God
Bahá’ís believe in a single, unknowable and infinite God.
Core beliefs
The Bahá’í Faith was founded in 1844 in Iran.
Origins
- Humans are a single people with a common destiny
- God progressively reveals his will to successive generations by sending Manifestations of Himself from time to time. These include Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus Christ, the Prophet Mohammed and Bahá’u’lláh
Statistics
There are approximately six million Bahá’ís in 235 countries. Of these, 6,000 Bahá’í live in the UK, including Tower Hamlets.
Diversity
The Bahá’í Faith remains a single, united movement.
Worship
The Bahá’í Faith has no set worship services or priests. Most Bahá’í meetings take place in people’s homes or Bahá’í centres.
Bahá’ís are obliged to say one of three daily prayers known as the ‘obligatory prayers’. They believe that prayer is a conversation with God and food for the human soul.
