Baha’i - A simple nine-pointed star is generally used by Baha'is as a symbol of their faith. The number nine has significance in the Baha'i Revelation. Nine years after the announcement of the Bab in Shiraz, Baha’u’llah received the intimation of his mission in the dungeon in Tehran. Nine, as the highest single-digit number, symbolizes completeness. Since the Baha'i Faith claims to be the fulfillment of the expectations of all prior religions, this symbol, as used, for example, in nine-sided Baha'i houses of worship, reflects that sense of fulfillment and completeness.
