Bahá’í Faith - An Introduction
This section covers some of the very basic points of knowledge about the Bahá’í Faith and serves as an introduction for the other topics. Bahá’u’lláh claimed that he had come to unite the world in one common faith. He said “the earth is but one country and mankind its citizens”. He explained that all religions are stages in the life of humanity, like classes in a school - each one takes us further than the one before, and this process will continue everlastingly into the future.

Shaykh Ahmad
Siyyid Kázim
William Sears
Shoghi Effendi
He was `Abdu’l-Bahá’s eldest grandson. He supervised the worldwide spread of the Faith. By the time Shoghi Effendi had died, the Bahá'í Faith had spread sufficiently around the world, enabling the election of a governing world body, as ordained by Bahá'u'lláh.
4 .

If we meditate, progressive ideas will be revealed to us
If we meditate, the road to progress will be revealed to us
We need to become progressively more spiritual
Religions progress from one to the next. Each religion is sent by God for a particular time, building on the one before
The phrase “Progressive Revelation” refers to Bahá’u’lláh’s explanation of the relationship between all the religions, which arose at different times and in different places.
5 .
Which is the second most widespread of the world’s religions? (This is measured by the number of countries with organised groups.)

The Báb
`Abdu’l-Bahá

In 1844 in Iran, the Báb declared that his purpose was to prepare mankind for the coming of a new, universal religion from God. He was martyred in 1850.
7 .
What is the most fundamental teaching of the Bahá’í Faith?
Justice
Unity
Honesty
Detachment
This means the unity of religions and the unity of humanity.

This is the most pressing need of the world today, for without it, we cannot achieve a lasting peace.
