A Prayer about Fasting

This is a Prayer about Fasting. It was written by the founder of the Baha'i Faith, Bahá'u'lláh (pronounced Ba-HA-oh-Luh).

"Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by this Revelation whereby darkness hath been turned into light, through which the Frequented Fane hath been built, and the Written Tablet revealed, and the Outspread Roll uncovered, to send down upon me and upon them who are in my company that which will enable us to soar into the heavens of Thy transcendent glory, and will wash us from the stain of such doubts as have hindered the suspicious from entering into the tabernacle of Thy unity.

I am the one, O my Lord, who hath held fast the cord of Thy loving-kindness, and clung to the hem of Thy mercy and favors. Do Thou ordain for me and for my loved ones the good of this world and of the world to come. Supply them, then, with the Hidden Gift Thou didst ordain for the choicest among Thy creatures.

These are, O my Lord, the days in which Thou hast bidden Thy servants to observe the fast. Blessed is he that observeth the fast wholly for Thy sake and with absolute detachment from all things except Thee. Assist me and assist them. O my Lord, to obey Thee and to keep Thy precepts. Thou, verily, hast power to do what Thou choosest.

There is no God but Thee, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. All praise be to God, the Lord of all worlds."

- Bahá'u'lláh

[Bahaifilms]

how did you get this?? i know MATT! the guy you said did the music?

[MatthewMuhammad]

I made it. I'm the guy you know :-)

[MatthewMuhammad]

Look, 'borrowing' or not, the experience is the same. I love Sanatana Dharma, Islam, and aspects of the Baha'i Faith all the same.

[latumoni]

Hinduism is the ultimate philosophy and Buddhism its 'soul in a nutshell'...everything from the middle east is a religion formed on borrowed philopsophies of the East...

[TrumpetMinistries]

Say something that is original, stop plagiariesing. Baha-ullah is no different than Muhammad whom plagiariesed from other faiths. Sorry someone has to sound the trumpet for people to wake up and stop them from swallowing things from people whom thought that they were chosen by God. If there is a God He wouldn't allow people to fight and kill each other for Him. So if there is only one God who is HE, and what is His embassy? So far I'm not convinced by Baha-ullah or Muhammad! So who is rite?
