Baha'i
Baha'iA monotheistic religion founded in Persia in the 19th century by Baha'ullah ( 1817 – 92 ) and his son Abdul Baha ( 1844 – 1921 ). The seat of its governing body, the Universal House of Justice, is in Haifa, Israel, adjacent to the golden-domed shrine of the Báb where his bones were buried in 1909 after freedom was granted to religious minorities in the Ottoman empire.
