In addition to nationalism and religion, there has been significant global division. The lesson of humanity’s unity has been preached by messengers of numerous faiths, but it was finally lost when religion overcame man. The Baha’i faith’s founder, Baha’ullah, significantly altered how people thought around the world. He valued harmony, and this message reflected that. The Baha’i faith is a universally recognised religion with its calendar, holy days, and sacred scriptures. It lacks clergy, nevertheless, and elected assemblies oversee governance at all levels. One of the major tenets of the Baha’i faith is togetherness.
Over 150 years ago, the Persian Baha’ullah created the Baha’i faith. Baha’i temples are being built all over the world.
