The Baha'i administration or Baha'i administrative order refers to the administrative system of the Baha'i Faith. It is split into two parts, the elected and the appointed. The supreme governing institution of the Baha'i Faith is the Universal House of Justice, situated in Haifa, Israel. Some features set apart the Baha'i administration from similar systems of human government: elected representatives should follow their conscience, rather than being responsible to the views of electors; political campaigning, nominations and parties are prohibited; and religious authority was passed down from its founder to the Universal House of Justice.

The Baha'i Faith in Finland began with contact between traveling Scandinavians with early Persian believers of the Baha'i Faith in the mid-to-late 1800s while Finland was politically part of the Russian Empire.

Following a period of more Baha'i pioneers coming to the country, Baha'i Local Spiritual Assemblies spread across Finland while the national community eventually formed a Baha'i National Spiritual Assembly in 1962.

Baha'u'llah (November 12, 1817 – May 29, 1892), born Mirza ?usayn-`Ali Nuri, was the founder of the Baha'i Faith. He claimed to be the prophetic fulfilment of Babism, a 19th-century outgrowth of Shi‘ism, but in a broader sense claimed to be a messenger from God referring to the fulfilment of the eschatological expectations of Islam, Christianity, and other major religions. Baha'u'llah taught that humanity is one single race and that the age has come for its unification in a global society. His claim to divine revelation resulted in persecution and imprisonment by the Persian and Ottoman authorities, and his eventual 24-year confinement in the prison city of `Akka, Palestine, where he died. In his lifetime he authored many religious...
