Throughout history, Divine Educators, also known as Manifestations of God, have been sent by God to humanity and their teachings have provided the foundation for the progression of civilization. These divine educators include Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muḥammad, The Bab and Bahá’u’lláh.

​

Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explains that all religions have the same origin and are essentially successive chapters of one religion from God. Bahá’ís believe that humanity's crucial need is to find a unifying vision for the future of society, and this can be achieved through the study and contemplation of the writings of Bahá’u’lláh.
