The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world's independent monotheistic religions.
Founded in Iran in 1844,
it now has more than five million adherents in 236 countries and territories.
Baha'is come from nearly every national,
ethnic and religious background,
making the Baha'i Faith the second-most-widespread religion in the world.
Baha'is view the world's major religions as a part of a single,
progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity.
Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), the Founder of the Baha'i Faith,
is recognized as the most recent in a line of Divine Messengers that includes
Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Baha'u'llah's message is
that humanity is one single race
and that the day has come for humanity's unification
into one global society.
While reaffirming the core ethical principles common to all religions,
Baha'u'llah also revealed new laws and teachings
to lay the foundations of a global civilization.
"A new life," Baha'u'llah declared, "is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth."
The worldwide Baha'i community,
composed of people from virtually every racial,
ethnic and religious background,
is working to give practical expression to Baha'u'llah's vision of world unity.
We invite you to learn more about the Baha'i Faith
and benefit from the spiritual and practical insights
found in the Revelation of Baha'u'llah,
God's message for humanity in this day.
