Bábism ( ) is a religious movement that flourished in Persia from
1844 to
1852, then lingered on in exile in the
Ottoman Empire (especially
Cyprus) as well as underground. Its founder was Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad of
Shiraz, who
took the title Báb – meaning "Gate" – from a well-known
Shi'a theological term. The implication was that Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad was an avenue through which continuing divine revelation could flow — a controversial and in fact dangerous position, as
his execution shows.
