Bahá’ís regard their faith as part of a single, unfolding divine plan in which every major religion offers a chapter in the same spiritual book. The Manifestations of God—Abraham, Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh—appear in different eras to deliver guidance suited to humanity’s evolving needs. Like musicians in an orchestra, each plays a unique tune while contributing to the same grand symphony.

This conviction of progressive revelation means it isn’t a zero-sum game where one belief system trumps another. Instead, all religions share essential teachings—love, justice, unity—woven into the tapestry of human history. From meditation halls in the Far East to cathedrals in the West, the golden thread of service and moral upliftment binds them together.

In practical terms, Bahá’ís jump into interfaith dialogues both at the United Nations and in local communities. In the wake of COVID, virtual gatherings have become as commonplace as climate summits like COP28 in Dubai, bringing together diverse faith voices to tackle global challenges. Whether planning a joint charity drive with Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs or Jews, or brainstorming ways to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, every act of cooperation is seen as an investment in our shared future.

By honoring other faiths not as rivals but as siblings, Bahá’í communities break down walls of mistrust. In a world that needs bridges more than barriers, this approach invites everyone onto level playing ground—celebrating differences while focusing on what cements all hearts: a shared yearning for peace and progress.
