The Bahá’í Faith - an Introduction

The Baha’i Faith is the youngest in the family of world religions. It began in 1844 in Iran when a young man known
as the Báb said that a new Messenger was to come to unite the whole world. In 1863 Baha’u’llah announced that
He was that Messenger. A Baha’i is a follower of Baha’u’llah.

The Baha’i Faith is followed by several million people, spread all over the world, and it is now the seventh biggest
religion.

The Baha’i Faith teaches that there is only one God, that all the main religions come from God and they have the
same spiritual aims. It also teaches peace and the oneness of humanity. A Baha’i believes that it is time for the
world to be united so the most important belief is in “Unity”. Baha’is believe that all human beings should be like
one family. This means that loyalty to humanity is more important than the loyalty to tribes and nations which
causes so much trouble in the world. Baha’is therefore think that it is important for everyone to be united. We
must lose all our prejudices of race and religion, and treat everyone with love and kindness. We must never say
bad things about anyone. Baha’u’llah said:

“This harmful of dust, this earth, let it be in unity”

1. What would the world be like if no-one ever said anything bad about anyone?
2. Imagine you are a reporter for a magazine. Draw up a list of questions you would like to ask a Baha’i
about their religion.
