History
The charitable society "Hidayat" was founded in 1904 in Baku. The founders of the society were representatives of the clergy and intelligentsia. Their main goal was to fight the robbers who disturbed the residents of Baku and the murderers, as well as the suppression of religious fanaticism. Members of the society identified people who harmed society and insulted women on the streets, and their names were presented to the governor-general for punitive measures to be taken against them. The charitable society "Hidayat" consisted of ten members, among them were Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, Isa-bey Hajinsky, Mirmuhammed Kerim Bakuvi, Molla Ruhulla Mammadzade, Ahmed-bey Aghaoglu, Mustafa bey Alibeyov and others. The charter of the society was written by Ahmed-bey Aghaoglu.[1]
With the assistance of the society, on 17 November 1906, measures were taken against several robbers and hooligans. One of them was Meshadi Haji oglu, who lived in Novkhani. Years later, on 16 January 1912, he took revenge on a member of the society, Molla Ruhulla Mammadzade, by killing him in his own house.[2] The secretary of the society, Mustafa Bey Alibeyov, participated in the trial on the murder case, which took place in 1913.[3][4]
The Hidayat society opposed religious fanaticism, the “shahsey-vakhsey” rite, which imitates the suffering and death of Imam Hussein and is accompanied by self-flagellation, and other similar rituals. The society appealed to people with a call to abandon these rituals, since they only bring harm to them. And the secretary of the society, Mustafa Bey Alibeyov, wrote an article about this in the Irshad newspaper. This treatment angered the city's religious fanatics. Some even demanded the beheading of Mirmuhammed Kerim Bakuvi and Mustafa-bek Alibeyov, members of the society. Later, they set a fire to the door of Mirmuhammed Kerim's house. Mustafa Bey Alibeyov did not leave his house for some time so as not to be persecuted.[5]
The secretary of the society, Mustafa Bey Alibeyov,[6] took the initiative to create an oil company "Hidayati-Islamiya" under the society in order to get rid of the Baku oil from the monopoly of foreign capital and use it for the benefit of the people. To this end, he developed the charter of the company, consisting of 27 points.[7]
