Lawh-i-Qad-Ihtaraqa'l-Mukhlisun, better known as theFire Tablet, is atablet written inArabic byBaháʼu'lláh, founder of theBaháʼí Faith, inAkká in 1871.[1] Baháʼu'lláh wrote the tablet in response to questions by a Baháʼí believer from Iran.[1] The authorized English translation was done in 1980 byAdib Taherzadeh and a Committee at theBaháʼí World Centre.
The tablet is written inrhyming verse, has the form of a conversation between Baháʼu'lláh andGod, and reflects the sufferings of Baháʼu'lláh.[2] Baháʼís often recite this tablet in times of difficulty.[1]
