What is Baha’í?

Bahá’u’lláh, who is considered a messenger of God, founded the Baha'i faith in Persia. Embracing all faiths, Baha’ís believe that Bahá'u'lláh is the most recent messenger, coming after those such as Moses, Abraham, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. They believe all of these messengers are equal and have each founded separate religions based on the needs of the civilization at the time. They believe that all names for God (Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, etc.) are correct and refer to the same god. They believe all religions are in reality one religion that is continuously evolving.
