Description
The Summons of the Lord of Hosts gathers a series of tablets revealed by Bahá’u’lláh during the later decades of His ministry, addressed to kings, rulers, religious leaders, and influential figures of the 19th century. These writings call humanity to justice, unity, humility, and recognition of divine truth, offering admonition to oppressive powers and encouragement to those striving for righteousness. Composed in ‘Akká and Haifa, the tablets reflect the maturity of Bahá’u’lláh’s revelation, articulating themes of spiritual authority, moral responsibility, and the unfolding of a new world order. Today, the collection stands as a central text for understanding Bahá’u’lláh’s public proclamation and His vision for the spiritual transformation of society.
