In the Baha'i Faith, the founder of every religion is known as a 'Manifestation of God.' He is not 'God' as such, but reflects the perfections of God like light reflected in a mirror. The Manifestation of God is the only way we humans can get a glimpse of true divinity, but God is an unknowable essence. All the Manifestations - Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, to name a few - are equal in status and each one has a specially designated task on earth. In the past religions the Manifestations revealed messages which were specifically tied to the needs of the time and place in which they were revealed. The laws of the Torah, for instance, were not appropriate to ancient Arabia and therefore the Laws of Islam are different.
Baha'is believe that the needs of the modern world have changed yet again and the time has come for a universal religion. The Manifestation of God for the whole world for this age is Bahá'u'lláh, which is Arabic for 'Glory of God.' He was born in 1817 and died in 1892 and His resting place is in the Holy Land.
