“Let your vision be world embracing.”
~ Bahá’u’lláh
“Blessed is he who mingleth with all men in a spirit of utmost kindliness and love.”
~ Bahá’u’lláh
"Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.”
~ Bahá’u’lláh
Throughout history, God has sent humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have uplifted hearts and shaped civilizations. These include Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the most recent of these Messengers, taught that all the world’s great religions come from the same divine Source and are, in essence, chapters of one unfolding faith from God.
Bahá'ís believe that humanity’s most urgent need today is a unifying vision—one that brings clarity to the purpose of life and inspires collective progress. This vision is found in the writings of Bahá’u’lláh, which offer guidance on themes such as:
The oneness of God and religion
The oneness of humanity and freedom from prejudice
The inherent nobility of every human being
The progressive nature of religious truth
The development of spiritual qualities and virtues
The integration of worship and service
The equality of women and men
The harmony of science and religion
The vital role of justice in human affairs
The importance of education for all
The dynamic relationships that bind individuals, communities, and institutions
To explore these teachings further, we invite you to visit the Bahá’í Reference Library where you can read the sacred Writings of the Báb, Bahá’u’lláh, and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, as well as works by Shoghi Effendi and the Universal House of Justice.
