Translation of the Long Healing Prayer

and the Fire Tablet

13 August 1980

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

258.1 The Universal House of Justice recently commissioned the translation into English of two of the important works of Bahá’u’lláh, namely, the Long Healing Prayer and His Tablet entitled “Qad-Iḥtaraqa’l-Mukhliṣún,” known to many in the West as the “Fire Tablet”.

258.2 These translations have now been checked and approved, and a copy of each is enclosed. The Universal House of Justice leaves it entirely to your discretion to determine how these two works may be shared with the friends under your jurisdiction. There is no objection to their inclusion in prayer books published by National Spiritual Assemblies.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

Department of the Secretariat
