False Claimants – Genealogy of The Mahdi

Jun 12, 2024 | Imam Mehdi (a.s)

This article is part of a series on why the Bab – Mirza Ali Mohammed Shirazi is NOT the Mahdi of Islam. Both Shiah and Sunni traditionalists have reported traditions to the effect in their books that the Mahdi is from the progeny of Holy Prophet (sawa), the son of Hazrat Fatemah Zahra (sa) and his father is Imam Hasan Askari (as).

As regards the Bab, his name was not that of the Holy Prophet (saw). The Prophet’s name was Mohammed and not Ali Mohammed.

Neither his agnomen (kuniyat) was that of the Holy Prophet (sawa). In fact there is no record of his kuniyat at all.

He was not a Sayyed, but a Mirza. The title of Sayyed is given to a person whose father is from the lineage of the Holy Prophet (saw). Mirza is a title given to a person whose mother (and not father) is from the lineage of the Holy Prophet (saw). However there is a practice in Iran to call respected people as Sayyed which is why the Bab got the title of Sayyed. So in effect, the title of Sayyed applicable to the Bab stems from culture as against birth.

Mirza Ali Mohammed is not from the Ahle Bayt (family) of the Prophet. The Ahle Bayt is a specific term given to the family of the prophet. Even people who are from the lineage of the Prophet (Sayyed, as explained above) are not included in the Ahle Bayt.
