abstract noteIslam has been known to be divided into numerous sects, such that they go into the realm of the imagined. In our study of how the effects of supernaturalism linger in minds both orginary and excellent, "we came across a sect that walked on the thick line of contradictions and had to be hammered down with the method of deconstruction." The aim of the paper is to align canonical Islamic texts and thoughts with that of the Babi sect, and with deconstructive methods find out why this sect had such a short run and its imaginary claims made their way into Iranian tribunals. The deconstructive method inspired by Jacques Derrida shall allow us to do a close reading and analysis of this faith without ourselves exhibiting biases. By the end of the paper, we will have established the effect that the unseen may have on our minds, that divinity will always be sought even in mortality, and that sectarianism may hold on its values of finding the real interpretive truth. Yet all divisions are not enlightened ideas, but claims of heretics and the influenced. [The above was slightly revised to make clearer the authors' intent; but in the end, they exhibit their biases blatantly]
