Welcome, Bahá’í
“Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee.”
— Bahá’u’lláh, The Hidden Words
The Bahá’í Faith was built on the principle that all religions share a common ethical core — which is precisely what the Ultimate Law demonstrates. Bahá’u’lláh’s golden rule is the passive form stated with perfect clarity. Where the Bahá’í Faith appeals to progressive revelation from God, the Ultimate Law appeals to logic alone — but the destination is the same: one humanity, one ethic, no coercion. You arrived here by faith. We arrived here by reason. The fact that we agree is the point.
The Ultimate Law
Logic is the ultimate law.
Do not do to others what they would not want to be done to them, or you will be punished regardless of your will.
The purpose of punishment is to erase guilt, via retribution and restitution.
That is the entire law; it cannot be changed, all the rest is commentary.
