BAHÁ’Í FAITH - SYMBOL
A simple nine-pointed star is generally used by
Baha'i as a symbol of their faith. The number nine has
significance in the Baha'i Revelation. Nine, as the
highest single-digit number, symbolizes completeness.
Since the Baha'i Faith claims to be the fulfillment of
the expectations of all prior religions, this symbol, as
used for example in nine-sided Baha'i temples, reflects that
sense of fulfillment and completeness.
It also represents the nine signs in the Baha'i faith:
- Progressive revelation
- The Bab
- Baha'u'llah
- Abdu'l-Baha
- The Guardian
- Baha'i administration
- Unit
- Principals and teachings
- Becoming a Baha'i.
