The Bahá’í golden rule says: “One should wish for one’s brother that which one wishes for oneself.”
The Golden Rule Chronology
1817-92 Bahá’u’lláh in Persia establishes the Bahá’í faith, which believes in one God and ultimately just one religion. God revealed himself through prophets that include Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ, Muhammad, and Bahá’u’lláh. Humanity is one family and needs to live together in love and fellowship.
