An analysis of Religious Ideas of Mirza Mohammad Akhbari from Viewpoint of Mirza Asadollah Shahrkhasti Mazandarani

Many of historians and biographers consider the views of Mirza Mohammad Neyshabouri Akhbari as an unsuccessful attempt of the extreme Akhbarism in the early of Qajar era. However¡ according to the survived manuscripts of Mirza Asadollah Shahrkhasti¡ an scolar of 19th century¡ Neyshabouri just was a Sufi and a hypocritical man who had no belief in Akhbarism and just used it as a tool to strip the Osolian faqihs from power. He tried to make most of his relation with Qajar magistrates in Iran and Baghdad’s mamluk pashas for this purpose¡ and Shahrkhasti also accused him to have concealed relationships with the West. One of the outcomes of this study for explaining Neyshabouri''s political-intellectual attitudes is revealing some evidence consistent with most of Shahrkhasti views about Neyshabouri. Based on such evidence¡ Mirza Mohammad Neyshaboury showed hostility towards the Shia clergies by promotion of eclectic Sufi-Akhbari attitudes as well as political activities. Finally he was killed in Kazemein by as a result of a Fatwa issued by Shia clergies in 1232 AH.
