​"TO BE A BAHÁ’Í SIMPLY MEANS TO LOVE ALL THE WORLD; TO LOVE HUMANITY AND TRY TO SERVE IT; TO WORK FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE AND UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD."
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá

WHAT BAHÁ'ÍS BELIEVE

Throughout history, God has sent to humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have provided the basis for the advancement of civilization. These Manifestations have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Divine Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God. Bahá'ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá'u'lláh. 

COMMUNITY BUILDING

​It’s no secret that America is going through a tumultuous time. Tensions and divisions surface every day, reminding us that the stains of injustice and racial prejudice are set deeply in the fabric of our society. Bahá’ís are committed to reshaping society around principles of oneness – such as love, inclusivity and reciprocity. We hope to join hands with the countless like-minded Americans working for these same goals, and invite everyone to take a look at our approach.

ONENESS OF HUMANITY

All of the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith revolve around one central principle: that all of humanity was created as a single unit, like a family. Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, infused this principle into all of the spiritual concepts and social activities of the Faith.

The oneness of humanity sounds simple, but has profound implications when we explore the countless dimensions and layers of oneness.
