Dear Ones,
The Baha'i faith constitutes a distinct global religion. Its fundamental
belief is that the moment has arrived for humanity to come together in a
harmonious and equitable society. Adherents of the Baha'i Faith are
encouraged to exemplify this principle through their individual actions,
which can be encapsulated in the following concise admonition by Baha'u'llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith.
Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer to the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts.
The appointed Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, Shoghi Effendi, articulates
the fundamental principles of this Faith in the following manner:

It, moreover, enjoins upon its followers the primary duty of an unfettered search after truth, condemns all manner of prejudice and superstition, declares the purpose of religion to be the promotion of amity and concord, proclaims its essential harmony with science, and recognizes it as the foremost agency for the pacification and the orderly progress of human society. It unequivocally maintains the principle of equal rights, opportunities and privileges for men and women, insists on compulsory education, eliminates extremes of poverty and wealth, abolishes the institution of priesthood, prohibits slavery, asceticism, mendicancy and monasticism, prescribes monogamy, discourages divorce, emphasizes the necessity of strict obedience to one's government, exalts any work performed in the spirit of service to the level of worship, urges either the creation or the selection of auxiliary international language, and delineates the outlines of those institutions that must establish and perpetuate the general peace of mankind.
An individual becomes a Baha'i by recognizing BAHA'U'LLAH as the
Messenger of God for the present era and by committing to adhere to His
teachings and laws, along with the administrative structures He created
to promote the unity of humanity. To join the Baha'i Faith, one must
express this belief and commitment, either verbally or in writing, to
the Baha'i institution that oversees the COUNTRY in which they reside.
