We are working toward Baha’u'llah’s vision of humanity as one people and of the earth as a common homeland. We believe in:
Amazon.com has a number of great Baha’i books. Here are a few of our favorites:
One God
There is only one Creator – the Source of all light and life, the ultimate reality, that unknowable essence of essences we call God.
One Evolving Religion
Throughout history God has sent Spiritual Educators to guide mankind: Zoroaster, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, and now Baha’u'llah.
One People
All of humanity is one human family. We are wonderfully diverse in culture and experience and we are one people.
Elimination of Prejudice
Acceptance of the oneness of mankind requires the abandonment of prejudices of all kinds—race, class, color, creed, religion, nation, gender, anything that enables people to feel superior to others.
Equality of Women and Men
Men and women are as two wings of a bird—if one wing is weak, the bird cannot fly. Only when women are welcomed into full partnership in all fields of human endeavor can humanity reach its true potential.
Harmony of Science and Religion
Human beings are endowed with both an intellect and a soul. Both must be developed for mankind to advance. Without reason, religion becomes mere superstition. Without the spiritual aspirations of religion, the fruits of science can be used in destructive ways.
