Prayers and spiritual guidance for daily life
Prayer in the Baháʼí Faith
Prayer is a vital part of Baháʼí life. Baháʼís are encouraged to pray daily, turning to God in gratitude, supplication, and reflection. The prayers revealed by Baháʼu'lláh, the Báb, and ʻAbdu'l-Bahá cover a wide range of spiritual needs and occasions.
In addition to personal prayer, Baháʼís gather regularly for devotional meetings where prayers and sacred writings are shared in a spirit of fellowship and unity.
