Believed to be the promised stage in God’s progressive spiritual and social education of our planet, the Bahá’í Faith shares many similarities with Judaism, Christianity, and Islam such as monotheism, stories of many of the same prophets, scriptures in common, practices of prayer, centrality of Grace, and an emphasis on being called to an ethical relationship with our one Creator and Lord.

Bahá’u’lláh’s given name was Ḥusayn ‘Alí

The Bahá’í Faith teaches that the various religions came from the same source, known in English as God, in Arabic as Allah.

It is not that the publishing a photo/image of Baha'u'llah is forbidden to Bahá’ís; rather, the image of Bahá’u’lláh is very sacred to Bahá’ís and they do not wish for it to be viewed and engaged with in a casual manner.

It would be reassuring to me to learn that the Bahá’í Faith celebrates in the Bible the inspired words of God, venerate its many prophets, and loves Jesus, recognizes Him to be the Son of God who dedicated and sacrificed His life so we may live in grace and be quickened by the Spirit with eternal life in heavenly nearness to God.

When we take a look at these distinguishing features of the Bahá’í Faith, we find both originality AND confirmation of other religions.
