Baha'i laws

Baha'i laws form a core component of religious practice within the Baha'i Faith, based on authenticated texts of Baha'u'llah, the religion founder, along with subsequent interpretations by his successors and the Universal House of Justice. Rather than relying on strict institutional enforcement, the system emphasizes personal responsibility, with adherents expected to apply its principles according to their own conscience and understanding. Baha'i institutions may enforce certain social regulations, but the tradition stresses that believers should observe the laws out of spiritual devotion, and the laws are presented as a mechanism for establishing order and security in the world.
