Description

Prayer in the Bah�'� Faith refers to two distinct concepts: obligatory prayer and devotional prayer (general prayer). Both types of prayer are composed of reverent words which are addressed to God,[1] and the act of prayer is one of the most important Bah�'� laws for individual discipline.[2] The purpose of prayer in the Bah�'� Faith is to get closer to God and to Bah�'u'll�h and to help better one's own conduct and to request divine assistance.[3]Bah�'�s between the ages of 15 and 70 are required to perform one of three prescribed obligatory prayers daily and individually, according to a set form and in accordance with specific laws. In addition to the daily obligatory prayer, Bah�'� scripture directs believers daily to offer devotional prayer as well as to meditate and study sacred scripture. There is no set form for devotions and meditations.Devotional prayers may be offered in the believer's own words. In addition, there is a large corpus of devotional prayers written by the B�b, Bah�'u'll�h, `Abdu'l-Bah�, the central figures of the Bah�'� Faith, which are used extensively by Bah�'�s in their devotional life.[2] These prayers, encompassing many topics that include meetings, times of day, and healing, are held in high esteem. The specific words are believed by many Bah�'�s to have special power. Group reading from prayer books is a common feature of Bah�'� gatherings. Commonly, Bah�'�s gather informally in each other's homes to read prayers in events known as devotionals. Participants in a devotional gathering take turns reading aloud from a prayer book, while the others listen in reverent silence.
