Prayer and Meditation
For Baha'is, the purpose of life is to know and love God and thus to progress spiritually. As in most other religions, prayer and meditation are primary tools for spiritual development.
The Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Bahá'u'lláh, Himself wrote hundreds of prayers. There are prayers for general use, for healing, for spiritual growth, for facing difficulties, for marriage, for community life, and for humanity itself.
