The Baha'i Faith is the most recent of the monotheistic Abrahamic faiths. In the Baha'i faith there is one and only one God, which means there is no Trinity. God is the One who created the world and everything in it. God is too big and subtle for human beings; therefore humans cannot capture a clear image or have a full understanding of God. One cannot see God at all because God does not have a body nor does he take form in human flesh. One can know God through prayer, meditation and study. Baha'is believe that God has chosen several prophets throughout history to manifest his will to the world. That said, prophets such as Moses, Muhammad, Krishna, Jesus, Abraham, Buddha and many others are considered messengers of that one God. Baha'u'llah is considered a prophet of God for this age. You may wonder: What about individuals of different religions who pray to God under different names? Baha'is would say that even though they use different names they are still praying to the same God. Historical Tradition/Origin of Tradition Bab was a young merchant and a precursor of Baha'u'llah. Although his name was Siyyid 'Ali-Muhammad, he took the name Bab which means "the Gate" or "Gate" in Arabic. On May 23, 1844, Bab declared himself an independent “Messenger of God” and announced that “the universally awaited Revelation of God to all mankind would soon appear.” His writings and teachings laid the foundation for Bahá'u'lláh's mission. Bab's announcement attracted the attention of many who later became his followers and also attracted the attention of the “ruling Muslim clergy”. Bab was then beaten, imprisoned, and accused of apostasy. Over 40,000 followers were killed due to persecution and genocide... middle of paper... the economic gap between rich and poor. 2.)

Meaning of Marriage – Marriage is between a man and a woman. Homosexuality is not considered a good thing in this faith. 4.)
