Baha'is believe that Jesus Christ is a Manifestation of God, which means He's a divine messenger who was sent to guide humanity. They see Jesus as an important spiritual teacher who brought love, compassion, and wisdom to the world.

Bahá'ís believe that there is only one God, unknowable in His essence, Who is the Creator and absolute ruler of the universe. Bahá'u'lláh says, “It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.”

Baháʼís are forbidden to drink alcohol or to take drugs, except by a doctor's order, because God has given human beings reason which is taken away by intoxicants that lead the mind astray. The non-medicinal use of opium and other mind-altering drugs is particularly condemned in the Baháʼí scriptures.

The number nine is considered the highest single-digit number, symbolizing completeness and fulfillment. In the Baha'i Faith, it represents unity, perfection, and the ultimate achievement of a spiritual journey.
