Introduction to the book “The History of Jaafari” written by Sheikh Mohammad Mahdi Sharif Kashani; Part One: Hidden Babi Identity Documents

“The History of Jaafari” written by Sheikh Mohammad Mahdi Sharif Kashani was published by Negah Moaser Publishing in 2019, with the help of Seyyed Miqdad Nabavi Razavi, with the aim of firmly and firmly removing the veil from the face of the secret life of the followers of Sayyid Ali Muhammad Bab, such as Mulla Mohammad Jafar Naraqi and Sheikh Mohammad Mahdi Sharif Kashani, etc., by citing another Babi documentary, and providing a precise and accurate analysis of the events of the era and their efforts. One of the important and clear sources that introduce the personalities of the Babi secret life during the Qajar dynasty is this book, which narrates in detail the life of Mulla Mohammad Jafar Naraqi, the father of Sharif Kashani and one of the chosen ones of the Babi – Azali secret life. Interestingly, in writing this work, Sharif Kashani did not observe the Babi hieroglyphs and openly removed the Muslim mask from his Babi face, his father, and other co-religionis ts. This open s tatement is undoubtedly due to the knowledge and information of the descendants of the Bayanists about the hidden secrets of the Babi followers, and for this reason it had not been exposed to public attention before, and Sayyid Miqdad Nabavi spent nearly three years searching for the original version of this book, because in historical sources there was only a name for this work by Sharif Kashani and no other work.
