Baha'i Writings

Baha'i sacred literature consists of the total body of the writings of Baha'u'llah, and their interpretation and amplification in the writings of Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi.

Baha'u'llah's literary legacy of more than 100 works includes the Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book), the repository of his laws; the Kitab-i-Iqan (The Book of Certitude), an exposition of essential teachings on the nature of God and religion; The Hidden Words, a collection of brief utterances aimed at the edification of men's "souls and the rectification of their conduct," Epistle to the Son of the Wolf , his last major work; and innumerable prayers, meditations, exhortation and epistles, as well as tablets to various rulers of the world. Baha'is believe that the writings of Baha'u'llah are inspired and constitute God's revelation for this age.
