The Role of Prophets and Messengers
The Baha'i Faith was founded in the 19th century by Baha'u'llah, who is considered a messenger of God by Baha'is. Baha'u'llah's teachings emphasized the unity of all religions and the oneness of humanity.
In the Baha'i Faith, there are two categories of messengers: prophets and lesser messengers. Prophets are the most significant messengers and include figures such as Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Lesser messengers include figures such as Zoroaster, Krishna, and Confucius. Baha'is believe that all of these messengers brought teachings from God, but that Baha'u'llah is the latest messenger and his teachings are the most complete and relevant for today's world.
Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah's mission was to bring about the unity of humanity and the establishment of world peace. His teachings include the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the oneness of humanity. Baha'u'llah's writings, which include the Kitab-i-Aqdas and the Kitab-i-Iqan, are considered sacred scripture by Baha'is. Baha'u'llah's teachings have also inspired various social and humanitarian initiatives, such as the promotion of gender equality, the elimination of prejudice, and the education of children.
Baha'is believe that the teachings of Baha'u'llah will ultimately lead to the establishment of a global civilization that is just, peaceful, and prosperous. They also believe that Baha'u'llah's mission was not just for the people of his time, but for all of humanity, and that his teachings are relevant for people of all backgrounds and cultures today.
