Historical Note

The word bahá'í comes from the name of the founder of the faith - Baha'u'llah ("the glory of god"). Thus, Bahá'í means a follower of Baha'u'llah. Bahá'í is known as a world religion. The faith originated in Persia in 1844. Local and national Bahá'í Spiritual Assemblies are the pattern for the House of Justice. Bahá'í's reject differences based on race, class, and religion.
