  Bábís
After his revelation then, Mirza Ali Muhammed soon assumed the higher title of Nuqta[?] ("Point"), and the title Báb, thus left vacant, was conferred on his ardent disciple, Mullá Husayn[?], but He was generally still referred to as "The Báb" by non-Bábiis and is thus still referred to that way today.
The Báb was succeeded on his death by Mirza Yahyâ of Nur (at that time only about twenty years of age), who escaped to Bagdad, and, under the title of Subh-i-Ezel (the Morning of Eternity),'became the pontiff of the sect.
Mirza Husayn 'Ali, entitled Bahá'u'llah ("the Glory of God")', who thus gradually became the most conspicuous and most influential member of the sect, though in the Iqan, one of the most important polemical works of the Bábis[?], composed in 1858-1859, he still implicitly recognized the supremacy of Subh-i-Ezel.

 The Stanford Review - September 22, 2006
When Mirzâ Ali Muhammad claimed himself to be a prophet, his choice of the word “Bab” for his title purposefully evoked the “Minor Occultation” of Imam Mahdi, which took place between 873 and 939 CE.
Whereas Mirzâ Ali Muhammad believed himself to be a kind of messianic figure within Shi’a Islamic conventions, he insisted that “the one whom God shall make manifest” would be the synthesis of the “Savior” promised in the scriptures of all the world’s great religions.
Husayn Ali of Nur, an early follower of the Bab, shortly thereafter took the name Bahá’u’lláh and announced that he was the fulfillment of the eschatological expectations of all prophetic cycles.

The founder of Babism was Mirza Ali Muhammad, a merchant of Shiraz, born about the year 1842 according to Count Gobineau and in the year 1819 according to the writings of the sect itself.
Now Ali Muhammad was not only a Shi'a but had also become a disciple of Syed Kasim of Rasht, who was in those days the leader of the Shaikhis, a sect of extreme Shi'ites founded by Shaikh Ahmad.
For more than ten years after the death of the Bab, Mirza Husain Ali was contented with an inferior position in the brotherhood, and as late as 1858-59 he implicitly recognised in a polemical work the spiritual authority of the Subh-i-Azal, Mirza Yahya.
