ONE HUMAN FAMILY


We believe God created us to be one human family. Together, we are all citizens and caretakers of one planet.Every person comes into the world as a noble and beautiful creation  of God. 


Our purpose in life is to draw closer to God by offering  selfless service to those with whom we share the planet.


This core belief in oneness calls us to actively root out our  prejudices and the systemic inequalities that divide people of different  ethnic backgrounds, national origins, genders and social classes.

GOD

 

 

We believe there is one  God, a loving Creator. God is limitless, all-knowing, all-powerful,  all-merciful. All the best human qualities are reflections of God’s  divine attributes.


As God’s creation, we may never understand God completely. God  communicates through Messengers, also referred to as Divine Educators.  We can know God through studying the words and scriptures of these  Messengers. 

DIVINE MESSENGERS

 

Divine Messengers

The Baha’i Faith was founded by two Divine Educators, the Bab and Baha’u’llah. Both lived during the 19th century in Persia, in a time of great turmoil.


The Bab, whose name means the Gate, encouraged all to seek spiritual  truth with independent hearts, by removing attachment to superstition  and reliance on clergy.


Baha’u’llah, whose name means the Glory of God, envisioned a future  where all of humanity operates as one family. His teachings help us  create more harmonious relationships between women and men, black and  white, rich and poor, East and West, friend and stranger. 

SCRIPTURE

  

Baha’u’llah revealed  over a hundred volumes of sacred texts, including prayers and  meditations, a book of laws, mystical passages and the Book of Certitude, which covers theology. 

 

Baha’u’llah’s Hidden Words are perhaps one of the most accessible scriptural collections, explaining the essence of faith in short and beautiful passages.

DAILY PRACTICES

 

Each Baha’i takes  time every day to pray, read from scripture, meditate, and reflect on  how to translate Baha’i teachings into action. There is no clergy or  priesthood in the Baha’i Faith. Each person is responsible for his or  her own relationship with God and spiritual development. 

ORGANIZTION

Grab interest

 

Each year, the Baha’i  community elects local and national councils, known as Spiritual  Assemblies. All Baha’is 21 and older are eligible to both vote and be  elected. Diverse membership, non-partisan elections, and collective  decision-making are basic features of the Baha’i model of leadership. In  place of a clergy or priesthood, these local assemblies ensure  community members feel cared for and connected to one another.

An international council, known as the Universal House of Justice, is elected once every five years.
