The Bahá'ís pray to the one true God, the Creator of the universe. The act of praying is described as ‘a conversation with God’. It is obligatory for every Bahá'í to pray and meditate on the Words of God every day.

In the Bahá'í Holy Writings, there are prayers for all occasions. Prayers can be offered individually or collectively. Great importance is given to prayers revealed in all Scriptures.

However, the Bahá'í Writings specify that the mere act of praying is not sufficient. The inspiration drawn from one’s prayers must be translated into actions that promote the well being of humanity.
