From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bahá'í Faith is a monotheistic religion whose members follow the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, their prophet founder. Bahá'u'lláh taught that there is one God who progressively reveals his will to humanity. In the Bahá'í view, each of the great religions brought by the Messengers of God—such as Moses, Krishna, the Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad and the Báb—represents a successive stage in the spiritual development of civilization. Bahá'ís believe Bahá'u'lláh is the most recent Messenger in this line, and has brought teachings that address the moral and spiritual challenges of the modern world. As such, although the Bahá'í Faith is not traditionally included among the Abrahamic religions, it recognizes many of the same personages.
