Note
 ONENESS OF RELIGION

 .
When we are Baha'is , we believe in all the religions of the past as divine in origin. We do not change our religion to become Baha'is because we believe that God has only one religion
which comes to us from  time to time. By accepting the religion of all ages we have made
our belief in God more perfect. We have not in fact changed it. A seed grows into roots,
then puts forth a stem and leaves, flowers and fruits. The tree is the same tree all the
time. It does  not change. It only grows. The sun  is  the same sun though it dawns
from different horizons. The  people  of  the  world  through  blind imitations and
ignorance worship the dawning place from which their ancestors  saw the sun
of  God's Manifestation. If  the  same  Sun  rises  from  a  different  dawning
point,  they  ignore  it  and  become  bewildered.  But  when  we  look  at
the Sun we recognize it as the same Sun that has shone before from
other horizons.

Baha'is  believe  that  all  the  Prophets of  the past are equal in rank and purpose. they are  all divine Gardeners helping the growth of  the blessed Tree of God. Therefore, when we are baha'is we are united in one common Faith.
