orig. Mrz Al Muammad of Shrz born Oct. 20, 1819, or Oct. 8, 1820, Shrz, Iran died July 9, 1850, Tabriz Iranian religious leader who founded the Bb religion and was one of the central figures of Bah. The son of a merchant, he was influenced by the Shaykh school of Shite Islam. In 1844 he wrote a commentary on the srah of Joseph in the Qurn and declared himself the Bb (Arabic: "Gateway") to the hidden imam. Later he would claim to be the imam himself, and finally a divine manifestation. The same year he assembled 18 disciples, who spread the new faith in the various Persian provinces. He had popular support but was opposed by members of the religious class, and he was arrested near Tehrn in 1847 and imprisoned. Meeting at Badasht in 1848, his followers, the Azal, formally broke with Islam. The Bb was executed by a firing squad at Tabriz in 1850
