According to the Abjad system of Isopsephy, the word Baha has a numerical equivalence of 9, and thus there is frequent use of the number 9 in Bahai symbols.
The most commonly used symbol connected to the number 9 is the nine-pointed star, there is no particular design of the nine-pointed star that is used more often than others. While the star is not a part of the teachings of the Bahai Faith, it is commonly used as an emblem representing "9", because of the association of number 9 with perfection, unity and Baha.
Baha'is believe all the world's major religions are part of God's continuing revelation of His Will for Humankind.
They believe each individual has a right and an obligation to pursue truth independently, and religious freedom is essential for the progress of Humanity.
