Welcome to the Bahá’í Community of Mauritius

The Bahá’í Faith, born in 1844, is a world religion whose purpose is to unite all the races and peoples of the world in one universal Cause and one common Faith. Bahá’ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the future of society and of the nature and purpose of life. Such a vision unfolds in the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh.

Oneness of God

Bahá’ís believe in one God, unknownable in His essence, who is the source of all creation. This principle emphasizes the notion that all religions are different paths to understanding the same divine truth.
Done

Oneness of Humanity

Bahá’ís believe that all people are created from the same source and are fundamentally equal, regardless of race, nationality, religion, or other distinctions. It calls for the recognition of this inherent unity where every individual is treated with dignity and respect.
Done

Oneness of Religion

All major world religions are seen as part of a single, progressive revelation from God. Bahá’ís believe that the teachings of different prophets – such as Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, The Báb, and Bahá’u’lláh – are different chapters in the same spiritual book.
Done

Equality of Men and Women

This is a fundamental principle that asserts the inherent equality of all people, regardless of gender. It is central to Bahá’í teachings and is considered essential for the advancement of society and the realization of justice and harmony.
 
Done

Independent Investigation of Truth

This principle states that each individual has the responsibility and right to seek and understand truth for themselves, rather than rely solely on traditional beliefs, authorities, or external sources. It encourages personal exploration and critical thinking in the pursuit of knowledge and spiritual understanding.
Done

Harmony between Science and Religion

The harmony of science and religion is one of the fundamental principles of the Bahá’í Faith, which teaches that religion, without science, soon degenerates into superstition and fanaticism, while science without religion becomes merely the instrument of crude materialism.
Taken together, science and religion provide the fundamental organizing principles by which individuals, communities, and institutions function and evolve. They are vital to the advancement of civilization.
Done

Universal Peace upheld by a World Federation

The Bahá’í Faith envisions universal peace through the establishment of a world federation, a global governing body that upholds justice, unity, and cooperation among nations. It emphasizes the need for international laws, a unified world currency, a common language, and equitable distribution of resources.
Such a system would be rooted in the principle of the oneness of humanity, ensuring peace and prosperity for all through collective decision-making and shared responsibility.
Done

Elimination of Prejudices

Bahá’ís advocate for the elimination of all forms of prejudice, including those based on race, religion, gender, and nationality, as essential for achieving unity and peace. Misconceptions and prejudices that consider one group of people as superior to another are a major contributor to humanity’s present afflictions based on ignorance 
and blinding us to the fact that every person is essentially a spiritual being with unique talents and capacities.
Done

Universal Compulsory Education

The Bahá’í Faith strongly emphasizes universal education as essential for the progress of both individuals and society. Bahá’u’lláh has announced that inasmuch as ignorance and lack of education are barriers of separation among mankind, all must receive training and instruction.
Through this provision the lack of mutual understanding will be remedied and the unity of mankind furthered and advanced. Universal education is a universal law.
Done

Spiritual Solutions to Economic Problems

The Bahá’í Faith teaches that economic problems require spiritual solutions, emphasizing the need for justice, generosity, and ethical conduct in economic affairs. Material wealth should be used for the benefit of society, and extremes of poverty and wealth are seen as harmful. While wealth is not condemned,
it is considered a responsibility to use it in ways that promote social welfare and justice. Those with means are encouraged to share their resources for the common good.
