 Annually , on 21 April , the Universal House of Justice sends a ‘ Ridván ’ message to the worldwide Bahá ’ í community , which generally gives an update on the progress made concerning the current plan , and provides further guidance for the year to come . The Bahá 'ís around the world are currently being encouraged to focus on capacity building through children 's classes , youth groups , devotional gatherings , and a systematic study of the religion known as study circles . Further focuses are involvement in social action and participation in the prevalent discourses of society . The years from 2001 until 2021 represent four successive five @-@ year plans , culminating in the centennial anniversary of the passing of `Abdu 'l @-@ Bahá .
