Beliefs

Bahá'ís believe in the essential unity of the great world religions, and that God has revealed himself to humanity through a series of Divine Manifestations including Abraham, Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Moses, Mohammed, Zoroaster and the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. Bahá'ís also believe in the unity of humanity, the elimination of extremes of wealth and poverty, the need for universal education, equality between women and men and harmony between science and religion.


The teachings of Bahá'u'lláh include the following:
  • The oneness of the world's religions

  • The oneness of humanity, regardless of ethnic origin, racial, cultural or religious background

  • That science and religion are complementary

  • The equality of women and men

  • The responsibility of individuals to independently investigate truth


The Universal House of Justice, based on Mount Carmel in Israel, is the global governing body; elected National Spiritual Assemblies supervise affairs in each country and local Spiritual Assemblies administer local affairs.  Bahá'u'lláh set out the basic principles and systems for administration and forbade the establishment of priesthood.
