- This article refers to the generally-recognized global Bahá'í community. See disambiguation for others.
The Bahá'í Faith is a religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh in 19th century Persia. In the early twenty-first century, Bahá'ís number around six million in more than two hundred countries around the world.See Bahá'í statistics for a breakdown of different estimates.
In Bahá'í teachings, religious history is seen as an evolving educational process for mankind, through God's messengers, which are termed Manifestations of God. Bahá'u'lláh is seen as the most recent, pivotal, but not final of these individuals. He claimed to be the long-expected educator and teacher of all peoples, prophesied in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and other religions, and that his mission was to establish a firm basis for unity throughout the world, and inaugurate an age of peace and justice, which Bahá'ís expect will inevitably arise.
Fundamental to Bahá'í teachings are the principles of the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the oneness of humanity. These principles have a profound impact on the theological and social teachings of this religion.
