The Baha´'í Faith recognizes the unity
of God and of His Prophets, upholds the principle of an unfettered
search after truth, condemns all forms of superstition and prejudice,
teaches that the fundamental purpose of religion is to promote concord
and harmony, that it must go hand-in-hand with science, and that it
constitutes the sole and ultimate basis of a peaceful, an ordered and
progressive society. It inculcates the principle of equal opportunity,
rights and privileges for both sexes, advocates compulsory education,
abolishes extremes of poverty and wealth, exalts work performed in the
spirit of service to the rank of worship, recommends the adoption of
an auxiliary international language, and provides the necessary
agencies for the establishment and safeguarding of a permanent and
universal peace.
