What Bahá'í’s believe.
One God.
There is one eternal Creator, known by many names throughout history. While God’s reality is beyond full human understanding, we recognize divine qualities reflected in the world and within ourselves. We come to know God through the teachings of His Messengers.
"The peoples of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God." — Bahá’u’lláh
One Human Family.
All people belong to a single, beautifully diverse human family. Our differences enrich us. This belief calls us to work for unity, kindness, and justice, and to remove prejudice in all its forms.
"Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship." — Bahá’u’lláh
One Unfolding Religion.
The great religions of the world come from the same divine Source. Each was revealed to guide humanity toward greater understanding and unity. Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings continue this unfolding spiritual journey for our time.
"This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future." — Bahá’u’lláh
The Equality of Women and Men.
Women and men are equal in the sight of God. Humanity can only progress when both halves of the world advance together. The Bahá’í community works actively to promote equality in all aspects of life.
Harmony of Science and Religion.
True religion and true science are in harmony. Together, they help us understand reality, solve problems, and build a peaceful and just society. We are encouraged to use both reason and spiritual insight.
Personal Spiritual Growth.
Each person is responsible for developing their own spiritual life. Daily prayer, reflection, and service strengthen our connection with God and guide us in contributing to the well-being of others.
Community Life.
Bahá’í communities are open, welcoming spaces where people of all backgrounds learn, reflect, and serve together. There is no clergy — we support one another and elect local and national councils to guide community affairs.
