Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

In support of the “profound reflection on the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá” called for this year, we highlight three books containing portions from His Writings. These are available from Bahá’í Distribution Service (BDS). Other publications relating to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá will be promoted in coming months.

The Secret of Divine Civilization

The Secret of Divine Civilization is a thorough explanation of the view of the Bahá’í Faith on the true nature of civilization. It contains an appealing and universal message inspiring world-mindedness and soliciting the highest human motives and attributes for the establishment of a spiritual society. Written by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in the late nineteenth century as a letter to the rulers and people of Persia, it is still profoundly relevant today as a guide to creating a peaceful and productive world.
