– Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. This earth is one household and the nativity of all humanity therefore the human race should ignore distinctions and boundaries which are artificial … the reality is that humanity is one … Therefore false distinctions of race and nativity, which are factors and causes of warfare, must be abandoned.
– Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in The Promised Day Is Come, p. In this wondrous Revelation, this glorious century, the foundation of the Faith of God, and the distinguishing feature of His Law, is the consciousness of the oneness of mankind. In every Dispensation, the light of Divine Guidance has been focused upon one central theme …. – Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race. That new revelation would again try to instill in the hearts of humanity a profound understanding and appreciation of its essential unity and oneness: By the mid-19th century, with humanity ready to move on to its next stage of collective development, another divine revelation arose in the person and writings of Baha’u’llah, the founder of the Baha’i Faith.

The more we multiplied and allowed greed, envy, and false senses of superiority to dominate our thinking, the more we began to see our differences of color as differences in kind. The social construct of race was created to separate us, resulting in humanity becoming splintered into many groups and communities, though we had always been nomads, wanderers, and migrants on this Earth. This idea of different races gradually became a social reality, resulting in privileges for some and inequitable disadvantages for others-and in what we now call racism, seen as the most challenging social issue of our time.
