Faith founded in Persia (5)

I believe the answer is:

bahai

(Other definitions for bahai that I've seen before include "Religion emphasising unity and peace" , "faith" , "Religion of peace/unity" , "Religion seeking world peace" , "Religious follower" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
