selected quotations
(authoritative sources)

These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"He is the King, the All-Knowing, the Wise!

Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise singeth upon the twigs of the Tree of Eternity, with holy and sweet melodies ...

Learn well this Tablet, O Aḥmad. Chant it during thy days and withhold not thyself therefrom ...

Should one who is in affliction or grief read this Tablet with absolute sincerity, God will dispel his sadness, solve his difficulties and remove his afflictions ...

Verily, He is the Merciful, the Compassionate. Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds."

– From the Tablet of Aḥmad (in: Bahá'í Prayers)

"... The words 'Be thou as a flame of fire to My enemies and a river of life eternal to My loved ones' should not be taken in their literal sense. Bahá'u'lláh's advice is that again we should flee from the enemies of God and instead seek the fellowship of His lovers."

– Shoghi Effendi, Dawn of a New Day, p. 200
