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.
