Orthodox Bahá'í Faith

The Orthodox Bahá'í Faith is a branch of the Bahá'í community that adheres to the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the religion, while emphasizing the authority of the Guardianship and the importance of the original texts. Unlike the mainstream Bahá'í community, which is led by an elected body known as the Universal House of Justice, Orthodox Bahá'ís believe in the leadership of a designated Guardian. They focus on the preservation of Bahá'í teachings and practices, advocating for fidelity to the faith's core principles and historical framework established by its founders.
