O Children of Men! Know ye not why We created you all from the same
dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other.
Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since
We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent
on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat
with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your
inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness
and the essence of detachment may be made manifest.- Bahá'u'lláh
In
the Baha'i Faith, religious history is seen to have unfolded through a
series of divine messengers, each of whom established a religion that
was suited to the needs of the time and the capacity of the people.
These messengers have included Abraham, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and
others, and most recently the Bab and Baha'u'llah. In Baha'i belief,
each consecutive messenger prophesied of messengers to follow,
Baha'u'llah's life and teachings fulfilled the end-time promises of
previous scriptures. Humanity is understood to be in a process of
collective evolution, and the need of the present time is for the
gradual establishment of peace, justice and unity on a global scale.
