Persian faith (5)

I believe the answer is:

bahai

(Other definitions for bahai that I've seen before include "Religious follower" , "Religion originating in 19th century Iran" , "Religion seeking world peace" , "Religion founded in the 19th-century" , "Religion of peace/unity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
