===Distinction===
 
The belief in the divinity of several [[major world religions]] has led some to characterize the Bahá'í Faith as [[syncretic]] in nature. Bahá'ís, however, see their faith not as a combination of religions, but as a distinct religious tradition, with its own scriptures, teachings, and laws, and history.
 
Bahá'ís describe their faith as an independent world [[religion]], differing from the other great religious traditions only in its newness. They consider that their religion has emerged from [[Islam]] in much the same way that [[Christianity]] emerged from [[Judaism]], or [[Buddhism]] from [[Hinduism]]. Bahá'u'lláh is thought to fulfill the [[messianic]] promises, and other spiritual aspirations, of all these various predecessor faiths.
