Biography

Early life

Flight from the Yazidi Kingdom of something something Tabadashahr

After the Shias of Maqtajer split over a dispute on a number of religious doctrines, most importantly regarding the esotericism of religious texts and the need for a religious institution in the absence of the Infallible Imam, Mulla Jafar led his followers who formed a minority of the Shias of Maqtajer at the time to take refuge in the neighbouring Duchy of Srambi (present-day Province of Northwestern Malaya in Hindia Belanda).

Establishment of the Auxiliary Imamate

In the absence of the Infallible Imam, Mulla Jafar argued that a need arises for a religious institution tasked to preserving the sacred teachings and gnosis of the Fourteen Infallibles. To this end, he established the Auxiliary Imamate, which would serve as the nexus of Esoteric Shia religious life and the protector of the welfare of the Esoteric Shia faithful.
