Take Inspiration from the Baha’i Prayers and Writings
We all lead hectic and demanding lifestyles and it can become all too easy to forget the things in life that truly matter. But if we take the time to pray and reflect, doors open to us, insight deepens, inner strength is renewed and we can face life’s many challenges with confidence, gentleness and inner peacefulness.
‘Prayer is both attitude and words . . . It is like a song; both words and music make the song. Sometimes the melody will move us, sometimes the words.’
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
We offer you a selection of Bahá’í prayers and writings that can be said whenever you feel you need them. In the Bahá’í Faith there is no set prescription on ‘how to’ pray or meditate, the only guidance is that it is a necessary part of daily life. As food and drink are to the body, so prayer and meditation are to the soul. For Bahá’í’s prayer and meditation can take many forms – some use gentle music, others gentle movement, some dance and sing, others prefer silence. Learning to connect with God is something you can enjoy experimenting with to find what works best for you. It is a gentle, happy and fulfilling process.

A short film about the Bahá’í faith with some beautiful quotes to uplift and inspire.
The core principle of the Bahá’í faith is ‘unity’, that of God, religion and humanity. Peace might seem like an unobtainable ideal but not in the Bahá’í writings.
‘Do not think the peace of the world an ideal impossible to attain. Nothing is impossible to the divine benevolence of God. If you desire with all your heart friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger until it reaches the minds of all men.’
-Bahá’u’lláh
Peace is obtainable as soon as we say it is.
