Most primary Babis were from the hidden Jewish and newly-turned to Islam who have pretended to be Muslims nearly 5 years before Babism sedition and joined to Islam when Babism movement started. These people among whom there were English spies, play key roles in creating, expanding and stabilizing Babism and Baha’ism. They came back to their creed after years.
Maybe, Mullah Abdul Khaleq Yazdi, one of the greatest hidden Jewish who has played a key role in Sheiki thoughts and stabilizing and expanding Babism sedition[1] wasn’t the mere hidden Jewish who was newly-Muslim.
Consequently, the Jewish people of Mashhad city were nearly 2400 ones in 1839 A.D.[2] who became Muslims shortly after the establishment of Sason company in Boushehr and Bambay and five years before Babism sedition started in Iran, on March 26, 1839 A.D. without any pressures from Muslims. Confessed by the Jewish, this group changed their religion and hid their belief for 110 years later. A group from these newly–Muslim people joined Babism and then played a key role in expanding Baha’ism[3].
Among the Jewish people of Mashahd, a person called Ebrahim Natan took over the leadership of one of the spying networks of Britain. He immigrated to India during the years when Babism sedition started. Clarified by the Jewish encyclopedia, Ibrahim Nathan was the leader of the Jewish people from Bukhara, Afghanistan, and Iran resided in Bombay and played an important role in the first fighting between England and Afghanistan[4]. These resources declared that Ibrahim Nathan has been the British intelligent service agent and have confessed and revealed that he has played a key role in the Jewish association of Baqdad city, too.[5]
In Kashan, Hamadan and several other cities, the hidden Jewish or newly-Muslim people turned to Babism and Baha’ism. Fadhlullah Mohtadi Sobhi, the ex-proselytizer and special secretary of Abdul Baha writes in this regard: “Hakim descendants are Jewish originally… but each group have a creed… Dr. Arastou, Dr. Manouchehr and Dr. Gholam Hussein and his brother Lutfullah’s father became Baha’is.[6]”
A Zionistic Jewish person called Habib Levy is considering Hakim descendants from Hakim Soleiman’s generation (the immigrated Jewish person) who has immigrated to Iran since Fath Ali Shah kingdom. His ancestors called Hakim Hagh Nazar and Hakim Mousheh became the special physician of Naseruddin Shah and created the extensive influence net in Iran.[7]
Yes, the Almighty God has introduced the most enmity against Islam from the Jewish people:
” لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَداوَةً لِلَّذينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَ الَّذينَ أَشْرَکُوا” (مائده/ ۸۲)
“of all men you will find the Jews and those who associate with Allah in His divinity to be the most hostile to those who believe; and you will surely find that of all people they who say: “We are Christians”, are closest to feeling affection for those who believe. This is because there are worshipful priests and monks among them, and because they are not arrogant.”
