Hojjatieh

Anjoman-e Hojjatieh (in Persian انجمن حجتیه lit. "Society of Allah's Proof Over Creation") — also called The Hojjatieh Society — is a traditionalist Shi'a lay religious organization founded in Iran that stresses adherence to orthodoxy and opposition to perceived heresy through non-violent evangelism. It was founded in response to emerging heterodox and messianic movements such as the Bahá'í Faith, Ruhollah Khomeini's political messianism and his theories regarding theocratic leadership, and various strands of Sunni extremism such as Salafism and Wahhabi movement.
