![]() | The Bahá’ís of America: The Growth of a Religious Movement The Bahá'í Faith had its origins in nineteenth century Shi'ite Islam, but embraces Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad--among others--as prophets, each seen as a divine messenger uniquely suited to the needs of his time. The Bahá'í community has spread to become the second most geographically widespread religion in the world. It has a 120 year history in the United States, where members have promoted their core belief that all people are created equal.
