Kazim Rashti
Résumé
Sayyid Kāẓim bin Qāsim al-Ḥusaynī ar-Rashtī (1793–1843) (سيد كاظم بن قاسم الحسيني الرشتي), mostly known as Siyyid Kázim Rashtí (سید کاظم رشتی), was the son of Siyyid Qasim of Rasht, a town in northern Iran. He was appointed as the successor of Shaykh Ahmad al-Ahsa'i, and led the Shaykhí movement until his death.
He came from a family of well known merchants. He was a Shaykhi scholar who told his students about the coming of the Mahdi and the "Masih" (the return of Christ) and taught them how to recognize them. After his death in 1843, many of his students spread out around Asia, Europe and Africa for the search.
Upon his death he was buried near the tomb of Imam Husayn in Karbala.
One of Siyyid Kazim’s most important works is a 16,000 verse commentary on an Arabic ode. The text itself has not much to do with the actual content of the poem. The commentary is well known for Kazim’s depiction of the many levels, regions and inhabitants of the spiritual universe depicted as a “multi-faceted celestial, cosmic city”. It also includes discussion surrounding “the curtain of the city of knowledge” and its symbolism, the inception of an era of spirituality and “inward realities” as opposed to the “outward observances” and laws of the past, allusions to the significance of the word Baha (Splendour/Glory), as well as interpretations of Noah’s Ark and the light verse.
On the death of Siyyid Kazim on 31 December 1843, some Shaykhis went on to become Babis, some of whom later became Baháʼís, and the rest split into three factions. Baháʼí sources claim that Ḥájí Mírzá Muḥammad-Karím Khán-i-Kirmání declared himself as the successor to Siyyid Káẓim.
It is also reported in the Baháʼí sources that before dying, instead of appointing a successor, he sent his disciples out to find the Promised One. One of his most noted followers, Mullá Husayn said:
"Our departed teacher insistently exhorted us to forsake our homes, to scatter far and wide, in quest of the promised Beloved...
