The Baha’i Faith: A Unique Perspective on Unity of Religion

The Baha’i Faith, founded by Baha’u’llah (1817-1892), considers itself the latest of the major world religions. It began in Persia (Iran) in 1844. “Baha’i” means “follower of Baha’u’llah,” just as “Christian” means “follower of Christ.” “Baha’u’llah” is an Arabic title that means “Glory of God.”

Baha’u’llah was a Muslim, just as Jesus was a Jew. Just as Christianity is not a sect of Judaism, the Baha’i Faith is not a sect of Islam. Rather, the Baha’i Faith is an independent world religion. It has its own Holy Books, Holy Days, Holy Places, laws, teachings, administrative institutions, and even its own calendar.

Baha’is come from every background you can imagine and reside in over 100,000 localities in virtually every country and territory on the planet. The majestic Baha’i World Center is located on the slopes of Mt. Carmel in Haifa, Israel.
