A Vision Beyond Religion: What Bahá’ís Believe
Oneness of humanity as the foundation for peace.
Equality of women and men as a divine principle.
Religion as a force for unity, not division.
For those disillusioned by conflict and sectarianism, these beliefs offer not theory, but a practical blueprint for reconciliation.
If the learned and worldly-wise men of this age were to allow mankind to inhale the fragrance of fellowship and love, every understanding heart would apprehend the meaning of true liberty, and discover the secret of undisturbed peace and absolute composure.
– Bahá’u’lláh –
