Answer by Tu Nga
The Baha’i Faith is the most recent revelation of the One True God, stressing on the Unity of God, the Oneness of Religion and the Oneness of Mankind. Baha’u'llah, its Founder, has revealed more than one hundred Holy Books to guide mankind to the Most Great Peace for a Cycle lasted for no less than 5000 centuries. The Encyclopedia Britannica stated that it is the most widespread religion on earth after Christianity.
Following are the Basic Teachings of Bahá’u'lláh:
Bahá’u'lláh taught that there is one God Whose successive Revelations to humanity have been the chief civilizing force in history. The agents of this process have been the Divine Messengers Whom people have seen chiefly as the Founders of separate religious systems but Whose common purpose has been to bring the human race to spiritual and moral maturity.
Humanity is now coming of age. It is this that makes possible the unification of the human family and the building of a peaceful, global society. Among the principles which the Bahá’í Faith promotes as vital to the achievement of this goal are:
•the abandonment of all forms of prejudice
•assurance to women of full equality of opportunity with men
•recognition of the unity and relativity of religious truth
•the elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth
•the realization of universal education
•the responsibility of each person to independently search for truth
•the establishment of a global commonwealth of nations
•recognition that true religion is in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Baha’u’llah says:
“And when this process of progressive Revelation culminated in the stage at which His peerless, His most sacred, and exalted Countenance was to be unveiled to men’s eyes, He chose to hide His own Self behind a thousand veils, lest profane and mortal eyes discover His glory. This He did at a time when the signs and tokens of a divinely-appointed Revelation were being showered upon Him — signs and tokens which none can reckon except the Lord, your God, the Lord of all worlds. And when the set time of concealment was fulfilled, We sent forth, whilst still wrapt within a myriad veils, an infinitesimal glimmer of the effulgent Glory enveloping the Face of the Youth, and lo, the entire company of the dwellers of the Realms above were seized with violent commotion and the favored of God fell down in adoration before Him. He hath, verily, manifested a glory such as none in the whole creation hath witnessed, inasmuch as He hath arisen to proclaim in person His Cause unto all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth. (Baha’u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u'llah, p. 74)
