Khurramiyyah was the name of a an Iranian religious sect that was led in the ninth century by the Persian Babak.
The sect was founded by the cleric, Sunpadh and was a revitalization of an earlier sect that had mixed Shi'ism and Zoroastrism.
The sect grew out of a response to the execution of Abu Muslim by the Abbasids, and denied that he had died, rather claiming that he would return as the messiah.
