We know Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee with his special view toward religious rudiments. Having false view and exaggerating in various issues, he caused Babism and Baha’ism to be emerged. This man has been excommunicated by the scholars several times. He wasn’t able to prove his beliefs debating with the religion scholars. However, this false belief made deviant cults be created.
In Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee’s statements, the holy Imams (peace be upon them) have been considered as the agent reason for the creation world and the creation and men’s daily portions have been attributed to them. It is an exaggeration and incompatible with intellectual and narrative reasons of monotheism, but if he affairs with God’s will, it won’t be matter.
As the leader of Sheikism creed, Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee believed that the holy Imams (peace be upon them) have played a role in creating the creation. According to this belief, when the Almighty God created the holy Imams (peace be upon them) He allowed and diffused them to create other creatures[1]. So, Shiekh Ahmad Ehsaee considered the holy Imams (peace be upon them) as God’s gate towards creatures and the arms of creation. He believed that because God created the holy Imams (peace be upon them) before the creatures and created the creatures by their light rays, the holy Imams are the agent reasons of creation.
He has also assumed the holy Imams (peace be upon them) as the external and material reasons from whom all creatures have been created by their light rays.[2]
He has also believed: “God’s slaves are obeing the holy Imams (peace be upon them[3]).” He has justified: “because it is impossible for God to be called by His holy essence and nobody is able to call Him by prayer, worship and remembrance, so God is being called by favorable names who are Muhammad and his descendants[4].
Thus, these statements are kinds of exaggeration and blasphemy.
