Baha’i Basics
________________________________________
Founder
Baha’u’llah, a native of Persia, announced in 1863 that He was God’s Messenger for the Age. His Teachings and Sacred Writings are the basis of the Baha’i Faith. He claimed His Divine Mission was to bring about the spiritual rebirth and the unity of mankind. He promised that this would lead to the establishment of permanent world peace and the Kingdom of God on Earth.
Baha’u’llah proclaimed that God sends Divine Messengers with Teachings that enable humanity to know and worship God. These Great Manifestations, which have appeared throughout history at intervals of about 500 to 1,000 years, bring human civilization to ever higher levels of spiritual and material advancement. Baha’u’llah is revered as the latest in this long line of Divine Messengers, which has included Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Buddha and Zoroaster.
Baha’u’llah was imprisoned, tortured and exiled, but continued to urge emperors, kings and other national leaders to reconcile and pursue world peace. He was born in 1817, died in 1892.
Baha’is believe
The purpose of life is to know and worship God, to acquire virtues, to promote the oneness of humankind and to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization.
All humanity was created by one God and is part of one human race.
Work performed in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship.
The soul, created at the moment of conception, is destined by God to reach the afterlife, where it will continue to progress until it attains the presence of God.

High moral principles, including trustworthiness, chastity and honesty;
Independent investigation of truth;
A life dedicated to the service of humanity;
