"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens."
- Bahá'u'lláh

"The community eschews all forms of superstition, emphasizes the importance of an unfettered search for scientific and religious truth, and sets for its followers the goal of meeting the highest moral standards. World peace and the establishment of a united global commonwealth have been and remain distinguishing concerns."
- Bahai.org


What is Bahai? Many people want to know. A lot of people have heard of the Bahai faith or the Bahai religion, but don't know much about Bahai beliefs or Bahai history. Some people know that Bahai headquarters are in Haifa, Israel, where the Bahai temple is surrounded by a lavish garden. Others are familiar with the Bahai ringstone symbol or the Bahai founder Baha'u'llah.

To begin, the terms "Bahai faith" and "Bahai religion" are both correct termonology. "Bahai faith" is the term most associated with the worldview and convictions of Bahai's adherents, while "Bahai religion" is the term most used when refering to the community's organization, institutions, and religious requirements.
