The only Bahá'í House of Worship in the world, this emerging religion originated in Iran in the mid-19th century and illuminates the path of humanity with its ideas of eliminating prejudice, gender equality, universal education, and harmony between science and religion. It advocates for world peace and the unity of mankind, which is not only the belief of Bahá'ís but also the beautiful vision of all humanity. The Bahá'í House of Worship is a landmark building on all continents with its unique nine-sided design and central dome. The Bahá'í House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois, USA, is the only one on the American continent. It is located on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, as if it can capture the spirit and harmony of nature. The exterior walls of this Bahá'í House of Worship are made of a mixture of Portland cement and quartz concrete, decorated with various religious symbols such as the cross, crescent moon, and Star of David, reflecting the inclusiveness and harmony of the Bahá'í Faith. The interior of the dome is simple and solemn, with sunlight streaming through the hollow design, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere. The symbol of the Bahá'í Faith in the center of the dome is inscribed with the Arabic word "Bahá'u'lláh," the name of the founder of the Bahá'í Faith and the core of this faith. The surroundings of the Bahá'í House of Worship are beautiful, with a nine-sided design and a large entrance on each side, each with a fountain and a variety of flowers, especially the thousands of tulips planted every fall, which are breathtakingly beautiful. Here you can feel the perfect blend of nature and art, as if you are in a dreamlike fairy tale world.

Baha'i house of worship is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. This is a place you need to visit if you are in Chicago vicinity

Baha'i Temple is an active house of worship and quite lovely. As long as you are modestly dressed and respectful you may admire the outside of this lovely structure. Absolutely lovely and awe inspiring. So intricate. #happynewyear #happynewyear
