I asked the Prophet, “What is the greatest sin in the Sight of Allah?” He said, “That you set up a rival unto Allah though He Alone created you.” I said, “That is indeed a great sin.”

~ Hadith, Bukhari Vol 6, Book 60, Number 4

Baha’is believe that all of the world’s religions really are just one; that there is no one way to get to God; that one religion is not better than the other; that the world religions are not, and should not, be rivals with one another.  Baha’is believe there is only one God; that all of the world’s religions are actually worshiping the same God.  It is our human interventions that make these different dispensations of God’s message to be rivals with one another.

The Spirit breathing through the Holy Scriptures is food for all who hunger. God Who has given the revelation to His Prophets will surely give of His abundance daily bread to all those who ask Him faithfully.

~ Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 57

Hunger is a natural feeling that we have all experienced.  It is how our body tells us we must find some food for sustenance we cannot live without.  Our souls, too, can have hunger—a hunger for truth, wisdom and a purpose in life.  The scripture can fulfill those needs and God has provided it for us.  All we must do is ask to partake of it; to read, to investigate on our own, is how we fulfill that hunger.  Just as it is necessary to eat daily, Baha’is are instructed to read of the scriptures every day, thus, our daily bread.

Jesus Christ also made allusions to bread by telling his disciples at the Last Supper, that it represented his body and to eat it in remembrance of him.  Perhaps the most popular Christian prayer is the Lord’s Prayer (Pater Noster), which contains the line:

Give us this day our daily bread.

~ Matthew 6:11 (KJV)

In the Gospel of John (6:1-15) Jesus fed 5,000 men (no record of how many women and children were also present) with just two loaves of bread and two fish.  Everyone took as much as he (or she) wanted and was satisfied and fed.  It is my belief that these both serve as analogies to the spiritual bread that is provided to us, if only we would partake of it.

The Divine Messengers have been sent down, and their Books were revealed, for the purpose of promoting the knowledge of God, and of furthering unity and fellowship amongst men.

~ Baha’u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 12

Baha’is believe that the founders of each of the major religions were Divine Messengers of the same God.  We believe in only one God, and only one true religion.  These manifestations were able to give us texts—from the Zand-i-Avesta to the Qur’ān and from the Tripiṭaka to the New Testament—these books were meant to provide us with instructions on how to create a more unified and peaceful world.  Each one revealed to us more of God’s message.

The different religions have one truth underlying them; therefore, their reality is one. … In brief, every one of the divine religions contains essential ordinances, which are not subject to change, and material ordinances, which are abrogated according to the exigencies of time. But the people of the world have forsaken the divine teachings and followed forms and imitations of the truth. Inasmuch as these human interpretations and superstitions differ, dissensions and bigotry have arisen, and strife and warfare have prevailed. By investigating the truth or foundation of reality underlying their own and other beliefs, all would be united and agreed, for this reality is one; it is not multiple and not divisible.

~ Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 105-106

When viewed objectively, all of the world’s major religions have the same message at their core.  It is one of peace and love for each other that directs us to focus our lives on service to God by doing His will.  The Baha’is believe that the founders of these religions are all different manifestations of the same God.  For this reason, to Baha’is there is just one religion.
