world's independent religions, established in 235
countries and territories throughout the world. We come from
over 2,100 ethnic, racial, and tribal groups and number some 5
million worldwide.
For more than a century, Bahá'í
communities around the globe have been working to break down
barriers of prejudice between peoples and have collaborated
with other like-minded groups to promote the model of a global
society. At the heart of our belief is the conviction that
humanity is a single people with a common destiny. In the
words of Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of our Faith, "The earth is
but one country, and mankind its citizens."
Bahá'u'lláh taught that there is one God Who
progressively reveals His will to humanity. Each of the great
religions brought by the Messengers of God - Moses, Krishna, Buddha,
Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad - represents a successive
stage in the spiritual development of civilization.
Bahá'u'lláh, the most recent Messenger in this line, has
brought teachings that address the moral and spiritual
challenges of the modern world.
We invite you to learn
more about our Faith - its perspective of the past, its
understanding of the present, and its vision of the
future.
