About this book
Composed in Baghdad during the 1850s, The Persian Hidden Words by Bahá'u'lláh presents a timeless collection of spiritual wisdom distilled into memorable passages. This philosophical and religious text features 82 brief utterances in Persian alongside 71 in Arabic, each serving as a meditation on humanity's spiritual journey and moral development.
Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, crafted these sayings as condensed expressions of profound spiritual truths.

Each passage invites reflection and contemplation, encouraging readers to uncover deeper meanings that resonate with their own spiritual experiences.
According to Bahá'u'lláh's son, Abdu'l-Bahá, these words constitute "a treasury of divine mysteries" meant to be read regularly as part of one's spiritual practice. The work has inspired generations of seekers to integrate its latent wisdom into their daily lives, viewing each utterance as a key to unlocking personal transformation and divine understanding.
This audiobook is ideal for anyone seeking practical spiritual guidance, those interested in world religions and comparative philosophy, or listeners drawn to contemplative wisdom literature. Whether you approach it from faith-based or purely philosophical perspectives, The Persian Hidden Words offers timeless insights applicable to the universal human quest for meaning and moral excellence.
