Does anyone know about the Bahai religion?

Question

Like, what are their beliefs, and others..

Answer 1

Summing up any religion is a tough order but the Baha'i Faith believes that there is one God and He created humanity to know and love Him. The way that He has informed us of His existence is through a series of Messengers (Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc.) These Messengers deliver God's teachings so that we can have an "ever advancing civilization". We are told that the next step is the unification of the entire planet and that this will require the establishment of God Kingdom on earth. This is require because there is no other force with the capability to unify all of humanity and as we can see in the news everyday there is a great deal more unity needed. There is much more and the website below has those answers.

Take care and good question...

Answer 2

Bahai are humorous people who say all religions are ok all good, yet do no longer clarify why if all faiths are ok, we choose one extra faith to assert purely that. Bahai have been with the Shah of Iran who killed somewhat some Shia, inclusive of throwing non secular pupils from the roof of a non secular college in Qom. in the event that they have been rather for peace, why did they element with a violent guy. In my own view Mr. Baha-Allah became created via the British to break the Shia Islam, purely as they created the Wahabis to break the Arab Sunni Islam and defeat Turkey (check out Lawrence of Arabia). Mahdavis have been created to make discord between the sub-continent Muslims. countless newly created non secular orders had sprouted everywhere in the globe whereever the British had some effect to convey with reference to the hot worldwide Order that we are at present recent technique.

Answer 3

They believe in unity of people, and accept all prophets e.g. Jesus, Mohammed, Moses.

The Bahá'í Faith was founded by Bahá'u'lláh in 19th century Persia.

According to 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 expected redeemer and teacher prophesied in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, 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.

Answer 5

The Baha'i Faith is a worldwide religion based on the teachings of Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). He stated that the time had come for the people of the world to put aside their differences and to unite on the basis of the teachings that he had brought.

"We desire but the good of the world and happiness of the nations.... That all nations should become one in faith and all men as brothers; that the bonds of affection and unity between the sons of men should be strengthened; that diversity of religion should cease, and differences of race be annulled... Yet so it shall be; these fruitless strifes, these ruinous wars shall pass away, and the "Most Great Peace" shall come.... These strifes and this bloodshed and discord must cease, and all men be as one kindred and one family.... Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind.... " (words spoken by Baha'u'llah to Prof. E.G. Browne of Cambridge University in 1890).

Part of the spiritual discipline that Bahá'u'lláh has given to his followers is to spend time every day in carrying out spiritual exercises. One of these is daily obligatory prayer. There are three obligatory prayers and a Bahá'í is free to choose any one of them to say daily. There are also many other prayers which one can use as part of one's devotions.

Bahá'u'lláh has also instructed his followers to read a passage of the scripture and meditate upon it twice a day, morning and evening. It is not the physical action of performing these spiritual disciplines that is important but rather the spirit in which they are done. The intention should be to turn away from the world and towards the spiritual realm. It is the quality of the time spent in this way that is important not the quantity.

Apart from prayer and meditation, the other major spiritual discipline or tool for spiritual advancement is fasting. Bahá'ís fast from sunrise to sunset for nineteen days of the year (2 March to 20 March). This is a period of spiritual regeneration.

Indeed fasting is a symbol for our desire to become detached from the things of this world.

Marriage is considered in the Bahá'í Faith to be one of the most important social institutions. "And when He [God] desired to manifest grace and beneficence to men, and to set the world in order, He revealed observances and created laws: among them He established the law of marriage, made it as a fortress for well-being and salvation . . ."

Death is regarded by Bahá'ís as a stage in one's eternal life. It is the point that marks one's passage to the next world . The body that has been the temple within which the human soul has resided should be treated with respect and the funeral ceremonies carried out "with dignity and honour". Cremation is forbidden. `Abdu'l-Bahá explains that, according to the natural order of things, the body should be allowed to decompose gradually. There is a specific prayer that should be said at the funeral. There are also other prayers that may be said at the funeral or at a later time for the dead person's spiritual progress in the next world .

A number of doctrines and practices which have grown up in various religions have been specifically abolished by Bahá'u'lláh. These include: the priesthood; the waging of holy war; asceticism and monasticism; the confession of sins; the burning of books; the use of pulpits; and regarding certain people or things as impure.

Bahá'u'lláh prohibited his followers from a number of activities including: slavery; begging; the kissing of hands; the taking of intoxicating drugs and alcohol; gambling; carrying arms unnecessarily; and homosexuality.
