This publication introduces the reader to the youngest of the world's religions - the Bahá'í Faith. Emerging in Iran in the mid-19th century, it became a message of universal unity - the unity of God, faith, and humanity, bringing together millions of people around the world. Today, Bahá'í administrative centers exist in over two hundred countries, second only to Christianity in geographical spread, and the writings of its founder Bahá'u'lláh have been translated into eight hundred living languages. The new faith immediately established itself as a distinct religion. According to most theologians and religious scholars, Bahá'í is neither a cultic offshoot nor a reformist movement within any existing belief system, nor can it be reduced to a syncretic philosophical trend. Bahá'ís are distinguished by their exceptional progressiveness and inclusivity of ethical principles, attracting more followers each year. Such popularity necessitates its scholarly study. This demand is met by the book of the leading scientific researcher of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yu. A. Ioannesyan, which provides a comprehensive description of the history, teachings, religious practices, and administrative principles of the Bahá'í Faith based on primary sources.
