Welcome to the official website for the Bahá’í Community of Melville, Western Australia representing 

What is the Bahá’í Faith

The Bahá’í Faith is a world wide religion with adherents in more than 235 countries and territories in the world comprising over 116,000 localities, one of which is the City of Melville.

Bahá’ís come from many religious and even non-religious backgrounds.  The underlying common belief is that religion derives from one common divine source and is continually renewed through special Teachers such as Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, Bahá'u'lláh and others to provide never ending spiritual guidance to humanity. Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith has come to bring teachings and principles to establish the oneness of humanity:  "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens"

The major beliefs of the Bahá’í Faith concern the promotion of world peace and the establishment of a united global commonwealth by the peoples of the world. Its auxiliary teachings include:

Abolishment of all forms of prejudice
Promotion of economic justice for all peoples
Promotion of the equality of men and women
Ensuring access to quality education covering not only academic grounding but moral and ethical concerns
Emphasis on unfettered search for scientific and religious truth
