Baháít

The Baháʼí Faith is a monotheistic religion founded by Baháʼu'lláh in the 19th century. It teaches that there is one God who progressively reveals His will to humanity through a series of divine messengers, whose teachings form the basis of successive religions. Baháʼí believe that the most recent of these messengers was Baháʼu'lláh, and that his teachings are the fulfillment of past prophecies and the foundation for a future, unified global civilization.

Central tenets of the Baháʼí Faith include the oneness of God, the oneness of humanity, and the essential harmony of all religions. Baháʼís strive to eliminate prejudice, promote gender equality, and foster universal education. They believe in the principle of independent investigation of truth, meaning each person should seek truth for themselves without blind imitation of others.

The Baháʼí Faith emphasizes unity in diversity, viewing the world's peoples and cultures as varied expressions of a single human family. Its social teachings advocate for a world government, a world language, and the equitable distribution of resources. Worship in the Baháʼí Faith is generally private or in small gatherings, with no clergy. The community is administered through elected councils at local, national, and international levels, with the Universal House of Justice serving as the supreme governing body. The faith has spread to over 230 countries and territories, with its adherents forming a diverse global community.
