Who are we?

We are a diverse group of men, women, and children who share a common belief in Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith. We are part of a world-wide Bahá’í community.

While some of us were born into Bahá’í families, others learned about the Bahá’í Faith through independent investigation before becoming Bahá’ís. We may have talked with a Bahá’í, read Bahá’í writings, or prayed; attended a devotional gathering, holy day celebration, or informal fireside meeting; or participated in study circles, junior youth activities, or children’s classes.

Who is Bahá’u’lláh?

Bahá’u’lláh is the latest in a series of divine Messengers from God. He brought new spiritual and social teachings for our time. His essential message is of unity.

(For the first time in a feature-length documentary, The Promise of All Ages explores the life of Bahá’u’lláh.)

Inspired by the celebration of the Bicentenary of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh, we are pleased to present a special edition adapted from the feature-length documentary. This 17-minute film offers an introduction to His life, His revelation, and His profound impact on humanity.

The Bahá’í Faith

The Bahá’í Faith’s central theme is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for humanity’s unification into one global society. Service to humanity and social and economic justice are upheld as two of the highest ideals.

The Bahá’í Faith teaches that the goal of the unity of humankind can be achieved through the following beliefs and principles:

• The oneness of God
• The oneness of religion
• Equality of men and women
• Elimination of all forms of prejudice
• Independent investigation of truth
• World peace will come about when the people of the world are united.
  “My object is none other than the betterment of the world and the tranquillity of its peoples. The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established. This unity can never be achieved so long as the counsels which the Pen of the Most High hath revealed are suffered to pass unheeded.” Bahá’u’lláh

Learn about the Faith in bite-sized pieces in “Perspectives“. Many daily subjects are discussed in short pages. The images are ads that were run in local papers, the rest is an expansion on the subject with references (links) to the Bahá’í Writings, the source of the information.
