Definition
The Baha'i Faith itself, a religion centered on the teachings of Baha'u'llah and emphasizing spiritual unity and social progress.
Etymology
Formed from Bahai plus the suffix -ism (indicating a system of beliefs or principles). This English coinage emerged in the late 1800s as scholars and practitioners needed a term for the organized religion.
Kelly Says
Bahaism was explicitly designed as a progressive religion—Baha'u'llah encouraged his followers to adopt new technologies and support scientific advancement, making it one of the few faiths founded with modernism as a core feature.
