Bahá'í Faith Introduction

This year of service opportunity derived from my religion, the Bahá'í Faith. It would only be appropriate for me to give a brief explanation of this wonderful source.

The Bahá'í Faith is a world religion whose purpose is to unite all people and races in one universal Cause and one common Faith. As Bahá'ís, we are followers of Bahá'u'lláh who we believe is the Promised One of all Ages. Many traditions, cultures, and religions have a promise of a future when peace and harmony will be established on earth and humankind will live in prosperity. Well we believe that the promised hour has come and that Bahá'u'lláh will enable humanity to rebuild this world.

Bahá'u'lláh says:

"That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith."


For a global society to flourish, Bahá’u’lláh said, it must be based on certain fundamental principles.

They include:

• The elimination of all forms of prejudice
• Full equality between the sexes
• Recognition of the essential oneness of the world’s great religions
• The elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth
• Universal education; the harmony of science and religion
• A sustainable balance between nature and technology
• The establishment of a world federal system, based on collective security and the oneness of humanity.
