Nuqtavi
The Nuqtavi ( Nuqṭawiyyah) movement was founded by Mahmūd Pasīkhānī when he proclaimed himself the Mahdi in 1397. The group is an offshoot of the Ḥurūfī movement, from which Pasīkhānī was expelled for arrogance. The group first arose in Anjudan near Kashan an area known for its Nizārī Ismā'īlī Shia Islam.
The group attempted to proclaim Shah Tahmasp as Mahdi after Pasīkhānī died.
