Beliefs

Bahá'í religion may be unique in the way that it accepts all other faiths as true and valid. To Bahá'ís, every religion is the religion of God.

They accept the divine nature of the missions of Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad. They believe each one was a further stage in the revelation of God.
