abstract note	Born in 1844 during the Qajar Dynasty in Iran as a religious movement under the leadership of Mirza Ali Muhammad Shirazī (Bāb), Bābism was affiliated to the Shaykhī sect of the Twelve Imams, known as “Isnāashariyya al-Imamiyya”. In a short period of time, it acquired a unique method and understanding and started to propagate with the claim of an independent religion. The Qajar government executed Mirza Ali Muhammad in 1850 because he threatened the political and social order in Iran with his claim of prophethood, and took harsh measures to completely eradicate Babiism. In order to escape from this, the Babīs fled from Iran and took refuge in the Ottoman-controlled areas such as Najaf, Karbala and Baghdad, where the Shiites were densely populated. In 1853, prominent figures of the movement such as Mirza Hussein Ali and Mirza Yahya Nuri travelled to Baghdad under the auspices of the Russian Ambassador to Tehran and took refuge in the Ottoman Empire in order to avoid execution. Mirza Husayn Ali regrouped the disintegrating Bābīs in Baghdad, and after a while he began to preach Bahaism, claiming to be a new prophet. When these activities reached a level that would affect Ottoman-Iranian relations, the Porte exiled the leading figures of the movement to Istanbul in 1863, then to Edirne, and in 1868 to Acre. The Bahā’īs, led by Mirza Husayn Ali, became an international power by organising in Palestine and spreading to Europe and America in a short period of time. In this study, the activities of the Bahā’īs in Palestine between 1868 and 1922 (propaganda activities, residences, organisational activities, relations with Jews and missionaries), which they accepted as their religious centre, are discussed in the light of the sources of the period, especially the Ottoman State Archives.
