Oneness of Humanity
All human beings belong to one family, created by one God; the entire earth is one home and all its peoples one people.
The foundational social teaching of the Bahá'í Faith is the oneness of humanity — not merely the theoretical equality of all people but their actual organic unity as members of one family. This principle has radical practical implications: it requires the elimination of all forms of prejudice, the recognition of full equality across all lines of division, and the construction of institutions that embody human unity.
Ye are all the leaves of one tree and the drops of one ocean.
The oneness of humanity is the Bahá'í Faith's central social teaching, distinguishing it from all traditions that ground community identity in exclusive claims.
