• The world's religions emanate from one God, who has given us one religious faith, progressively revealed by a succession of divine Messengers throughout history.
• The nature of the soul is eternal.
• The human family is one, and prejudice must be eliminated.
• Daily prayer and the study of the Word of God is essential.
• Living a moral life, centered on spiritual laws and principles, is vital.
• Family life is a foundation of society and marriage is a fortress for well-being.
• Women and men are equal in the eyes of God.
• Universal compulsory education (including spiritual education) is important.
• Religion must be harmonious with science and reason.
• It is each individual's responsibility to pursue an independent investigation of the truth.

About the Bahá'í Faith

Founded in the mid-nineteenth century, the Bahá'í Faith has spread to some 232 nations and territories and is now accepted by more than five million people. The word "Bahá'í" means "follower of Bahá'u'lláh." Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, is the Messenger of God for this day and the most recent in the succession of Messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Christ, and Muhammad. His name in Arabic means "The Glory of God." Bahá'ís believe Bahá'u'lláh was inspired by the Holy Spirit to reveal the Word of God in many volumes of sacred writings.

Bahá'ís believe that there is only one Supreme Being, known by different names in many languages; however, there is only one God. Similarly, Bahá'ís believe that the core values of all religions emanate from one God; therefore, religions are one. We believe God has revealed moral, social, and spiritual laws to us throughout the ages by sending us divinely-inspired Messengers. We believe that Bahá'u'lláh is the Promised One of this age. However, a significant point is that Bahá'ís as followers of Bahá'u'lláh also embrace and revere Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Muhammad as divine Messengers of God and feel a sense of unity with their followers.
