The National Spiritual Assembly is the governing body of the Bahá'í Faith in a specific country. It is responsible for overseeing the activities of the Bahá'í community, ensuring that the teachings and principles of the faith are upheld. Members are elected annually by local Bahá'í communities and serve for a term of five years. Each National Spiritual Assembly works to promote unity, education, and social development within its region. They also represent the Bahá'í community to external organizations and governments, fostering dialogue and understanding about the faith's values and goals.
