| Bab"ism |
|
The doctrine of a modern religious
pantheistical sect in Persia, which was founded, about 1844, by Mirza
Ali Mohammed ibn Rabhik (1820 -- 1850), who assumed the title of Bab-
ed-Din (Per., Gate of the Faith). Babism is a mixture of Mohammedan,
Christian, Jewish, and Parsi elements. This doctrine forbids
concubinage and polygamy, and frees women from many of the
degradations imposed upon them among the orthodox Mohammedans.
Mendicancy, the use of intoxicating liquors and drugs, and slave
dealing, are forbidden; asceticism is discountenanced.
