Both violence and non-violence are important themes in the Bahá'í Faith, but their relationship is not simple. The Bahá'í sacred writings see violence in the world as being a consequence of the immature state of human civilization. This Element explores how Bahá'í scriptures provide a blueprint for building a new culture where violence is rare.
Both violence and non-violence are important themes in the Bahá''í Faith, but their relationship is not simple. The Bahá''í sacred writings see violence in the world – not just against Bahá''ís, but physical and structural violence against everyone – as being a consequence of the immature state of human civilization. The Baha''i community itself has been nonviolent since its founding by Baha''u''llah in the mid nineteenth century and has developed various strategies for responding to persecution nonviolently. This Element explores how their scriptures provide a blueprint for building a new, more mature, culture and civilization on this planet where violence will be rare and nonviolence prevalent.
