A simple nine-pointed star is generally used by Baha'is as a symbol of the Faith. It is shown on the banner with the white background. The number nine has significance in the Baha'i Revalation. Nine Years after the announcement of the Bab In Shiraz, Baha'ullah received the intimation of his mission in the dungeon in Teheran. Nine, as the highest single-digit number, symbolizes completeness. Since the Baha'i Faith claims to be the fulfillment of the expectation of all prior religions, this symbol, as used for example in nine-sided Baha'i temples, reflects that sense of fulfillment and completeness.
