[Isfahani Jewish revolt against the Abbasids [130H]

The Isfahani jew named-Abu Issa Ishaq Ibn Yaqoub Al Isfahani began his call to himself as the [False] "Messiah" during the reign of the last Ummayads and Abbasid revolts. He claimed that Allah spoke to him and told him to
Save the Children of Israel from the corrupt nations and tyrannical rulers and bring them back to the Judea. He said he was the best of creation and the best of all Prophets. He forbade all sacrifices and anything that had a spirit in it [Proto Vegans basically].
He ordered his followers to establish ten prayers,but all his followers differed on the times of the prayers. The jews of Isfahan followed him and attributed Miracles and "Speech of Allah" to him. In 131H him and his followers began revolting and attacking the muslims
Going town to town killing muslims, looting and trying to gather support. He gathered ten thousand jews and stated "The return to Judea will only he done by killing". The Abbasid [Only a general at tht time]Al Mansur stopped and killed him when he entered Ray. He demolished the
Army and killed the rest of the followers. Some escaped. His remaining followers said he fled to a cave and will return to take them back to Judea. Some claimed it was an illusion and he really went to Prophet Musa AS beyond the river. His followers were called "Issawiya" and
They said Muhammed SAW and Isa AS were true prophets but were not sent for the children of Israel.
