Bahaʼí Faith at a Glance

What is Baha'i?

The Bahaʼí Faith is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Baha'u'llah is the Prophet-Founder of the Bahaʼí Faith and brought a global vision of unity and justice for all humankind.

One God

 Bahaʼís believe there is just one Creator. Although called by many names—God, Allah, the Great Spirit—this Unknowable Essence is the Source of all light and life.

One Evolving Faith

Throughout history, God has sent Messengers to guide humanity in its development:  Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Krishna, and Buddha. Baha'u'llah is the most recent of these Messengers.

One Human Family

Human beings are wonderfully varied in culture, language and customs, yet we are essentially one race of people. Humanity's challenge in this day is to embrace this principle of unity in diversity.
