The Bahá'í faith began to take its present form in 1844 in Iran. It grew out of the Shi'ite branch of the Muslim faith. The faith was proclaimed by a young Iranian, who called himself The Báb. He said that a messenger would soon arrive from God, who would be the latest in a line of prophets. Bahá'u'lláh became the Bahá'í prophet that the Báb had predicted would come.
Bahá'u'lláh, which means the Glory of God in Arabic, was a 19th-century Persian nobleman born Mirza Husayn Ali in 1817.
Bahá'ís believe that Bahá'u'lláh is the most recent Manifestation of God.
The Bahá'í faith accepts all religions as having true and valid origins.
The idea of progressive revelation is of central significance for the Bahá'í faith.
Bahá'u'lláh taught that God intervenes throughout human history at different times to reveal more of himself through his messengers.

There are around 6 million Bahá'ís in the world, in 235 countries.
