Abstract	The idea of an awaited savior is present in most belief systems. This expectation, which is dominant within Islam, especially in the Shiite understanding, has led to the birth of many new religious movements. One of these is Babism. The emergence of Mirza Ali Muhammad in May 1844, with the claim that he was the door (Bab) opening to the savior whose arrival the Shiites were waiting for, was also the beginning of Babism. Bab, who managed to gather a large number of people around him in a short time, disturbed the Qajar rulers due to both his statements and the aggressive attitudes of his supporters, and as a result, he was arrested and executed. Before his execution, the Bab declared a young man named Mirza Yahya, one of his first subjects, as his deputy. The person who showed the first and greatest reaction to Mirza Yahya's deputyship was his brother Mirza Hüseyin Ali. Both groups accused the other party of fraud and claimed that they were the real proxy. This conflict between the two brothers spread to the Babis over time, and the Babi society was divided into three groups: On one side, the "Azalis", who saw Mirza Yahya (known as "Subhi Ezel") as right and sided with him, and on the other side, Mirza Hussein Ali, known as "Bahaullah". On the one hand, there were the "Bahais" who saw the people of Bab and sided with him, and on the other hand, there were the "Beyanis" who thought that both brothers were using the Bab for their own interests and were not loyal to anyone. The Azalis, who claim to be the most devoted among these three Babi groups, have a population of around five thousand at the most optimistic estimate today, and most of them live in Iran. The Azalis, who have their own principles of faith, worship and morality, take the basis of these principles from the book "Bayan", which they believe was revealed to the Bab. In addition, they accept the works written by Subhi Ezel, which they believe were dictated to him by God, as a kind of interpretation of the "Beyan" and regard them as sacred.
