"He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body."  –Bahá'í Writings

Founded over a century and a half ago, the Bahá'í Faith is today among the fastest-growing of the world's religions. With more than five million followers, it is the second-most widespread faith, surpassing every religion but Christianity in its geographic reach. Bahá'ís reside in more than 100,000 localities around the world, an expansion that reflects their dedication to the ideal of world citizenship.

Bahá'ís believe that Bahá'u'lláh is the Messenger of God for this day. His teachings are the basis of the Bahá'í Faith, whose primary aim is the unity of humankind. Among the central teachings and beliefs of the Bahá'í Faith are the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the oneness of humankind.
