“So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.”

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
Isaiah 2: 2-3

Core Principles

The Bahá’í Faith is guided by principles that promote the betterment of the world and the advancement of civilization.

Oneness of Humanity

The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.” “The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”

Independent Investigation

“Each must see with his own eyes and not through the eyes of others.”

Equality of Men and Women

“Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight of God.”

Elimination of Prejudice

“Close your eyes to racial differences, and welcome all with the light of oneness.”

Harmony of Science and Religion

“Religion and science are the two wings upon which man’s intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress.”

Universal Education

“It is incumbent upon every father to educate his children, both boys and girls, in the art of reading and writing and in all that hath been laid down in the Holy Tablet.”
“Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self.”
