Baha'i Faith - Baha'i Today

Japanese: バハーイー教 - バハーイーきょう

A religion derived from Babiism, which advocated Islamic reform in Iran in the first half of the 19th century. The founder of Babiism, Seyyed Ali Mohammad (1820-1850), launched a religious reform movement with the goals of reviving Shiiteism, abolishing existing religious rituals, and eliminating class discrimination, but was suppressed and imprisoned. His disciple Mirza Hussein Ali (1817-1892) and others fled to Baghdad and continued to preach, founding a new sect calling itself Baha'a Allah (the one whom God makes manifest), and later moving their base to Haifa in Palestine. They advocate peace and unity of mankind, equality between men and women, the spread of education, and the adoption of a world language, and although their qualitative differences from Islam make them popular, they have gained many followers (approximately 2 million) in Iran, India, Europe, and the United States.

19世紀前半，イランで起こったイスラム改革を唱えるバーブ教から派生した宗教。バーブ教の教祖セイエド・アリー・モハンマド〔1820-1850〕はシーア派の再興と既成の宗教儀礼の廃止，階級的差別の撤廃を目標に宗教改革運動を起こし，弾圧，投獄された。その弟子ミールザー・ホセイン・アリー〔1817-1892〕らはバグダッドにのがれて布教を続け，バハー・アッラーフ（神が現し給う者）と称して新教団を創設，のちパレスティナのハイファに本拠を移した。人類の平和と統一，男女平等，教育の普及，世界語の採用などを主張し，イスラムとは質的に変化したが，イラン，インド，欧米などに多くの信徒（約200万人）を獲得している。
