Bahá’í History Collection

Founded in 1844 with the Declaration of the Báb (the Gate), continuing in 1863 with the Declaration of Bahá'u'lláh (Glory of God) -- Bahá'ís believe these two successive revelations of God's Will brought our Creator's guidance for humanity today. We are advancing toward world peace and goodwill for all, the fulfillment of the promise in all major religions.

The essence of the Revelation is attested in these words of Bahá'u'lláh:

O contending peoples and kindreds of the earth!
Set your faces towards unity, and let the radiance
of its light shine upon you. Gather ye together, and
for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever
is the source of contention amongst you.

Then will the effulgence of the world’s great Luminary
envelop the whole earth, and its inhabitants become the citizens
of one city, and the occupants of one and the same throne. . .

There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the world,
of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from
one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God.

Dedicated to my mom Ella Mae and dad Larry Lee, my family's first Bahá'ís in 1971 and '72, and my wonderful Persian wife, part of her family's five generations of Bahá'ís from the land and city of Bahá'u'llah's birth.
