Summary "Prayers and Meditations" by Bahá'u'lláh is a collection of spiritual prayers and meditative reflections written during the mid-19th century. This work serves as an exploration of profound themes around faith, devotion, and divine connection, articulating the author's longing for closeness with God and the trials faced by both himself and his community. As the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, Bahá'u'lláh's personal experiences and beliefs are deeply embedded in these prayers.
