About “Kitáb-i-Aqdas”

The Kitáb-i-Aqdas is the central religious text of the Baháʼí Faith, written by Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the religion, in 1873. It serves as the primary source of Baháʼí laws and practices. While it contains laws and regulations, it also addresses broader topics such as the religion's foundational principles, the establishment of Baháʼí institutions, mysticism, ethics, social principles, and prophecies. In Baháʼí literature, it is referred to as "the Mother-Book" and "the Charter of the Future World Civilization." The text is considered the core of Baháʼí teachings and a foundational document for the community. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
