A podcast explanation and deep dive into the letter from the National Spiritual Assembly to Baha'is of the World with Questions and Answers on War and Related Issues
This compilation from Baháʼí sources addresses the faith's perspective on war, peace, and related social issues. It clarifies that while the Baháʼí teachings advocate for universal peace as the ultimate goal and stress the necessity of addressing the root causes of conflict through spiritual transformation, they do not constitute absolute pacifism. The texts outline the concept of collective security envisioned by Baháʼuʼlláh as a necessary step toward global order, potentially involving the use of force for just purposes under international law. Furthermore, the compilation explains the Baháʼí principles of obedience to government, non-involvement in partisan politics, and the emphasis on individual non-combatancy in military service when possible, alongside the importance of focusing on spiritual and social transformation as the path to lasting peace.
