Throughout history, God has sent to humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have provided the basis for the advancement of civilization. These Manifestations have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God.
Bahá’ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá’u’lláh.
What Bahai's believe
The Baha’i teachings focus on the soul’s relationship with the eternal, unknowable essence of God, and recommend daily prayer and meditation to everyone. Baha’is believe that the human spirit lives eternally, and so endeavor to illumine their souls with spiritual attributes kindness, generosity, integrity, truthfulness, humility, and selfless service to others.
The Baha’i Faith provides the means for peace and tranquility through a progressive set of social teachings:
Independent Investigation of Truth
Elimination of Prejudice of Every Kind
The Oneness of Humanity
One Essential Foundation for All Religions
Religion Should Cause Love, Affection, and Joy
The Harmony of Science and Religion
A Universal Auxiliary Language
Universal Compulsory Education
Gender Equality
Establishing a World Parliament
The Abolition of the Extremes of Wealth and Poverty
The Non-Involvement of Religion With Politics
Human Rights for All
These fundamental Baha’i principles call for a complete restructuring of humanity’s priorities from material to spiritual, from exclusive to inclusive, and from divisiveness to unity.
What Bahai's Do
The core activities which Bahá’ís pursue in their neighbourhoods and villages around the world are: children’s classes, spiritual empowerment programmes for young people, devotional gatherings and circles of study that build capacity for service.
