Best Answer

It started in 1863, when Bahá'u'lláh stated his mission in Baghdad. A previous religion - the Babí Faith - is often considered part of the Bahá'í Faith; if you include this, it actually started in 1844.

It started with the declaration of Bahá'u'lláh, in 1963. However, the previous declaration of the Báb, in 1844, is often also considered part of Bahá'í history. "Declaration" in this context refers to a claim, to be the messenger of a message, for mankind, sent by God. Basically, bahá'ís believe that both the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh are "Messengers" or "Manifestations" that bring us a message from God, and that they are on the same level as the founders of several other religions - people like Jesus Christ, or Muhammad.

What is the bahai language?

Bahai is a religion, not a country or geographic area, nor does it represent an ethnic group.As a religion that believes in the unity of humankind, the Bahai beliefs are not restricted to any one language or language group.However, in the interests of engendering international unity, the Bahai Faith advocates the introduction of an international 'world' language. Even so, the religion has not said what language that should be, and, as yet, has not developed such a language for global use. In fact, their view is that such a language should be selected or created by the world's governments."It is incumbent upon all nations to appoint some men of understanding and erudition to convene a gathering and through joint consultation choose one language from among the varied existing languages, or create a new one, to be taught to the children in all the schools of the world." -Bahai quote, according to WikiPedia.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------See Related links below for more information.
