Translations

Lawḥ-i-Ḥaqq

From Bahaipedia
Jump to:navigation, search

The Lawḥ-i-Ḥaqq, provisionally translated as the Tablet of the Truth, is a Tablet revealed by Bahá’u’lláh in Arabic. It has not yet been officially translated, but a provisional translation exists.

Stephen Lambden places the date of revelation of this Tablet to the 1850s or early 1860s. He notes that its title comes from the frequent use of the term al-ḥaqq in it. Lambden notes that while al-ḥaqq is commonly translated as 'truth' this does not adequately convey the meaning of the word in its Islamic context which is closer to 'Ultimate Reality' or 'what corresponds to facts'. In this Tablet Bahá’u’lláh claims to be al-ḥaqq.
