IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST BENEFICENT, THE MOST MERCIFUL
IMRAN SHAYKH, MARCH 2005
FEEDBACK

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.

This article has been compiled by a Bahai, Sepehr Manuchehri. The reason I have chosen to carry it on my website is because I find it well-written, well-researched and more importantly, very relevant in the context of my site and its objectives.
