Welcome

For if the character of mankind be not changed, the futility of God's universal Manifestations would be apparent.

Bahá'u'lláh, The Book of Certitude, 3d. ed. (Wilmette: Bahá'í Publishing trust, 1982), pp. 240-241.

So what is the Baha'i Faith?

The Bahá'í Faith, founded by Bahá'u'lláh, represents essentially the renewal of religion with teachings relevant to contemporary needs and the requirements of humanity's collective future. It rests on a broad base of sacred scriptures that both nourish the soul and provide laws and principles of social interaction.

Some basic beliefs include:

  • full equality between women and men in all departments of life and at every level of society.
  • harmony between science and religion as two complementary systems of knowledge that must work together to advance the well-being and progress of humanity.
  • the elimination of all forms of prejudice.
  • the establishment of a world commonwealth of nations.
  • recognition of the common origin and fundamental unity of purpose of all religions.
  • spiritual solutions to economic problems and the removal of economic barriers and restrictions.
  • the abolition of extremes of wealth and poverty.
  • the adoption of a world auxiliary language, a world script, a uniform and universal system of currency and of weights and measures.
