Bahá’ís believe
the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá’u’lláh He not only affirms that human nature is fundamentally spiritual and inherently noble, but goes further to proclaim that our development as individuals is intimately connected to the advancement of our communities and ultimately of our societies. Service to humanity and worship of God are two inseparable aspects of life, which enable both individuals and society to progress.
“….let your vision be world embracing rather than confined to your own selves ….”
Bahá’u’lláh
The principal challenge facing the peoples of the earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the processes of unification.
One of the purposes of the Bahá’í Faith is to help make this possible. A worldwide community of some seven million Bahá’ís, representative of most of the nations, races and cultures on earth, is working to give Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings practical effect. Their experience will be a source of encouragement to all who share their vision of humanity as one global family and the earth as one homeland.
Bahá’í beliefs address such essential themes as the oneness of God and religion, the oneness of humanity and freedom from prejudice, the inherent nobility of the human being, the progressive revelation of religious truth, the development of spiritual qualities, the integration of worship and service, the fundamental equality of the sexes, the harmony between religion and science, the centrality of justice to all human endeavours, the importance of education, and the dynamics of the
relationships that are to bind together individuals, communities, and institutions as humanity advances towards its collective maturity.
