“Be anxiously concerned 

with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.” 
-Bahá'u'lláh

“Be anxiously concerned 

with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.” 
-Bahá'u'lláh

The progress of the world,

the development of nations, the tranquillity of peoples, and the peace of all who dwell on earth are among the principles and ordinances of God. Religion bestoweth upon man the most precious of all gifts, offereth the cup of prosperity, imparteth eternal life, and showereth imperishable benefits upon mankind.

~ Bahá’u’lláh

Vision

Our vision

Based on the foundational spiritual principle of the oneness of humankind – that the human race is but one human family, Bahá’ís together with growing numbers of families, neighbours, communities, organisations, and institutions, are engaged in concerted efforts to build united, vibrant, and inclusive communities and societies that centres around service to others.

Participation

Participation in social action and in the prevalent discourses of society, are two such complementary areas of endeavour to improve the conditions of society.  

Our Approach

Bahá’í initiatives in Singapore aim to enhance the social and material well-being of people from all walks of life, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds.

These efforts are driven by a commitment to serve the community and foster positive social change. They represent an evolving process of learning that applies the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, along with insights from various fields of human knowledge, to the unique social landscape of Singapore.

Our Process

Social and economic development challenges can be complex, and the efforts of Bahá’ís in Singapore to engage in social action are relatively modest but meaningful.

Typically, these efforts are carried out by small groups of individuals in local communities where training institute courses are widely offered.

These initiatives arise from a growing collective awareness and are often time-bound, concluding when their objectives are achieved. We focus on various areas such as health, sanitation, education, agriculture, or environmental protection, with the goal of improving some aspect of local life. 

Some Bahá'í Writings

“Man’s merit lieth in service and virtue and not in the pageantry of wealth and riches….”

“The supreme need of humanity is cooperation and reciprocity. The stronger the ties of fellowship and solidarity amongst men, the greater will be the power of constructiveness and accomplishment in all the planes of human activity.”

“And the honour and distinction of the individual consist in this, that he among all the world’s multitudes should become a source of social good.”
