The Kitáb-i-Aqdas: The Most Holy Book

"The Kitáb-i-Aqdas: The Most Holy Book" is the central religious text of the Bahá'í Faith, written by Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the religion, in 1873 while He was imprisoned in the city of 'Akká. This seminal work outlines the laws, principles, and ordinances that form the foundation of the Bahá'í Faith. It addresses a wide range of topics, including spiritual and ethical guidance, social principles, and the establishment of Bahá'í institutions. The book is notable for its comprehensive approach to religious and social laws, providing a framework for the spiritual and administrative order of the Bahá'í community. It includes supplementary texts and Bahá'u'lláh's replies to questions posed by His followers, offering further insights into the application of its teachings. First published in Arabic, "The Kitáb-i-Aqdas" was later translated into English and other languages, making its profound teachings accessible to a global audience. The first authorized English translation, published in 1992, includes annotations and explanatory notes to help readers understand the context and significance of the text. "The Kitáb-i-Aqdas" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Bahá'í Faith, religious studies, and the principles of global unity and justice. It serves as a guiding light for Bahá'ís and offers valuable insights into the vision of a unified and harmonious world.
