Baháʼu'lláh also wrote that in this time and age, priests were no longer necessary for religious guidance. Humanity, he argued, had reached an age of maturity where it was incumbent upon every individual to search for God and truth independently. These principles did not only call into question the need for a priesthood, but also the entire Shí'i ecclesiastical structure and the vast system of endowments, benefices and fees that sustained it. No surprise then that in the following decades until the overthrow of the <a href="/wiki/Qajar_dynasty" title="Qajar dynasty">Qájár dynasty</a> in 1925, it was the mullas who instigated attacks against the Baháʼís in cities or villages where the clerical establishment was particularly influential.<sup id="cite_ref-affolter_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-affolter-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>In addition to this, the <a href="/wiki/B%C3%A1b%C3%ADs" class="mw-redirect" title="Bábís">Bábí religion</a>, the forerunner of the Baháʼí Faith, did not passively accept its persecution.

When the Bábís (in accordance with Koranic principles) organized to defend themselves, the government sent troops into a series of engagements that resulted in heavy losses on both sides. The Báb himself was imprisoned from 1846 until 1850 and eventually publicly executed.
