I am a Baha'i (that's how it's spelled; may help with searching for info).  There is a lot of introductory info out there on the web.  Try http://www.bahai.org There's another post somewhere on here where I clear up some misconceptions.\n\nBaha'is are not pacifists.  We don't believe violence is the answer to the majority of the conflicts out there, but we do believe in the concept of a "just war."  We believe in global collective security: basically, if one country acts injustly, the ENTIRE WORLD should rise up and restore order.  NOT just one or two countries.  Sort of like the theory of the U.N. but much more effective.\n\nNo, there is no witchcraft element to the Baha'i Faith.\n\nNo, the Baha'i Faith isn't really a variant of Islam, any more than Christianity is a variant of Judaism.  We believe the Baha'i Faith is God's "next step" for us after Islam.  God sent us another Messenger after Muhammad to carry humanity to the next step in it's spiritual journey.  \n\nThe concept is called "progressive revelation" and many religions believe in the idea even if they don't call it that.  We believe that when the time is right, God sends us a divine message, though a special Person.  Moses was one, Jesus was one, the Buddha, Jesus Christ, Baha'u'llah.  These Messengers go back to before recorded time and will continue into the future.\n\nI could go on all day, but if you really want to know, check out http://www.bahai.org

Overview:\nThe Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's main religions. It was founded in Iran during the mid 19th century by  Siyyid 'Ali-Muhammad (1819-1850 CE). He assumed the title Bab ("the Gate") and prophesized the future arrival of "One greater than Himself." One of the Bab's followers, Mirza Husayn-'Ali-i-Nuri (1817-1892), announced that he was the Manifestation predicted by the Bab. He assumed the title Baha'u'llah ("glory of God"). His teachings on world peace, democracy, civil rights, equal rights for women, the acceptance of scientific discoveries, etc. were decades ahead of his time. \n\nBahá'ís believe in a single God who has repeatedly sent prophets into the world through whom he has revealed the "Word of God." Prophets include Adam, Krishna, Buddha, Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus), Mohammed, The Bab and Baha'u'llah. \n\nThe Bahá'í faith is still looked upon by many Muslims as a breakaway sect of Islam. Bahá'ís are heavily persecuted in some countries, particularly Iran.\n\nmore info on\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/bahai.htm

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.\n\nTake care and good question...

Well, I'm one of them, so I guess I know what I should.\nUnless you mean Muslims, in which case I know some, but not enough as I'd like.

i am a Baha'i. i love being a Baha'i more than anything in the world. I have never felt such a sense of truth or of love in my life. it is such a unifying religion. Baha'is believe in one universal God for all of the religions. that all of the manifestations of God come from one God (Abraham, Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Zoroaster, Mohammad, Christ, The Bab, and Baha'u'llah) for that time and age. It teaches that none of prophets are better than the other. Althought the message that they give as time progresses grows more potent as humanity matures in understanding. We believe in the equality of women and men, elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty, world peace, one God, the harmony of science and religion. In the Baha'i Faith there is no one wo preaches to you. each individual must go out and read from the writings her/himslef. whether it be in the privacy of ones house or in a study circle. when i get together with baha'is i feel so loved. we all greet one another with joy and happiness. We all share a common belief in the betterment of mankind as society degrades itself. i love the baha'i faith. i don't think words can describe the unity or the love that emanates from it.

Before the advent of Islam, there was a small group of people, who called themselves the followers of "Deen-e-Haneef", which was basically a monotheistic creed, ascribing to the belief of "one God" and adhering to the monotheistic practices of the Abrahamic tradition (these practices included: Sala'h (prayer), Sawm (fasting), Hajj (pilgrimage), Tawaaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah), Ai`tikaaf (confinement to the mosque for concentrated worship) etc.). The Prophet (pbuh), it is generally believed, ascribed to this group. However, there is hardly any authentic information available on this topic in the books of history. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that the Qur'an has clearly stated that before the initiation of revelation, the Prophet (pbuh) was not fully aware of the details of faith and belief and neither of the divine laws (Al-Shooraa 42: 52).\n\n\nEDIT: At least i gave my source..! I didn't want to summarize all that, sorry.

Today, I think that most, if not all, organized religions are off the mark a bit.  To rephrase, while I am struggling with the notion of God, I know that I do not believe in the God that Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Bahai's belive in.  Today, I believe that if there is a God, that he/she/it pressed the "start button" and left us to work out the rest for ourselves.

yes it a clear cntradiction with the claim of bahaism of gender equality in that faith. Bahaism is a male dominanted faith .\nRegarding their constitution the womew are not allowed to be clected as a member of universal house of justice which is a high ranking governing body of bahaism.\nApart from this clear contradiction there are also many diffferences of the rights of men and women such the share of inheritant and the marriage regulations and .....

the legend of the holy who?\nshows how much i know about my religion

I was born and raised Christian. After studying the Bahai Faith while in high  school, I became a Bahai.  Because Baha' u'llah often quotes from the Quran, I studied Islam. My fascination with religion led me to take two college courses on world religions, so I have studied some forms of paganism, Hinduism, Sikhism,  Judaism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism and Taoism.   My participation in forums such as this one -- and the violent attacks on Islam - have  led to more study of the Quran. And when the Jehovah's Witnesses dropped by, I studied  with them for awhile until they give up on me and stopped dropping by.  Since I have lived in Ohio, I became interested in the Amish religion and studied that for awhile. Online discussions and the behavior of some of its followers drove me to read up on Scientology. Basically, I find the variety of beliefs fascinating and love reading about them. I find that understanding religion makes it easier to understand people. More understanding, IMHO, would lead to fewer wars.
