The Ascension of Bahá’u’lláh is celebrated annually on May 29 throughout the globe. Bahá’u’lláh was the prophet and founder of the Bahá Faith, which emphasises the spiritual unity of humanity.

The background of Ascension of Bahau’llah

Bahá’u’lláh was the prophet and founder of the Bahá’ Faith, a religion that emphasises the spiritual unity of humanity. Born into an Iranian noble family, he was exiled due to his belief in the messianic Báb. In 1863, he claimed to have received a revelation from God in Iraq, after which he was imprisoned for the remainder of his life in the Ottoman Empire. His teachings, which encompassed everything from moral and spiritual development to global governance, were predicated on the principles of unity and religious renewal.

According to teachings, a single God reveals religion through Manifestations of God, who are the founders of the main world religions throughout history. Prior to Báb and Bahá’u’lláh, the most recent of them are Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Despite variations in social practises and interpretations, Bahá’s view the main religions as having a fundamentally unified purpose. The Bahá’ Faith emphasises universal unity and categorically rejects racism, sexism, and nationalism. At the core of Bahá’s teachings is the pursuit of a unified global order that fosters the prosperity of all nations, ethnicities, religions, and social classes.

Prophet-Founder passed away on May 29, 1892. This sacred day is known as ‘The Ascension of Baha’u’llah’ and is observed by Baha’s all over the world.
