The Bahá'í Faith
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions.
Its founder, Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most
recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond
recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna,
Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one
single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global
society. Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical forces that are
are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class, creed, and nation
and that will, in time, give birth to a universal civilization. The
principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the
fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification.
One of the purposes of the Bahá'í Faith is to help make this possible.
worldwide community of some five million Bah�'�s, representative of most
of the nations, races and cultures on earth, is working to give
Bahá'u'lláh's teachings practical effect. Their experience will be a
source of encouragement to all who share their vision of humanity as one
global family and the earth as one homeland.
