A religion, founded in 1863 by Bahá'u'lláh. The believers (known as Bahá'ís) believe that Bahá'u'lláh was a messenger of God, i.e., sent by God, and that the Bahá'í Faith simply is the continuation of many other religions (whose founders were also sent by God, according to the Bahá'í Faith).

For a more detailed summary, see the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahá'í_Faith. Another source of information is www.bahai.org.

Throughout history, God has revealed Himself to humanity through a series of divine Messengers, whose teachings guide and educate us and provide the basis for the advancement of human society. These Messengers have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Their religions come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God. Bahá'u'lláh, the latest of these Messengers and the prophet founder of the Baha'i faith, brought new spiritual and social teachings for our time. His essential message is of unity. He taught the oneness of God, the oneness of the human family, and the oneness of religion. Bahá'u'lláh said, "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens," and that, as foretold in all the sacred scriptures of the past, now is the time for humanity to live in unity.

The Baha'i Faith originated in 19th Century Persia, present day Iran. The prophet, Baha'u'llah (ie., "Glory of God"), was born in Tehran. He was exiled first to Baghdad, later to Turkey, and finally imprisoned in Akka, in the Ottoman province of Palestine. So the world centre of the Bahai Faith is in what is now Israel. There are shrines and gardens there, and the Bahai international administrative institutions.
