Bahá'ís are your friends and neighbors. We
come from all walks of life and religious backgrounds. But we
have found a common faith in the deeply spiritual and relevant
teachings of the founder of the Bahá'í religion, Bahá'u'lláh, which means "The
Glory of God." We invite you to investigate the Bahá'í
Faith. We think you'll be impressed by the power of its
teachings to bring hope to a hurting world and to
transform individual hearts and minds.
The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent
religions and is established in more locations around the
planet than any faith other than Christianity. Its
founder, Bahá'u'lláh (an Arabic title meaning The Glory of
God)), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the most recent in the line of
Messengers of God that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha,
Krishna, Christ and Muhammad.
Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892) taught that there is one God Who,
through a series of divine teachers, has revealed His
immeasurable love for humanity and His will for human spiritual
progress. These teachings have been the chief civilizing
force in history. While the bulk of humanity has seen
these successive divine revelations as separate, irreconcilable
religious systems, Bahá'u'lláh taught that, in fact, they have
all served the common purpose of bringing the human race to
spiritual and moral maturity. The central theme of
Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one single race
and that the day promised by all the world’s religions for its
unification into one global family has come.
