The Tablet of Ahmad – by Bahá'u'lláh – In Arabic with English Subtitles

In his history of the Baháʼí Faith, Adib Taherzadeh writes: “The Lawh-i-Ahmad (Tablet of Ahmad) is one of the best known Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, translated into English and many other languages. It was revealed around 1282 A.H. (1865) in honour of Ahmad, a native of Yazd” (Revelation of Baháʼuʼlláh, vol. 2, p. 107). Taherzadeh offers much more historical context for the Tablet, as well as an analysis of various passages from it, in pp. 107–36 of that volume:

Moreover, in a letter written on his behalf, Shoghi Effendi has identified this Tablet as one of a just a few Writings which has been “invested by Bahá’u’lláh with a special potency and significance, and should therefore be accepted as such and be recited by the believers with unquestioning faith and confidence, that through them they may enter into a much closer communion with God, and identify themselves more fully with His laws and precepts” (Directives from the Guardian, no. 160: https://reference.bahai.org/en/t/se/D...)
