Baha'i Faith at a Glance

What is Baha'i?

One God

One Evolving Faith

One Human Family

The Baha'i Faith is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Baha'u'llah is the Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i Faith and brought a global vision of unity and justice for all humankind.

Baha'is believe there is just one Creator. Although called by many names—God, Allah, the Great Spirit—this Unknowable Essence is the Source of all light and life.

Throughout history, God has sent Messengers to guide humanity in its development: Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Krishna, and Buddha. Baha'u'llah is the most recent of these Messengers.

Human beings are wonderfully varied in culture, language and customs, yet we are essentially one race of people. Humanity's challenge in this day is to embrace this principle of unity in diversity.

One Worldwide Community

There are Baha'is in every country in the world, all working to build community at the grassroots, bring diverse people together and forge a just and peaceful global civilization to carry us into the future.
