Abstract	Bolodo-Taefi explores the influence of Islamic thought and intellectual tradition on the Bahá’í Writings and presents thirty-four cardinal maxims of Islamic philosophy that are adopted and expounded in the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, the Báb, and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Each section explains the meaning of a maxim, describes its usage by prominent figures in Islamic intellectual history, and demonstrates its application in the Writings of the Central Figures of the Bahá’í Faith. In doing so, we gain a better understanding of the integration of some of the most profound Islamic philosophical principles within the Bahá’í teachings, and how these philosophical maxims have been influential in shaping Islamic thought as well as their relevance and reinterpretation in the context of Bahá’í scriptures.
