elect, whose reward and glory will be so much greater. All
> Israel shall become his people, and the nations shall be allied to them
> and become their servants.       But the Jews who accept and believe in
> the Messiah who is now in Persia, their glory will supersede all the
> rest. "
> He further said that he ( Merza Abdul Fazel ) had been a fanatic
> Mohammedan, an enemy to both Jew and Christian, but since he saw
> the Messiah in Persia and became converted, and received a revelation ,
> he began to preach and teach this great revelation of this great Messiah
> in the flesh . He loves all , and has been influential, he claims, in convert
> ing many here in America and the Eastern lands. He claims that about
> thirty thousand Jews in Persia, Assyria, Australia , and Russia have
> become his followers. He declares that he has seen him of whom Moses
> and the prophets wrote, and had the revelation that this is indeed the Mes
> siah who shall come and unify all sects and issues, for there shall be but
> one religion. All shall be combined in Jesus and Mohammed - one the
> prophet of the West, and the other the East.
> We were not very long conversing with the prophet, when intelligent
> looking ladies, singly and in pairs, began to come in , and fairly drank in
> his words as he was speaking to us . No one was at the door to answer
> the bell or knock ; but his visitors know how to come in, having a key or
> knowing where to find it. The prophet claims a following of about ten
> thousand in the United States, and declares that in Persia , Arabia , and
> Russia he has a following of about thirty thousand Jews.
> The days when all ought to be careful are at hand. False prophets
> are about us, saying, “ Here is Christ.” Be not deceived , nor go after
> them , said Jesus. Search the Scriptures, let no man deceive you . Read
> carefully the thirteenth chapter of Mark, and see how the Word of God
> is fulfilled . Mark xiii : 21 , 22— “ And if any man shall say to you , Lo, here
> is Christ, or, Lo, He is there, believe him not ; for false Christs and false
> prophets shall rise and all show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were
> possible, even the elect.”
