A follower of S̲h̲ayk̲h̲ Aḥmad-i-Aḥsá'í and his successor Siyyid Kázim-i-Ras̲h̲tí, who taught that the resurrection, Muḥammad's Night Journey to heaven, and signs of the coming Qá'im, were allegorical events with a spiritual meaning rather than physical occurrences, and that the time of the coming of the Qá'im was near.
School founded by S̲h̲ayk̲h̲ Aḥmad-i-Aḥsá'í. Among his doctrines, in addition
to the imminent dual Advent, were that the Prophet
Muḥammad's material body did not ascend on the night of the Mi'ráj;
that the Imáms were
creative forces (a belief based on Qur'án 23:14: "God, the Best of Creators"); that 'Alí should be particularly venerated.
