Bahá’í Faith - An Introduction
This section covers some of the very basic points of knowledge about the Bahá’í Faith and serves as an introduction for the other topics. Bahá’u’lláh claimed that he had come to unite the world in one common faith. He said “the earth is but one country and mankind its citizens”. He explained that all religions are stages in the life of humanity, like classes in a school - each one takes us further than the one before, and this process will continue everlastingly into the future.
1.
What is the most fundamental teaching of the Bahá’í Faith?
Justice
Unity
Honesty
Detachment
This means the unity of religions and the unity of humanity. Justice, honesty and detachment are, of course, all teachings of the Bahá’í Faith; however the establishment of unity is the underlying teaching. This is the most pressing need of the world today, for without it, we cannot achieve a lasting peace.
2.
What is the name of the elected world body which handles the affairs of the Faith?
The World Unity
The Social Development Council
The Universal House of Justice
