This book examines the Islamic roots of the Babi religion, (and by extension the later Baha'i faith which developed out of it), through the Qur'anic commentaries of the Bab and sheds light on its relationship to the wider religious milieu and its profound debt to esoteric Islam, especially Shi'ismIranian studies (London, England)BabismSacred booksLanguage, styleMysticismIslamMessiahIslamRevelationBabismBabismSacred booksLanguage, style.MysticismIslam.MessiahIslam.RevelationBabism.297.9/2Lawson Todd.1546229FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910779045403321Gnostic apocalypse and Islam3801655UNINA
