Religion:List of writings of Baháʼu'lláh

From HandWiki
Short description: none

Baháʼu'lláh, founder of the Baháʼí Faith, wrote many books and revealed thousands of tablets and prayers, of which only a fraction has so far been translated into English.

Around two third of the texts are in Arabic, and one third in Persian, or a combination of both languages.[1]

The list below, organized by the city he was in while he wrote the tablet, is not complete; it shows only the best-known writings of Baháʼu'lláh.
