The principle of the oneness of humankind is the pivot around which all the teachings of Baha'u'llah revolve.
Baha’u’llah announced in 1863 that He is God's Messenger for this age. His teachings and sacred writings are the basis of the Baha'i Faith.
The Baha'i teachings prescribe daily prayer and intimate communion with God as the foundation for a life devoted to spiritual advancement and service to humanity.
Ask young members of the Baha'i Faith what they’re involved in, and you’ll no doubt hear about helping to build sustainable communities, teaching children principles of morality, participating in interfaith programs and doing service projects, among other activities.
Baha'i study circles, which are multiplying rapidly throughout the world, are gatherings of Baha'is and non-Baha'is interested in an in-depth, systematic study of the Baha'i writings.
The Baha'i community places great emphasis on the moral and spiritual education of children and youth, with a focus on providing ongoing opportunities for developing a sense of world citizenship and a lifelong commitment to serve humanity.
