O MY CHILDREN! I fear lest, bereft of the melody of the dove of heaven, ye will sink back to the shades of utter loss, and, never having gazed upon the beauty of the rose, return to water and clay. (from "The Hidden Words" by Baha'u'llah)
What is the Baha'i faith?
In the Baha'i faith, we believe that over the ages, God has sent various Messengers, such as Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, to teach us about religion. Each of these Messengers teaches a message that is suited to the day and age in which They live, but also contains the same universal spiritual truths. We believe that the most recent of these Messengers is Baha'u'llah, born in Persia in 1817. He taught the oneness of mankind, the unity of all the world's religions, and the equality of all men and women in the world. Please check out some of the links below to find out more about the Baha'i faith.

One of the hardest things to do is figure out how to pronounce some of the Baha'i terms without hearing them for yourself. Therefore I have created the following list of WAVE files to help with the pronounciation of common Baha'i terms.
A member of the Baha'i faith.
The founder of the Baha'i faith. The name Baha'u'llah is Arabic and means "The Glory of God". He was born in Persia in 1817.
Abdu'l-Baha was the son of Baha'u'llah. As the "Center of the Covenant" he became head of the Baha'i faith when Baha'u'llah passed away. His name means servant of Baha.
The Will and Testament of Abdu'l-Baha appointed his grandson, Shoghi Effendi, as the Guardian of the Baha'i faith when Abdu'l-Baha passed away in 1921.
This term is referred to as The Greatest Name. It is Arabic and means "God the Most-Glorious". It is used in the Long Obligatory Prayer and is often used as a greeting among members of the Baha'i faith.
