Baháʼí–Azali split

The Baháʼí–Azali split occurred when most Bábís accepted Baháʼu'lláh (Ḥusayn-ʻAlí) as the promised one of the Báb's writings, and thus became Baháʼís, leaving a remnant of Bábís who became known as Azalis, the followers of Subh-i-Azal (Mirza Yahya). The split occurred after Baháʼí founder Baháʼu'lláh made his public claim in 1863, leading to expressions of support from the majority of the Bábí community, and opposition from Subh-i-Azal, who became the leader of the remaining group.
