Definition Albabya

Albabya according to Mu'jam Lughat al-Fuqaha

A religion whose followers claim to be Muslims, attributed to Mirza Ali Mohammad, who called himself the Bab, meaning the gate to the twelfth Imam awaited by the Twelver Imami Shiites. He composed for his followers the book "Al-Bayan", which he claimed was better than the Quran. It is worth noting that this sect was established through a Crusader machination "adopted by Tsarist Russia at the time", as historians mention.
