The Book of Laws- The Most Holy Book.

Again, the Book of Laws- The Most Holy Book

This book is essential for any student of the Baha'i Faith.

This book, useful for any student of the Baha'i Faith, is a summary of the main teachings, laws, and practices of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. Any student of comparative religion will find this book highly valuable. Not only is it written by the Founder of the Baha'i Faith himself, it is crucial to understanding the complexities and practice and complete philosophy of the Baha'i Faith. But it is not any easy book to read since it covers aspects of Islamic philosophy that are the historical background of the Baha'i Faith. I recommend it to any reader who wishes a more complete picture of it's laws. Students of comparative religion will find this a fascinating book, covering as it does many aspects of religion most Westerners usually do not associate with religion. The translation is similar to old biblical English is also fascinating but yet it is readable and contemporary. Students of the Baha'i Faith, Islamic studies, Middle Eastern studies, etc., will also find this book important and intriguing.

Can be read morning and evening

The Kitab-I-Aqdas, the Most Holy Book, of the Baha'i Faith, will continue to be read cover to cover as Baha'is immerse themselves 'in the ocean' of Baha'u'llah's words.
