The Bahá'ís are a group of like-minded folk—inspired by the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892)—who are dedicated, where ever they live, to the upliftment and advancement of community life.
The Bahá'ís wholeheartedly accept former Prophets and Teachers—among them: Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Christ, and Muhammad—as Light from a single Source, and assigned by Providence to educate and progress the life of humanity.
"Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. "
~ Bahá'u'lláh ~

The two central figures of the Bahá'í Faith are known as The Báb and Bahá'u'lláh—Arabic for "The Gate", and "The Glory of God", respectively. The Báb heralded the coming of Bahá'u'lláh—reminiscent of John the Baptist acquainting the people of that age to the imminent coming of Christ—hence the name "The Gate".
Bahá'ís consider Bahá'u'lláh to be the "Promised One" foretold by preceding religions, and these previous religions as chapters in an unfolding book progressing the spiritual life of humankind.
In the year 2019 Bahá'ís celebrated the bicentenary of the birth of the Báb. and in commemoration of the life of this outstanding Figure, released the film below entitled Dawn of the Light, A few years previously, in 2017, the Bahá'í community celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of Bahá'u'lláh's birth, and at that time released the film "Light to the World".
Our sincere hope is that these films will be of interest to those holding to hope, lovers of justice, the spiritually inquisitive, the pure in heart, seekers after truth, those of a poetic nature, and indeed all living souls!
