The most important principles of Bahai religion are abolition of all kinds of discrimination, unity of all faiths, compulsory education for all and harmony between religions and science.
The religion was founded almost two centuries ago by the Prophet Baha’ullah of Persia. His followers have constructed temples all over the world, where people from any religion can go to pray. Each of these religious structures has a unique architecture never seen before. But commonly, all of them have a central doom and nine entrances, which can be interpreted, as people from any direction can come to pray here.
