Mu 1844, wamalonda wina wa ku Perisiya wazaka 25 wotchedwa Sayyed ʿAlí Muḥammad Shírází anazindikira. Anatenga mutu wa Bab, kutanthauza chipata kapena chitseko, ndipo anayamba kulalikira kudzera m’makalata ake ndi m’mabuku onena za kubwera kumene kwa munthu waumesiya, “Iye amene Mulungu adzamuonetsera.” Mofanana ndi ulaliki wa Yohane M’batizi wonena za Yesu Kristu, uthenga wa Báb unakhudza mtima kwambiri, ndipo m’zaka zoŵerengeka anasonkhanitsa zikwi za om’tsatira. Boma la Perisiya, poona kuti likuwopsezedwa ndi gulu latsopanoli, linam’tsekera m’ndende ndi kumupha mu 1850. Koma gululo linakula, ndipo mu 1863 wotsatira wa Báb anali wotsatira. Baháʼu'lláh, ananena kuti iye anali mneneri ameneyo.
Ataikidwa m’ndende ndiponso ku ukapolo kwa nthaŵi yaitali ya moyo wake, Baháʼu’lláh analemba mabuku oposa 18,000 ophatikizapo mavumbulutso a Báb, malemba ndi ziphunzitso za chipembedzo chotchedwa Chikhulupiriro cha Baháʼí.
The Chikhulupiriro cha Baháʼí amakhulupirira zinthu zitatu: Mulungu, Chipembedzo ndi Umunthu. Abaháʼí amaphunzitsa kuti chikhulupiriro ndi chinthu chopita patsogolo, chimene m’mibadwo yonse amithenga osiyanasiyana Mulungu Adaonekera Padziko lapansi, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa, Muhammad ndi ena otero, Ndi zizindikiro zawo. Chifukwa chake pali dongosolo ndi mgwirizano pakati pa zipembedzo zonse komanso pakati pa mafuko, mitundu ndi zikhalidwe zonse zapadziko lapansi. "Moyo wanzeru" wa anthu, the Abaháʼí amakhulupirira, imatitheketsa tonsefe kuzindikira unansi wathu ndi mlengi ndi kuti njira yofikira kwa iye moyandikira kwambiri kupyolera m’zipembedzo zosiyanasiyana ndiyo mwa pemphero, kuchita zauzimu ndi kutumikira ena.
Mphatso ya Chikhulupiriro cha Bahāʼí ndi mwambo wachipembedzo wolandiridwa umene umazindikira ndi kulemekeza zikhulupiriro zonse zimene zakhalapo kale. Ndithudi, zizindikiro za zipembedzo zambiri zingaoneke zolembedwa pazipilala za Nyumba Zolambirira za Abaháʼi zosiyanasiyana padziko lonse, kuyambira ku Wilmette, Illinois, mpaka ku Sydney, Australia, mpaka ku Haifa, Israel.
Motero, n’zosadabwitsa kuti mamembala achipembedzo cha Bahāʼī amalimbana ndi tsankho lamtundu uliwonse, kuchirikiza ubale ndi kufanana kwa mafuko onse, kumenyana ndi umphaŵi ndi kutengera kwenikweni mawu a Bahāʼu’lláh akuti: “Masomo anu akhale okhudza dziko lonse lapansi.”
Pokwaniritsa cholinga cha dziko lamtendere chifukwa cha lingaliro logwirizana la tsogolo la anthu ndi chikhalidwe ndi cholinga cha moyo, Bahāʼí amagwira ntchito limodzi ndi maboma ndi mabungwe apadera. The Baháʼí International Community (BIC) ndi bungwe loimira Baháʼís, lomwe linalembedwa ndi bungwe la United Nations mu 1948 ndipo tsopano lili ndi mabungwe m'mayiko ndi madera oposa 180.
Bungwe la BIC likuyesetsa “kulimbikitsa mtendere wapadziko lonse poyambitsa mikhalidwe imene mgwirizano umaonekera kukhala mkhalidwe wachilengedwe wa moyo wa anthu.” Chifukwa chake, BIC imagwira ntchito limodzi ndi mabungwe aboma ndi mabungwe omwe si aboma kuti akhazikitse chitukuko chogwirizana komanso chokhazikika, komanso ufulu wa anthu, kupititsa patsogolo amayi, maphunziro apadziko lonse, kulimbikitsa chitukuko chachuma, komanso kuteteza chilengedwe.

Mphatso ya Chikhulupiriro cha Bahāʼí ndi masomphenya a mtendere wa dziko lonse ndi umodzi pakati pa zipembedzo zonse, mafuko ndi zikhalidwe zonse, ndi ntchito yogwira mtima kuti akwaniritse masomphenyawo—zonsezo mogwirizana ndi mawu a mneneri wawo, Baháʼu’lláh:
