Religions
The Bahai Faith
In General

• Youngest world religion
• Originated in the 19th century as an offshoot of Islam
• May 24,1844 Persian, Siyyid-Muhammad, assumed
  the title, Bab (Gate), explaining that he had the
  mission of announcing the arrival of “One greater than
  himself.”
• Bab declared this from the Grand Mosque in Mecca
• His followers decided that Siyyid was the Mahdi, the
  direct prophet of God and greater than Muhammad
• Persecution developed and Siyyid was executed in
  1850
In General

• Siyyid had written that Mirza Yaha was to be his
  successor
• 1863 - Husayn Ali, Yaha’s half brother, said he, not
  Yaha, was to be the successor
• Took the name Baha’ullah (glory of God). His
  followers became known as Baha’is
• He preached extensively and wrote the Bahai sacred
  works, The Most Holy Book, The Book of Certitudes,
  and The Hidden Words
• The last 40 years of his life were spent in exile or
  prison
In General

• The last 22 years of Baha’ullah’s life were spent in
  prison at Acre, near Haifa, Israel
• The central shrine of the faith is located in Haifa
• Membership of the faith
  –   Worldwide – 6 million
  –   India – 2.5 million
  –   United States - 140,000

Many believe these figures are grossly inflated. Truer numbers,
according to One Nation Under God, are estimated at 1 million
    worldwide and 26,000 to 28,000 in the United States.
Beliefs

• Monotheistic, believing one God is the source
  of all creation
• God is transcendent and unknowable
• He has sent and will continue to send great
  prophets as manifestations of himself
• 10 have come: Adam, Abraham, Krishna,
  Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus Christ,
  Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha’ullah
Ten Principles of the Bahai Faith

• The essential unity of humankind – principle of
  oneness
• The independent investigation of truth
• The common foundation of all religions
• The essential harmony of religion and science
• The equality of men and women
• The elimination of all prejudice
• Universal compulsory education
• A spiritual solution to economic problems
• A universal auxiliary language
• Universal peace upheld by world government
