The Baha'i Faith has its roots in Islam yet many Muslims do not have accurate information about this fast-growing religion. Here Dr Moojan Momen, widely-published author in the field of world religions, rectifies this. As well as the Qur'an, Dr Momen uses the authoritative Sunni collections of Traditions and draws on Islamic prophecies to explain the Baha'i Faith from a Muslim perspective. He describes:

* The Baha'i view of the Prophet Muhammad and of Islam

* The spiritual and ethical teachings of the Baha'i Faith in comparison to Islam

* The claim of Baha'u'llah

* Baha'i spirituality

* Baha'i law, social teachings and community life and

*provides a brief history of the Baha'i Faith.

Easy to read and full of useful information, this book will also be useful to Baha'is who want to see how their religion relates to Islam.

From the Author:

This book is an attempt to present the Baha'i Faith to Muslims. Since the inception of the Bab' and Baha'i Faiths in Iran in 1844, the followers of these religions have been persecuted in many Muslim countries. Consequently there has been little opportunity for the teachings of the Baha'i Faith to be presented to Muslims in these places in a fair and unbiased manner. Most Muslims either know nothing about he Baha'i Faith at all or else know only what they have learned from prejudiced and biased accounts. Most of what Muslims think they know about the Baha'i Faith is in fact misinformation and exaggerations that have been propagated in newspapers, magazines and books in Muslim countries. The Baha'is themselves have been prevented from publishing their own works on the Baha'i Faith in these countries and they have not even been able to publish refutations of errors.
